    Fabric weight, body temperature, and environment balance in NYC

    So it sounds like we're all in the same boat. I did the shorts-on-the-commute-change-in-the-office thing last summer. This definitely narrows my focus regarding future trouser/shirt/suiting purchases: summer-weight everything and layer when necessary. Prevents closet space from ever being an...

    Fabric weight, body temperature, and environment balance in NYC

    Figured this was worth more of a discussion than "quick question" and did some searching but couldn't find anything this specific. How do you balance the heat or cold outside with whatever temperature it is in your work environment (or train/subway)? I've been favoring linen even now with some...

    First Splurge! ON a shell cordovan wallet! (Advice etc)

    I'm a fan of the 2 wallet method. Card case for cards, billfold for bills. both as slim as possible to keep from accumulating junk. Leffot Fold for bills (daily use for about a year, the cordovan has aged really well, I use mine inside-out, so the silver stamp can be seen without having to open...

    Advantages of a $1000 Pair of Shoes

    As someone with 2 pairs of EGs (purchased from Leffot), I can honestly say that females swoon at least 50% more when I wear them than when I wear my AEs.

    Male clothes for the gym

    Plain white Hanes tagless wifebeater - worn as an undershirt from 6AM-8PM. I work out at 8PM. No reason to soil 2 shirts, right? - best range of motion, breathability Black underarmour ankle socks - anti-microbial, don't stretch, have yet to get a hole in them Navy above the knee underarmour...

    I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.

    Need help! Had a pair of APC NS 29, fit great. Started working out/eating for size, balls/thighs felt like a midget was squeezing them. Sized up to 31. Was fine for ~1 month but I'm not done eating, so the vice grip has returned. The problem: waist remains same, stomach got fat, thighs and...

    Commuting to Work Wearing Expensive Shoes

    1.5hr commute for me to NYC (LIRR+15 minute walk). Sometimes walking 15 minutes to and from client sites. I have the luxury of working in a casual office, and am able to store my suits and shoes for when I have to pop up to the clients, or we have a meeting in the office. I agree that shoes...

    Average Person Suit Fit

    Second, if you are in the 40% that would benefit from nice clothing, how many people do you know who would buy say 4 RLBL suits for $6,400 when they can get 4 suits from Men's Warehouse for $600. That $5,800 can pay for a bunch of different things.... Prioritizing is the name of the game for me...

    How does one successfully wear red pants?

    Thanks for the ideas. I couldn't visualize a blue shirt with them, but now I see it is definitely workable.

    How does one successfully wear red pants?

    I recently purchased a pair of red chinos (not quite as faded as nantucket red, but not firetruck red) for cheap and had them tapered to fit my chicken legs. What the hell does one wear with these? I stupidly decided to wear a yellow shirt... Certainly not the smartest thing in the world...

    The definitive New York alternation tailors thread

    Just dropped off three pairs of pants at Dynasty (they're 20 steps from my office, 38th just off 5th). First alteration experience anywhere, so we'll see how it goes. Click spoiler to see the work I'm getting done and prices (not sure if there is some rule against showing them outright): 1) Pair...

    PSA: De Corato Sample Sale; Borrelli 7-fold ties $50 each

    I definitely didn't see any cashmere though there was one interesting wool skinny tie that looked like someone took a holiday sweater and chopped it up and made a tie out of it. Only solid I saw was an ugly red one. That said, the De Corato retail store had some incredibly nice cashmere ties..

    PSA: De Corato Sample Sale; Borrelli 7-fold ties $50 each

    Just checked it out. Theres De Corato branded shirts/pants/SCs (all 70% off. Dress shirts were $385 retail), along with the Borelli ties @ 50$ plus some Borelli shirts ($425 @ 80% off). Also another brand with some sweaters/pants/SCs at 80% off. The tie selection was pretty solid as of 11AM...

    Wheretobuy "electric blue" pants?

    Thanks gentlemen, I'll try Daffy's and Uniqlo first, then work my way out.

    Wheretobuy "electric blue" pants?

    Seen via Leffot (the chukka is the Barrow, their house model). To what lengths am I going to have to go to get a pair of these? That color is brilliant!

    wearing vests with jeans is that a crime?

    I'm a fan of Matt Bomer's style, both on and off White Collar. I don't think this is a 100% win, but its significantly better than Bieber.

    Shoe Damage Report & Shoe P0rn Central - Part II

    Just took delivery on my EG trunk show order from Leffot. Asquith in Dark Oak, 888 last, 8C. First real pair of shoes, second pair of dress shoes in my newly started rotation (first are AE Fifth Ave in black). Definitely addicted, and as everyone knows, Steven is incredibly nice and super...

    Steven mentioned this when I went in yesterday to pick up my EG trunk show order. I had no idea what he was talking about. Looking forward to it!

    New Sam Hober ties

    Thanks for the response David. I posted here because I didn't want to bother you LOL. I look forward to the pictures of the process in the future. I'll see if I can do the heart surgery on my own until then.

    New Sam Hober ties

    Snagged my first grenadine from him a month ago. Best tie I own. Anybody have any tips on fixing/avoiding pulls? I didn't think it would be an issue but its surprising how GLARINGLY obvious the small one I got is.
