    I'm at a loss

    I'd be tempted to go with a light-to-medium brown myself, although those RL slippers (?) are brilliant. But anyway, three pages in and no one is fleshing out the rest of the wardrobe. What else does one wear with red cords once the shoe issue is nailed down? Scott

    Forbes Most Expensive Suits

    OK, this is rich (pun intended). I just flipped on the boob tube while folding laundry and there's some new show highlighting how much money the ultrarich drop on nonsense. $30k for a dog's birthday. Now, this is crass. I doubt I'll change the channel though. Scott

    Forbes Most Expensive Suits

    Point taken.  That's a fair enough criticism.  The article focused a lot on price to be sure.  I'd say that was more to make it interesting to those with nothing more than a casual interest in bespoke clothing than it was a philosophy that the magazine's readers are shallow and obsessed with...

    Forbes Most Expensive Suits

    I don't understand where that generalization comes from.  A single article with which you disagree?  A little harsh don't you think.  I mean, to toss around the image of Donald Trump like that ... some of us are reading this before dinner. And what's with the almost universal ridicule of the...

    Proper sleeve lengths for shirts and jackets

    My clothes are decidedly more pedestrian than the tailored stuff usually discussed here, but my experience is exactly the same as far as sleeve length. I find I am constantly pulling my shirt sleeves down to extend beyond the jacket. I was noticing this very thing today during a long meeting. A...

    Anyone know how to design logos

    I have heard good things about these guys. http://www.logoworks.com/ Depending on the package (i.e., price point) you select, you will get multiple designers submitting multiple concepts and you choose among them. Â Seems like a great idea to me. Scott

    The paraphenalia of modern living

    I did something similar about a year ago and have been much happier since. Â I picked up a Tumi wallet at Nordstom that has three slots on each side and a clip in the center to hold folded bills. Â It's thinner than any wallet I've ever had. Â Then I took out everything that I don't use almost...

    Poll: did you find this site via the nyt article?

    Hey, Gord, nice to see another familiar, er, face. Â I migrated over here quite a while ago, probably based on a mention by Hermes. Â It's as different here from the Men's Health forum as it is from the GQ forum from which I, like many others, ran screaming. Â Thanks again to "J" for starting this.

    Style and "the apprentice"

    OK, that's a funny article. And it has the flair of televisionwithoutpity.com, which the author happens to write for. It strikes me as a little bit of a look-how-clever-I-am article though. I am a big fan of the over-the-top Trump promotional vehicle masquerading as a reality show. The first...

    Feedback on steve's book

    Great idea. There are so many elements of suit construction that the average man does not understand and really have to be visualized. Like the different types of lapels and pockets. The stuff that the readers of this forum notice immediately, but most men are probably unaware of. Most of this...

    Undershirts: need cheap, long tail, vnecks.

    Tuck the undershirt into your underwear. That waistband will hold it better. Does anyone recommend a brand of undershirt with a lower v-neck? They all seem to be show under my open collar shirts. Scott

    Target's custom clothing program

    I was in Times Square during a recent visit and there was very prominent Target advertising all over one building. Â I wondered if they were building brand awareness in preparation for a permanent location. Â I do recall hearing about temporary Target locations in high-rent cities like NYC. Â In...

    Vital magazine

    I do, and I didn't. I just picked up Vitals impulsively at the bookstore and like it so far. Perhaps I was too hasty and I'll have to pass along a bonus issue to a sartorially-challenged coworker. But then, where to begin.... Scott

    40short opportunity?

    How does reweaving work?  Sounds dangerous to me.  Is it noticeable?  Does it require some kind of expert tailor? I noticed at the bottom of that listing that he says he added a "magnified" picture of the hole, yet I don't see it. The picture or the hole. Scott

    Brooks brothers shoes: which c&j grade?

    Would someone be so kind as to provide some background material on these shoes? I know nothing about Crockett and Jones and wonder what the issue is. Are Brooks Brothers shoes all of a certain lineage? Are they high quality or a good value? And did I miss a great sale? Thanks. Scott

    Travel suits

    Actually, spending less might get you a suit that "travels" better. Â A suit with a blend of synthetic/man-made fibers with wool should resist wrinkles much better that a 100% wool suit. Â But that's not what you want to hear in this forum. Â Take a look at the Brooks Brothers' BrooksCool...

    Raleigh, nc

    I live just outside Raleigh and do not find it to be terribly fashionable here. There are a couple of places you could check out which I found from Steve's website: Chockey's 1641 N. Market Dr. Nowell's 435 Daiels St. Norman Stockton Chapel Hill in Meadowmont Village 107 Meadowmont Village...
