    RANCOURT & Co. Shoes - Made in Maine

    I'm really loving the Camp-moc, Ranger Moc and Beefroll Penny and I know I should get all three but I have really high instep and have my doubts about the Camp-moc and the Beefroll working for me. Will they? I have a pair of 9.5E Alden LHS and they're just too tight across the vamp. I'm a...

    Ask me about Eyewear!

    Lens question: I have a low distance Rx and a low add (+1). My glasses are pretty shallow....typically around 32mm. I hate having to take my glasses off to read so I had a pair of progressives made (Essilor...dunno which model). Took a while to get used to it but now that I have, I find that...

    Ask me about Eyewear!

    What brands (hopefully available online) should I be looking at if I need wider glasses? I typically wear 56 and up. I'm currently using a pair of acetate Hugo Boss glasses but they pretty quickly discolor due to sweat. What material should I be looking at to avoid this? I typically wear...

    I see what you mean about the similar patterns. However, the shirt is a light blue. I'd describe it as an ice blue....i guess the pictures don't show the color well.....

    dunhill pen or mont blanc pen?

    If you want real baller, go with a Nakaya Maki-e. Hand-made and amazing finishing. As a writing instrument, you can't go wrong with a Pelikan or a Lamy.

    Are my jacket sleeves too long or are my shirt sleeves too short??

    I would say both. Your shirt sleeve should end right about where your jacket sleeve is now.

    New suit from Y William Yu

    Here's a better picture: It seems that I wasn't careful about the sleeves in the first set of pics. They're even in length as can be seen in this pic. Are they showing too much sleeve?? I see the problem with the length of the jacket. Could probably use another 1-1/2 inches in length. Same...

    New suit from Y William Yu

    I recently got this suit from Y William Yu. Material is a charcoal Minnis Fresco. I went with a half-lined three-piece, 3r2. I gave William input for some details I wanted but otherwise let him decide what to do. Is the buttoning point too high?? Sleeves too short?? What do you guys think?

    Crockett and Jones Group Buy Thread - choose your width and size

    Yes I did let them know that I was participating in the styleforum group buy. She never heard of it. I thought that since there were eight others who've expressed interest in the Lowndes in brown calf, someone must have called in ahead of me. Let us know how your visit goes. I'll try calling...

    Help: Need recommendation for a bespoke/MTM tailor in Manila, Phillipines

    If you're totally closed to the idea of getting suits in HK, have your buddy consider barongs. They're even more elegant, climate-appropriate and something we can do well. What's the problem with HK? In terms of cost, the suits are basically a wash. You would only really be paying for tickets...

    Help: Need recommendation for a bespoke/MTM tailor in Manila, Phillipines

    Head on over to Hong Kong, get measured first thing at WWChan/Y William Yu/Gordon Yao/Lee Baron, go back for the basted fitting the next day, take the ferry to Macau for a mind-blowing three-day bachelor party then head back to HK for a second fitting. If some adjustments are needed, they will...

    Similar watch to this but smaller?

    When you want a smaller watch, go vintage. I'm thinking vintage Omega Seamaster, Geneve, or Constellation; vintage Vacheron, Patek, Longines, Hamilton, Gruen, Rolex Cellini, etc.
