    The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

    I know these aren't anything to write home about, but I was in Buffalo Exchange selling some of my wife's crap yesterday and found a pair of these: They're Grenson (the cheap line). Size UK8. They were in decent shape (soles ok, but a slight dark mark/oily looking stain on the left toe, but...

    The State of Black Tie: Your Observations

    YES!!! Mine's a mess, and I'm irritated. I wore it maybe 4 times before it began.

    Big thanks to los_face for the Balderessini jacket (among other things). Just picked up from the tailor. Will post a fit pic asap (wearing it to a wedding this weekend). This one (to jog people's memory)...

    Vintage Dinner Suit/Tuxedo? Crunched for time and need help

    You have 11 days, including today, to cover shipping and alterations? For my tailor, that means I'd need the suit in hand in 4 days. That's really tight. If I were in your shoes, unfortunately, I'd rent, and be on the look out for next time. Other options include Joseph A Bank, or even H&M or...

    Kent Wang - Affiliate thread

    I went a little nuts with the prints and ordered the Cellarius, Lindisfarne Gospels, Elijah Burritt, and Great Wave squares back in December. Got the Cellarius right away and was the one I was least excited about. Now that I've had it for 2 months or so, however, it's become probably my favorite...

    Need some help figuring out a small problem

    it's a pretty standard alteration, but I wouldn't trust a dry cleaner to do it - take it to a real tailor. see a full explanation from someone who actually knows about these things here: http://www.styleforum.net/t/306029/that-pesky-roll-below-the-collar/0_100

    Black Lapel or Proper Suit?

    I don't think you'd get better value out of OTR. My suits from ProperSuit (I've said before, but I have 2), compare well above their cost against retail. For $800 retail, you're getting hugo boss or maybe BB 1818. Those are either half canvassed or fused, with low to mid range fabric. From...

    Black Lapel or Proper Suit?

    The good news (unlike with an online MTM operation) is that they'll have swatches at your fitting with Proper Suit, so you'll be able to see and touch the fabric before buying a suit. My first suit (which I'm wearing today) is the essentials ($750) line charcoal. Is it the nicest fabric I've...

    Black Lapel or Proper Suit?

    At the risk of sounding like a shill, I've got two suits from Proper Suit and couldn't be happier. Would be happy to go into more depth on the process/fit etc, but don't want to overstep by posting too much (think my last few posts have been about them). I've been happy with the fit, quality...

    Advice: What to tell my girlfriend

    I don't think the "control issue" exists. We've been talking about brides, but this isn't about weddings, (OP didn't say he's getting married, right? Just that his girlfriend doesn't like his tux?). Which leads me to the following conclusion: Commenting on the strength a relationship between...
