Looks like a nice last and good dark suede colour - can't really go wrong.

Was thinking the same. Would be nice with a pair of khaki pants in beige or something, right?

jeans too!

HAHA!  Steve, I just realised,these shoes are on YOUR post!  

I appreciate the exposure. If you are referring to the Algonquins, I think those are C&J.

Only if you're into the gangster look. Otherwise, a definite No.

Hey Everyone,

First post here.

I'm looking for a 3 button cardigan like in this combo here. Any ideas/suggestions. Am I even using the correct terminology?

^I think that's probably a vest, and looks like a unique piece from the designer. Certainly not a generic type of garment I've seen before. The one on top would be an irish fisherman's sweater in cardigan form.

Do you know where the picture came from?

Good pair of shoes.

Thanks for the reply, that's a shame.

It's in my lookbook folder. I'm pretty sure it originated from The Satorialist, though I can't find it now.

Well I'm about to pull the trigger on some MTM shirts from modertailor.com. I have a shirt that fits me very well that can be used for the measurements. It seems that there is a gerneral consesus that measurung a well fitting shirt gives better results than body measurments. However, I did have a tailor take my measurements just in case. That being said, which option should I go with, shirt measurements or body?

Shirt and tweak it to your preference.

Cool. Thanks Yika.

I recently picked up a pair of light colored Olebar Brown setters. Of course, I'm a complete idiot and stained them the first time I wore them. Does anyone have any tips for removing grease stains from nylon/polyamide?

There are many from which to choose, with the "best" being dependent on the situation, neck/face size, collar type, tie material, tie length, tie width, torso length, and various other factors.
The most common knot (probably by far) is the four-in-hand; I venture to suggest that it's the only tie knot most men even know.
I often tie a half-Windsor knot, which is a little larger than the four-in-hand, but not so large as the full Windsor, and it yields a symmetrical, triangular knot shape which I generally find rather pleasing.
You can easily research various tie knots online, and even find youtube videos on how to tie most of them.

Take this with a grain of salt on account of my lack of experience, but I find the half windsor to be most versatile. Size wise, and also because of its symmetry. How wide the opening of the collar on your shirt and tie material seem to be the biggest deciding factors on knot selection.

I meant to respond to the original post... so new.

Hmm, looking at that in a larger size I'm not even convinced it's a knit. In fact, I'm pretty convinced it isn't- it looks like tweed to me. Vest, or maybe even an unstructured jacket, but wearing the sweater over it wouldn't seem to make much sense. More plausible than wearing two rough knits layered, anyway. Ever try to put a sweater on over a corduroy shirt? It would be impossible to actually put the second sweater on. Hard, but possible with a tweed jacket, though it wouldn't make much sense to me.
