    Need denim help in Boston

    I don't know if you're messing around or not, but there are a bunch of threads about denim here. Just search a bit, browse some and you'll pick up on it. To sum it up: color, fit, construction, details, denim quality, general aesthetic, and then you have the whole raw jeans thing that fade...

    Need denim help in Boston

    If it is perfect for you, then don't bother getting anything. You are lucky and have found something many of us here spend a lot of time and money trying to find. You are lucky that your perfect fit is a pretty inexpensive jean! Still I would the education on what other people are looking for...

    Need denim help in Boston

    Can someone explain to me what I would get from buying expensive designer jeans that I don't get from a good pair of Levi's or Lee's? Maybe I am just too cheap but in terms of color I think the various shades of Lee's blue is better than anything I have seen from other makers and the regular fit...

    sizing pants vs jeans, shoes vs dress boots

    Some please explain to me why my size is different if I buy pants or jeans. I normally wear a size 32x32 dress pants or chinos, but when I buy jeans I wear a 32x34. This is outside of any shrinkage. I know I don't grow 2 inches everytime I put on jeans so what is the right answer? The same...

    Women on Men's clothing forum

    I think we need a new MB on the StyleForum entitled "Women on Men's Clothing." Where we can ask what women like to see on men and why. I normally pick clothes I like but would be willing to make small adjustments to my wardrobe if it would attract more women. So I would appreciate having a MB...

    Boston shopping and sales

    I am going to be in Boston Thursday with very limited shopping time. I was wondering if anyone in the area could let me know which stores are worth visiting (ie - still have sales on.) At minimum, I was planning to go to Filenes, Louis Boston and Aquascutum. Thanks in advance. I don't know of...

    How can I get rid of GQ

    I would just call their subscription 800 number listed on the Mast head page or on their website and ask the CS to cancel your subscription and credit your credit card with the balance of your subscription. I find the phone syill works best in these issues.

    Will you be willing to wear any of these Kiton pieces ?

    I'd definitely wear the first salmon jacket, and the color of the olive/tan is not bad, though I'm not thrilled with the cut. The others are quite bad, but that's trends for you. What do you dislike about the cut of the olive sportcoat. I see nothing wrong with it. I don't like 3 button jackets...

    What's your color scheme?

    Here's a question, what are your "Colors?" Where on the color chart does the majority of your clothes fall on? Are you a "Winter," "Spring" "Summer" or "Autumn/Fall?" I guess you can say I'm into Earth Tones - or an "Autumn." Most of what I wear are browns, reds, gold, some shades of green...

    Odd jacket with glen plaid trousers?

    I have a black camel hair jacket that I typically pair with my heavy weight glen plaid trousers. I want to try a black silk polo collared sweater with them though. Can the black sweater and jacket work together? Should I simply get a black fedora too and travel with Michael Corleone? The...

    Collar nub?

    Yes that is what I saw. So is it for less formal sportcoats? Is there anything else I should know about jackets with this throat latch?

    Collar nub?

    I have seen a few sports coats recently that on one side of the notch collar there is a small nub of fabric with a button hole sewn in it. I have seen this before but what is the "official" term for this piece of fabric? I assume a jacket with this nub of fabric is less formal than one without...

    Reuters Says - No Brown Shoes !?

    I was not aware that breast pocket connotes casual shirt. Yes isn't this strange? For most of my life the only shirt I owned that did not have a breast pocket was my tuxedo shirt (and my T-shirts). But in the last few years the "fancy" shirt, that is the shirt that is taking the place of the...

    Reuters Says - No Brown Shoes !?

    I think the brown shoe issue is a symbol of most of the English style and attitude. As I believe I read in Flusser, the English dress to send the message that I am like you. We are from similar backgrounds and have similar goals. While the Italian look is more flamboyant and individualistic it...

    Reuters Says - No Brown Shoes !?

    When it comes to finances I want the fellow who can safely make my investments grow. I don't care if he is wearing a suit or a dress or a potato sack.

    Roma Roma Roma

    If you could only visit one city, Rome or Naples, to purchase clothing which would you chose? Why? What is the difference in styling, cut between the two cities?

    Classic Style magazine

    About time we had a decent Men's fashion and style magazine rather than those mags that cover everything but men" s fashion and just throw in the odd article once in a while.

    New Borrelli suit - does it need shortening? (pics)

    I love patterns like the one on the suit. They are my weakness. When I see one I buy it I just can't resist.

    New Borrelli suit - does it need shortening? (pics)

    I think the suit looks much better now that it has been shortened. I am surprised at how much the tie and pocket square makes the pattern stand out. The difference in the two pictures is remarkable. The only question I have is on the length of the left sleeve. I can't tell if it is a tad too...
