    best suit movie / suit movies top 10?

    You saying the clothes are not great or are you saying you just don't like the film noir feel to the film? putting alan arkin in the 1930's style in a sci fi movie like just felt out of place to me.

    San Francisco Natives, Need Your Help

    another district in sf that used to be good for euro fashion was the corner of sutter and fillmore. e.g., pricey italian mens shoes that you had to have mutant feet to fit into.

    best suit movie / suit movies top 10?

    I am surprised no one has mentioned Gattaca. the big mistake with gattaca was putting all the detectives in 1930 style trenchcoats and snap brim hats when the setting was the future. a gimmick that did not work. http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2939260416/tt0119177

    San Francisco Natives, Need Your Help

    San Fran and Frisco are the best ways to make it clear you're not from SF. SF and San Francisco are the way to refer to it. Only wannabe New Yorkers and other new timers call it "the City" and it makes true San Franciscans cringe. Bullshit. These are pretentious arrivistes who love to find...

    Advice on style/color for first overcoat

    I'm looking to pick up my first overcoat and since I can only pick up one quality piece at this time was wondering what is the most versatile color and style for my SB 2-button blue and grey suits. After searching a bit I see that charcoal color is recomended, although I've seen some nice camel...

    My First Suit - looking for thoughts on style choices

    It looks like a pick and pick (fil a fil) to me. this looks a little too hopsacky for me. Hopsack is cheap and unassuming. Filthy rich people wear it when they want to look like ordinary people. Someone mentioned serge. I don't know much about it except that it is related to twill. I have...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part II

    true, but pinstripes also kick ass in most any situation-- pinstripes can look a bit mafioso. especially black stripes on white. but that may be exactly what some men want.

    Booze for the Holidays

    I've been commissioned to inebriate about 50 people for an upcoming Christmas party, so as usual I'm turning to you guys for ideas. I'm supposed to have some sort of eggnoggish thing and one other kind of punch, and I'd like to have a couple of good Christmas-y cocktails. Any good recipes for...

    My First Suit - looking for thoughts on style choices

    I'm looking into buying my first suit. I'm 6'3" 185lbs, athletic build. I'm looking for something current and stylish, but not to fashion-forward. It will probably be the only suit I own for the next several years, so it needs to work for all occasions and seasons. Currently I have no real need...

    getting frustrated with my tailor

    Seriously. The lower edge was ABOVE your thumbnail??? I mean, there's no coming back from that, man. You think you're making a joke but try going into a tailor with a coat that is too short and having it lowered. If you don't have any extra fabric, it can't be done. That's why a jacket should...

    getting frustrated with my tailor

    If there is a "senior member" of this forum who doesn't know the correct definition of troll, then that explains why the shoe styles featured here went stale 20 years ago.

    ever considered a revolution? many times. that would mean switching tailors, right?

    getting frustrated with my tailor

    I'm sorry, but maybe your tailor is as confused as I am now. considering the quality of the other responses on this thread, I can see why. Where did you want to have it exactly? Above the thumbnail? That would be correct in my book, at the first knuckle to be precise. I was originally told it...

    getting frustrated with my tailor

    One hopes you are capable of enough introspection to realize that switching tailors is not going to solve your "emotional rollercoaster" problem vis-a-vis the process of tailoring. one also would hope that you are capable of enough mental agility to realize that switching tailors might be...

    You have a rough life. Maybe time for suicide? you have a boring one. maybe time for ignore.

    does pigskin shoe lining eat socks?

    Answer 3: cheap socks wrong. If the shoe were eating the socks they would eat expensive socks just as they would cheap ones. The expensive socks might takes longer to wear out. But considering the cost difference, you might be losing more money buying expensive socks when the shoes were to...

    getting frustrated with my tailor

    I went to the second fitting for a suit and found the the lower edge of the jacket was above my thumbnail, where I had asked him to put it at the first fitting. At the third fitting, I just gave up and told him to make it 27 inches (from the floor) all around, hoping to take it to another...
