    Can sleeves of quilted jackets be tailored?

    Hi all, I'm a bit frustrated on sizing for jackets. I tend to fall between a small and medium (5'9/160lbs/38" chest). While I can usually size up and layer with a medium jacket, the main problem is the sleeves. I need a 32-33" sleeve, but almost every medium out there is a 34-35" sleeve which...

    Rubber heel plates for shoes instead of plastic?

    Hi all, I tend to wear down the outer edges of my shoes VERY quickly, and have been using the plastic heel plates on the outside edges to prevent this. However, I can't stand them. (1) They make a lot of noise, and (2) I find them really slippery for the break-in period, and have actually...

    Senior product manager caught in middle-management hell - not sure what to do next

    Hi all, TL;DR: Senior level product management generalist can't decide if he should go a more technical route, an MBA/more business-y route, or take a shot at starting his own thing (but feels he has no advanced skills and no ideas). I don't have a formal CS degree, but rather an engineering...

    Help with proper shoe fit + poll

    So, I've been struggling to find the right shoe fit for me, particular with AE's. According to the brannock, I'm a pretty spot-on 9D. However, I'm having issues with fitting any AE. Generally, they all run a bit narrow and long on me (as the last indicated). 9D = feels slightly too long, width...

    AE McAllister (balmoral) vs AE Players (blucher) with jeans + blazer?

    Which of these would you go with for wear with slim, dark jeans and a blazer? I like the extra broguing of the McAllister near the tongue (see top view), but I feel the lacing style of the Player's shoe is a bit more casual and might work better with jeans: McAllister - more formal lacing I...

    270 vs 360 degree welt (allen edmonds)

    Hi all, I'm looking at a few pairs of Allen Edmonds, and am considering their slightly less expensive line which seems to use a 270deg welt vs. 360deg welt. (For example, the AE Van Ness vs. AE Fifth Avenue). Is there much difference between these, or not worth worrying about it?

    Navy blazer + which pants?

    I'm a little torn on which pants to wear with a navy blazer in semi -formal situations where a suit would be overkill. For more casual situations, I simply where dark denim. What about the in between areas? A few thoughts: Navy - obviously out Grey - I am leaning towards this, but many feel...
