Quick question:
What is the most you can shorten on a sleeve of a blazer/sport coat?
I think I need to shorten around 3 inches. It has a working cuff.
Thanks in advance
I would say a navy grenadine, black knit, and maybe a repp stripe tie with some navy and silver would be nice. I would go with barrel cuffs.What should be my first 2-3 ties to be wore in an architect/interior design firm/office? Looking at a navy grenadine and a black+navy silk knit tie. Would those be appropriate for the setting? Most likely going to be wearing these with a spread collar shirt. Also, french cuff or barrel cuff? Thanks!

A solid navy grenadine would be fine, if that's what you like.Looking at a navy grenadine and a black+navy silk knit tie.
The ones I mentioned would be appropriate in most settings where the wearing of a necktie is appropriate.Would those be appropriate for the setting?
While I like silk knit ties well enough, I find that their relative casualness (by tie standards) means they work best with buttondown collar shirts (these being casual shirts, by dress shirt standards). I acknowledge that some people dislike the idea of wearing buttondown collar shirts with suits. I don't entirely agree, although I do recognize that with some suits and in some situations a more formal dress shirt can be a much better choice. Still, something you may wish to keep in mind.Most likely going to be wearing these with a spread collar shirt.
I wear both, with that morning's choice dependent on exactly what else it is I'll be wearing, the situations in which I expect to find myself over the course of the day, and mostly my mood. (My choice of socks is made in largely similar fashion.)Also, french cuff or barrel cuff?
samhober.com^ Thank you for the in-depth answer(s) to my question(s).
Appreciate it.
A navy grenadine is probably going to my first choice for tie.
Somebodys gotta have a clue!
I don't know I actually like the smell. It's never been overbearing though, but then again I've never slathered it on.Regarding two pairs of shoes:
1. I slathered this first pair with Saphir conditioner and wax and now it stinks of turpentine. I've had people move away from me on the bus and its never happened before I started wearing these shoes. Has anybody else experienced this? (warm weather + turpentine smell)
2. My second pair smells like leather and dye. I expect similar results...
What can I do to minimize the turpentine and leather dye smell.
DudeI'm selling a 7-fold navy grenadine, link in sig, if you're interested shoot me a PM
