    Tanner Goods article on hypebeast

    Nice pics. So difficult to read because the lines of text run so wide (dual columns, anyone?), but a nice interview: http://hypebeast.com/2010/03/contemp...-tanner-goods/ Mark and Sam hint at some new products, like boots (!), duffel bags, and eyeglasses frames (seriously). (couldn't find a...

    Starch vs. Chemicals for stain-proofing canvas shoes

    Hi there, I have a pair of new PF Flyers Bob Cousy '63s in Natural, which have canvas uppers (link here). I know that canvas shoes are meant to get grungy, etc, but I would ideally like to keep my raw denim from transferring indigo onto them, because blue stains on off-white canvas looks pretty...

    Best leather dressing for "calf shine leather" (on a chukka)

    Hi there, I have a pair of Frye Manny Chukkas in Maple that are in a calf shine leather. I'd like to maintain the shine, but not augment it or throw it off, and would ideally like to not alter the color of the shoe. Unfortunately "calf shine vintage leather" is the most detailed description...

    Any opinions on the new $195 Bonobos dress wools?

    New dress wools at Bonobos: http://www.bonobos.com/store/cat/pants/fabric/wool They're $195, which is $30 more expensive even than their very nice Loro Piana stuff. Anyone snag a pair or two and care to tell why? Or just comment in general? I'll probably just order a few and send all/all but...

    My company got billed by UPS for customs charges -- what?

    Hey guys, The office manager where I work just told me that there's a $100+ customs bill sitting at her desk for an order addressed to me. I ordered some stuff from Albam clothing in the UK, and had it shipped to my work because I didn't want to miss an international shipment while I was at...

    Suggestions for Bal full Wing Tips (Cole Haan/Alden?)

    Hi there, I bought a pair of Johnston and Murphy Waverly wingtips off Zappos, and am looking for a replacement. I've worn them maybe three times, and while I absolutely love the full wing tip bal styling (as well as the medium-gauge broguing) -- and how they go well with both dress slacks and...

    How to repair dry cleaning damage on wool pants?

    Hi there, I have a pair of grey wool slacks that I like very much (Bonobos Tiger Sharks, if you want to know), and recently took them to the dry cleaners. It was the second time they had been dry cleaned ever. I got them back the other day, and went to put them on this morning and noticed, to...

    Fresh soap

    Anyone have any experience using Fresh soap? Generally, soap (even high-end stuff) dries out my skin and leaves icky residue, but I was given a bar of the mangosteen for the holidays and the stuff smells incredible. Right now it's just sitting on my nightstand making my bedroom smell awesome...

    Useful denim/pants measurement diagram

    From Oi Polloi, which seems to be a Context-like site in England (UK people can set me straight on that if they want to)... There's a very nice diagram explaining what individual measurements terms mean exactly. http://www.oipolloi.com/oipolloi/shop/measdenim.php Questions like these most often...

    Nubuck conditioner? & brushes

    Hi folks, I have a pair of nubuck shoes that I never conditioned because they were cheap, but they got dirty (with tahini, if you must know) and I'm looking to clean them. I've got some nubuck cleaner and a brush and eraser on order, etc, but am thinking once I get the shoe clean that I should...

    Experience with Modern Tailor non-iron fabric?

    Hey everyone, I was wondering if people had had any experience with Modern Tailor's non-iron fabrics. I'm thinking of getting a shirt from them in probably a blue twill with some kind of funky patterned contrasting around the interior neck (nice that they offer that option) but hate ironing/dry...

    Will Uniqlo dress shirts shrink in a cold wash and medium dryer?

    Subject says most everything. I'm thinking of the 100% cotton "Easy Care" "Fine Cloth Shirt" dress shirts (not the oxford shirts); I bought a small. I machine wash everything on cold and would put it into a medium-low dryer and tend to pull nicer things/dress shirts before my heavier cotton...
