If you could only own one pair of suspenders/braces, what would it be?
I would say that navy grosgrain with silver hardware and either black or dark brown leather fastenings would be the most versatile, though also a little on the dull side. I have navy, and taupe, and burgundy (all conservative options), but I also enjoy yellow, and fuchsia, and striped or...- thebarbaron

I tried out Joseph A Bank's new MTM and this is what happened
That's not quite accurate; just like JAB, Men's Wearhouse has two (technically three) MTM lines: 1) "JOE"/"1905" - fused, made in China, a selection of basic wools in basic colors for around $400 for a suit. 2) "Joseph Abboud"/"Reserve"- made in New Bedford, MA, half-canvassed, using all...- thebarbaron

Any high-end luxury shirts that don't crease/wrinkle easily?
Fabric choice is definitely the one (and possibly only) relevant variable for you; a heavier weight twill or oxford is going to wrinkle far less noticeably than a lightweight broadcloth/poplin. I do find that my more expensive shirt fabrics (Thomas Mason or Albini) behave a tad better than their...- thebarbaron

Introduce yourself.
While I've technically been a member for several years now, I've only recently become active again, so I decided to re-introduce myself. I'm Vincent, and I live in Charlottesville, Virginia. I'm in my mid-30s, expecting my first spawn in the next couple of weeks, and when not obsessing over all...- thebarbaron

NYC Earthquake
I'm thinking of having my oldest and worst charcoal pinstripe suit modified to be a tearaway model. When the hurricane hits full force, I want to be able to go from elegance to naked anarchy with no time wasted.- thebarbaron

people who ***** about tipping are scum?
Interesting thread to wade through. I worked a short time in food service, more counter service, some food running and wine bar/coffee shop stuff. Many of my friends and coworkers have waited tables (a few in very high-end fine dining, most in average family night out restaurants), and I've been...- thebarbaron

NYC Earthquake
I'm in Charlottesville, VA, about 30 miles from the epicenter in Mineral. Luckily, looks like very little damage in the CVille or Richmond areas. There were a few damaged or destroyed buildings closer to the epicenter in Louisa county, and the aftershocks broke some windows, lamps, etc. at the...- thebarbaron

reasons to use braces?
I don't understand all the stigma around clip-on suspenders, I only wear mine under a waistcoat or sweater anyway so no-one ever sees them. If you're wearing them just over a shirt I can understand the clips are unsightly but when people start getting all up in arms over something deliberately...- thebarbaron

Summer Style in the deep south?
Even in other parts of the south, the dandy is resurging. I'm in Virginia (more rural/suburban, less DC), and I get down to the Carolinas and Georgia frequently. Seersucker is always popular; white bucks are a nice detail that gives you an edge but not necessary. Lots of tan/cream linen...- thebarbaron

Wedding party etiquette - can I use my own tux?
As both a caveat and a new perspective, I will admit upfront that I work for the MW and see this conundrum about twice a week. While there is a chance that just wearing your RLPL dinner clothes would go unnoticed, ethically it's a bit dubious. I always try to encourage brides and grooms to a)...- thebarbaron
