    Probably not. I would not machine dry though in any event. What style no. is the fabric?

    To Boot NewYork Shoes quality

    I sold some on here about 6 months ago that were awesome. If you care you can probably check my post history for them but I don't feel like it. They are made by different manufacturers and there is no consistency. I can't tell you to buy them without seeing them because you may be buying a very...

    Critique Janzten

    For a first try (?) at Jantzen, the sleeves don't look that short to me; you must have done your homework. Give it a wash or two, then check the sleeve length and the chest. You might be right on the neck. A formerly devoted 15/33 OTR, I used to think that my sleeves were just the right...

    Swatch Watches?

    Funny, just had the same thought and came here looking for input. Doesn't seem to be much. I am going to buy one though. At $75, not a huge investment.

    Jantzen, Reliable at last?

    ^ Agreed. Regardless of whether you talk to Ricky, the solution will involve you first sending the shirt back. If you must speak with him, call, don't email. Incidentally, what fabric did you choose? I just got my extra fine 8057 (blue with medium white squares) in the mail. My best yet from...

    Jantzen, Reliable at last?

    To my SURPRISE RICKY FROM JANTZEN JUST CALLED MY CELL PHONE TO CONFIRM MY ORDER wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Has anyone else ever had that happen? Wow, never heard of that. Maybe his server is down. Maybe he had a good day. Either way there is no telling what tricks and crazy...

    Jantzen, Reliable at last?

    If you submit an order online do you get some kind of order #? I'm going to send them a shirt to duplicate so I want to make sure they know its mine when they get it. They give you an alpha-numeric customer number that doesn't change from order to order. I think it's five or six digits. Then...

    Fancy clubbing shirt - Jantzen blew it!

    ^ agreed. This actually looks pretty good. It's not a dress shirt, it's a fancy clubbing shirt through and through.

    Is this a no-no?

    Dogma. But in my book this is a bit like wearing polo shirts with dress slacks (which passes for "business casual", whatever that means, in parts of the Midwest). I say no french cuffs without a suit, or at least none without coat and tie. There is a guy in my building who wears french cuffs...

    Sporty Watches w/ Suits

    Perhaps it's not about wanting to say anything. Suits are necessary in some professions that do not also require fancy watches.

    New Years Eve at the Kennedy Center

    I am clueless when it comes to style. My last suit was purchased 15 years ago and is obviously dated. What should I be looking for in a suit for this event? I would like to be able to also wear it again for business. I am in IT for an advertising company. Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

    Tuxedo in late 20s- rent or buy?

    I was going to say buy one like everyone else, but if you're only going to spend $350, then you should rent. One of the driving factors appears to be your assumption that you'll get multiple wearings out of it in years to come. But in years to come, you'll probably be much more likely to spend...

    An Incredible Sale at Saks!

    Just hit Saks again and the 70% off is still in effect. They have put out a bunch of new ties including some killer Borrelli, Charvet and Spano by Drakes all for leass than $45/pop. Did you notice whether they had put out any new suits too?

    Black Friday in Chicago

    Good call on FB, anything of note? I've never really found anything worthwhile at that FB, but have had better luck with the Michigan Ave. one on occasion. Michigan Ave. FB had some great stuff in "The Vault" about a week ago, but the selction of gems has probably dwindled by now. You have to...

    An Incredible Sale at Saks!

    I hope nothing, since there's no tax on clothing items under $110 in NYC. I think this is per item. Chicago sales tax is 10.25% so we can pay our millions of city employees. SKS is trading around $3.65. Market cap around 500M. That's about what Tiger Woods makes in a few years. He should buy...

    Groupthink or Connoisseurs' Consensus?

    Gather 10 or 100 foodies in a room. Chances are 90% or more of them -- probably close to all of them -- are going to love foie gras. Is that "groupthink"? Or is there something inherent in the subject matter that leads a refined palate in that direction? Can't it be both? Or are you trying to...
