    http://i.imgur.com/zczD0.png does anyone know what kind of suit this is? would you say this is an off the rack brand name or a made to measure? I assume since it's the Prime Minister it's tailored but you never know... either way I think it looks very nice thanks

    Prestige knifemaking regions of the world?

    how practical are those very curvy swords (like in real fight)? It doesn't seem like you can thrust or chop in the ways of the katana. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scimitar apparently they were primarily used on horseback where the light weight of the sword was a major advantage. some of...

    Silk Valentino Blazer advice needed

    http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/ca...0%2526st%253Ds I really like this jacket and am considering buying it, but ever since being exposed to the world of styleforum and ebay I've become suspicious of all retail prices.

    casual clothing and ebay

    Hello, I know ebay has amazing deals for suits and blazers but from my brief experience it seems that casual clothing is not as prevalent. Is this true? can you find, for example, an $800 cardigan for $200, or something like that, on ebay? any thoughts are appreciated.

    Question about EBay suits

    thanks for the speedy reply. your excellent track record with not getting knock offs is reassuring. is armani considered one of the more likely knock off brands? which other ones would be likely? also, would you avoid armani even if the feedback is excellent? thanks again.

    question about Tom Ford suit

    Hello, There is a Tom Ford suit, linked below, which may be available for me to purchase for $1500 USD. The original retail price is about $4000. There is one slight problem: the suit is too big. I heard Tom Ford sizes are a little different than the standard but this is pretty huge. The suit...
