    What is Your "Must Buy It" Price?

    I was taught that it isn't a bargain if you don't actually need it. I have always been pretty loose with the definition of "need" though. will you seriously buy something just because it's a "good" deal? what if you already have one identical or very similar? as much fun as it is to buy things...

    Slipping tie knots- collar band peeking out above knot.

    I've had this happen to my tie knots too. sometimes i can tug the horizontal part higher on the knot which helps. it might be a shirt collar construction thing too, maybe tie a half windsor instead to bulk up the knot a bit if the tie is thin? I've also thought this might happen if the tie...

    Essential Outerwear Pieces Every Man Should Own in the Northeast?

    having moved from Texas to Boston myself, the biggest challenge won't be winter, its spring and fall which are seasons Texas doesn't really have. many months of chilly but not cold rainy days. its the fall and spring jackets that will get the most use. winter is certainly snowy and cold, but a...

    Which tuxedo shirt - Boss vs BB?

    really, neither. the BB slim is not that slim (i'm 35" waist so not super slim and they are still way to big on me) and not sure of the Hugo Boss. not wild about the pleats around the HB cuffs either. Really for the price of either of those you should have one MTM. it will fit much better...

    Cheap Tuxedo Help

    if you have a little time, watch the JAB Signature 1B peak lapel. it will go as low as $230 if you catch the right sale. you are then in the game of getting matching grosgrain or faille accessories but its probably the best option in the price range and 100% "correct". don't forget that getting...

    Morning Coat or White Tie

    i think if the sun is still visibly up you should stay away from formal wear, particularly if it won't be well received by the rest of the party or the bride's family. you could always change to white tie or black tie for the reception though. also if the groomsmen aren't in evening wear you...

    AE Park Avenue Sizing Vs Cliftons

    i take a 11.5D in both, but a 12C in other AE shoes. the 8 last is not as long as the 5, but it does have an elongated to box.

    Which jacket fits? (Update: New Pics on Page 2)

    the 38 looks too wide in your shoulders, you can see that the suit sticks out an inch or so beyond the corner of your shoulder.

    Which Allen Edmonds Shoe to get

    I vote Hale only from this list, but also second the Srands. nothing wrong with brown default shoes either.

    Review of my 1st MTM shirt (Hemrajani / mytailor.com): fit pics added!

    At $80 shipped, a great value imo. While perhaps premature at this point, I honestly see no reason I'd buy rtw shirts again. I had the same conclusion when i had a tuxedo shirt made by them. I plan to tweek the fit a bit and order a few soon. I found that mine continued to shrink noticably for...
