    Recommendations for solid navy suiting

    I am considering having a staple navy suit made up and would like recommendations for fine navy cloth. I think the Lanifio Drago fabric on the No Man Walks Alone Formosa birdseye suit is perfect. But for quirks in my sizing, I would own that one. Since I'm planning to go custom, I thought I'd...

    New Ralph Lauren sport coat misaligned sleeve? Normal variance or send it back?

    I received this Ralph Lauren sport coat yesterday. It appears that the left sleeve is a little "off" with respect to the pattern matching as compared to the right. (See top of each sleeve) I've seen some slight variance with respect to OTR coats, though this appears to catch the eye quickly on...

    G&G shoe dilemma

    A while back, I ordered a pair of G&G Wigmore boots with dainite soles. I ordered the dainite soles because I intended to make heavy use of them during the winter rainy season. Not long ago, my boots arrived as ordered, except they came with the leather oak bark sole instead of the dainite. As a...

    Returned from a week in Paris

    I returned recently from a week in Paris with the wife. We enjoyed some great weather and hospitality and we look forward to our next trip. Though my focus was food, in between cafe and restaurant stops, the wife and I did manage to get in a little shopping: Carmina on L'Opera was one of my...

    SF/Bay Area members Gaziano and Girling Trunk Show

    Stopped by Wilkes Bashford in SF yesterday. They now have a few pairs of Gaziano and Girling styles on display. I was told WB began stocking them about 4-5 weeks ago. I was also told that Gaziano will be visiting April 14, 15 and 16 for a trunk show. Should be a nice event for those like me who...

    Wilkes Bashford Sale in SF -- picked up a couple of Gravatis

    Wilkes Bashford is quickly becoming my favorite store in the bay area for quality clothing and shoe shopping. So far this year, I've bought an E. Zegna suit, a pair of cap toe Bontonis, and now 3 pairs of Gravatis -- black slip on loafers, brown wingtips, and a pair of pretty trick brown suede...

    Picked up some Japanese made suede chukkas in Tokyo

    For those who haven't visited, the basement floor of the Isetan mall is unlike any men's shoe section I've ever seen. Shoe Appreciation dream. Anyhow, the yen is destroying the dollar right now, so I took the opportunity to pick up a cost conscious pair of Union Imperial Japanese made Chukkas with...

    SF/Bay Area members -- where to find Saphir or other quality shoe products?

    Does everyone order their shoe care supplies (e.g., cream, polish, brushes, waxes etc) online? Or is anyone aware of local stores that I can visit? I am tempted to pick up some creams at Allen Edmonds in Union Square. Any local favorites or is online the way to go?

    My new Bontoni shoes; perhaps to be my wedding shoes? (with pics)

    I'm getting married soon and visited Wilkes Bashford not too long ago to pick up my suit and a pair of chocolate Gravati wingtips to wear on wedding day. I loved these so much that I bought them too, and, as you can tell by the creases, I've been wearing them a lot around the house in an effort...

    HELP -- Having trouble finding new suit for athletic build

    Hi guys, I'm getting married in early October. I've been looking for a new suit and I am having trouble finding an OTR suit that at least gets close to my proportions so that I can have a tailor work his magic for final fitting. The problem is that I am a 42" coat and a 32/33&quot...

    Ralph Lauren Tameron shoes -- should I buy these?

    I was at the mall on Saturday and saw these on sale at the Ralph Lauren store. I'm headed to vacation next week and they look like they will be a great set of casual-dress shoes to wear with a nice pair of jeans to dinners in the evening. I've never owned any Ralph Lauren shoes, but I kind of...
