    Taking the Cordovan plunge...

    I've decided to give shell Cordovan's a shot and have narrowed it down to the Alden of Carmel Square Toe Norwegian and the RL Darlton Wingtip. Drastically different styles, but both are appropriate for my work environment. I'd go with the double outsole Alden's and not the Commando Soles. I...

    Coppley Apparel

    Any opinions on Coppley Apparel? I received an invitation to a MTM event at Mark Shale this week. I've been thinking about going the MTM route for the first time lately and my only options locally are BB, Hart Schaffner Marx at a Famous Barr, and maybe some higher end stuff at smaller shops. I...

    Suede Sportcoat Problem

    I wore my dark, chocolate brown suede sportcoat yesterday and noticed that areas on the jacket had started to "pill". By this I mean that short (quarter inch at best) "hairs" have started to pop up from the surface. Is there anyway to combat this problem and prevent this in...

    Tailor's in st. louis area

    I need to have some sportcoats altered to fit my "new" frame and don't have a clue re: tailors in the St. Louis area. Does anyone have any recommendations? A general tailor question as well: One of the jackets is an unlined RL model with some fairly intricate looking (sorry for the...

    Continuaton of french cuff...

    A timely topic... My wife and I had this discussion over the weekend, she on the yah, myself on the nay. Guess I've always thought of French Cuffs as suit only wear, but my wife is encouraging me to wear them more casually. So... when wearing them sans suit, what do you pair them with (jeans...

    Robert wayne shoes

    Ok... so no luck with Harry's London here in the Midwest, but I saw a line of shoes I haven't seen before. Anyone familiar with Robert Wayne shoes? They seem to be an alternative to Kenneth Cole / Reaction line of urban casual shoes I've been looking for. Didn't find much on the web... anyone...

    I know they've been mentioned before, but today's newsweek has a short article on Complex, Cargo, Vitals, Sync, etc... Looks like it's available online as well at (without pics): http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4121247/

    Speaking of custom shirts...

    Heard on NPR a few days back, that the partnership between Sears and Land's End isn't going as well as Sears had hoped. BUT that Land's End sales are up considerably, mostly due to the "custom" shirts and slacks offered at their web sites. So much so, that they are testing options in limited...

    Hugo boss quality

    OK, so I found a deal, but in terms of quality is it a good one? After a long search for a camel colored overcoat, I picked up a Hugo Boss cashmere tonight for $200 which the saleswoman at Mark Shale claimed originally retailed for either $1000 or $1200 (only thing left on the price tag was the...

    Clothes brush

    Thanks to AHarris on the corduroy care. I was able to restore the blazer using a heavy duty steamer, a cleaning brush, and some sweat equity. I picked up a horsehair/nylon 4inch brush from the cleaning section at Target. It seemed the least abbrasive of the lot, but stiff enough to work with...

    Sierra's shoe returns?

    Has anyone tested Sierra Trading Post's shoe return policy? I'm tempted to order a few pairs they have right now, but have been wary of ordering shoes via the web.

    Caring for corduroy?

    I have a fairly new RL wide wale cord blazer that needs some help. My son wiped some lunch on my sleeve so I mentioned off hand that I'll have to get the blazer cleaned. Sweetheart that she is, my wife decided to clean it for me... and threw it into the washer. It came out clean alright, but...
