    Tuxedo Shirt Style Opinions

    I'm starting my tuxedo ensemble for my wedding. As for the tuxedo itself, I'm deciding ***************, wide peak lapel tuxedo by either Tom Ford or Franco Ercole (while Tom Ford is more than I wanted to spend, it's ready made and fits well, and doesn't require a few trips to New York). Anyway...

    Hiding Deficiencies and Creating Shape with Tailoring

    I came across this photo of a 90 year old man in a suit that gives him a much more youthful, masculine shape in spite of his age and size. I was quite impressed with how the tailoring of the shoulders and chest can really make a big difference...

    In a time pickle.... Tuxedo alternative?

    I was just notified that I'm going to a "ball" in a couple of weeks but I don't own a tuxedo. I'd prefer to find a nice tuxedo on sale, however, as a 38L, I will not be able to find one. Very few nice brands that I could find off the rack will fit me (Ralph Lauren Black Label and Purple Label)...

    Exchangeable/Convertible Button Sport Coat (Vox Related)

    Vox posted this picture with a caption about buttons that convert. I always thought that something like this would be possible and a good idea, but I had never seen it. Has anyone done this? Do you just put buttonholes (possible tighter) on the other button-side of the regular placement of...

    So Jaguar will be releasing a new car in the upcoming year. It will first be in convertible and later in coupe form. It is meant to be a two seater sports car a notch smaller than the XK, possibly competing with the Boxster/Cayman. There are only spy photos of camouflaged versions of the car...

    Let's Talk About Pants: Cut, Fit, Style for Different Occasions

    Over the past year I've been trying to develop a cut, fit, and style of pants that work for me universally, but I think it truly depends on the occasion. I find high rise that sit on my waist with pleats most comfortable, but sometimes look too full up top. I find short/medium rise with no...

    Hughes Low Custom Alligator Wallet Review

    I recently purchased some goods from Hughes so I thought I'd write a review. I ordered a custom Alligator Card-Case Wallet. I could have gone with a traditional card case, but I think it looks more elegant when the cards aren’t exposed until you open the wallet. So I asked him to design one...
