Best options for a flannel to pair with this tweed?

Thanks.

Is a 4 inch shoe horn good enough for an ankle boot? I assume so, since the shoe horn is not intended to touch the insole.

Try putting the boots on with it. If your feet go in, it's good enough.

Hey, I'm considering using a laundry service regularly once I move. I enquired and they say they machine wash them then put them in a machine to have them steam dried and pressed. I understand that using the drying machine at home is bad for clothes, does the process at a laundry service better, or similarly bad for cotton dress shirts? The thing is I don't really have too much time to iron all my shirts, so alternatively I was thinking about just doing what I usually do travelling anyway, hand washing while showering (is this weird? I've heard of at least 1 other person on these forums who does that), let it hang dry, and then perhaps getting an ironing service. I actually have enough shirts that I can save up several weeks of shirts and have it done in one go.

Alternatively I was just going to let it hang dry and wear it, I mean, it's generally not that wrinkled afterwards anyway, but I don't know if that's kind of bad. It's just what I used to do when living out of hotels, and didn't want to pay for dry cleaning.

Anyone?

Found a great deal on this Leather Jacket during a Black Friday Sale. A small seemed to fit too snug so I got a medium, but the arm's seem a little baggy. Can't return it, so it's wear it or store it. But, regardless, I want to know your guys' opinion on how it fits? Does it fit acceptable, too big, decent, etc.

^ can't see anything in the body from the pic, but the sleeves are obviously way too long.

The suits and ties in the photos look great. As to the shirt question, please remember that you are a member of the wedding party and a wedding day is the bride's day. Period. Anything which distracts everyone's attention from her will be frowned upon. I'd wear a white shirt or a very pale blue shirt (just enough to pick up the tie, but not enough to overwhelm it.) If you have to, or if the others in the party are also likely to be a little forward in their style, I like the check shirt best. The outfit in the first photo would be great for an afternoon wedding, if you weren't in the bridal party.

Does anybody know where I can get AE waterproofing spray in Canada? It cannot be purchased on American sites due to shipping restrictions on aerosol cans.

I know Harry Rosen sells Allen Edmonds shoe care accessories such as polish. So maybe they have it.

Danier also sells leather care products, but all Danier branded, I think.

What are some good sites that carry Nudie Jeans in a wide selection? I want another Thinn Finn (I think that's what they're called?). I have a pair in dark indigo and really like the fit.I want another pair in a different shade of blue.

Hi, I'm having a job interview next week and was thinking on wearing navy trousers, black oxfords, white shirt and black skinny necktie, perhaps a black wool blazer cos it's cold. Any comments would that be an appropriate combo for the ocation

You need to provide a generic description on the position, company, etc. If interviewing for a business role, anything shy of a suit is unacceptable.

Would you consider this to be too large of a fit?

 

[ImTheGroom]

^^^ I don't think so. Obviously very casual, and I think it's meant to have that rumpled look on the sleeves, based on the fact that the bodice is the correct length. It could be argued that the shoulders should be a little narrower, the bodice a little shorter, and the sleeves much much shorter, but, again, I think this particular jacket is meant to look a bit haphazard, so really precise and perfect tailoring would actually look out of place. So it comes down to whether you like this look. I think the deep-plunging v-neck T takes it over the line into douchebaggery, personally.

Would you consider this to be too large of a fit?

Yes, I would definitely consider that too large. Especially the right sleeve simply looks weird to me. But then again, this is not an outfit/style I would wear, so maybe I am mistaken. Might be a better question for the streetwear and denim section?
