Also, do you handwash your cotton blend socks as OP's socks suggested?

I found this a couple days ago at goodwill. I couldn't find anything in the brand on eBay, but popped on it for $5, because it was just so cool. A Google search brought up an Argentinian website for the brand, but it wasn't much help. Couldn't figure out if there was a webstore affiliated with the website or not either. Just trying to figure out if this is something special. To my amateur eye, it looks pretty bonkers. The shell is a patchwork cotton sweater. It's fully lined. Full zip. Do I have something here??
Buying a crocodile wallet from Kent Wang. They have the four wallets below available. I am so confused. I sort of want brown color so favor the bottom left. But I think the best scale is the top right which is only in black.
Why is the gap so big between the scales on the bottom left?
What is the best scale?
Ok, here's a question. I bought some dark blue cotton blend socks at Brooks Brothers the other day. After getting home, I noticed the care instructions read, "Hand wash in cold water. Lay flat to dry." How can that be for real? Is that for real? Hypothetically, what might happen if I pretended that I'm a reasonable person in the ownership of reasonable socks, and just threw them in with the darks?
Furthermore, WTF?
Thank you for your time.

Are they 100% wool? I got several BB socks at their outlet sale and I actually wash all of them by hand and hang dry them. If you don't they will quickly start to "nap" and wear quickly. If you have several pair it's actually not hard to put them all in the wash sink and clean them at once. Take about 15 minutes for a dozen pair.
Depends, price wise is it a great steal?I am a hard size to fit. I recently came upon a tux jacket on eBay that looks pretty great and will fit me. It does not, however, come with pants.
Is it a fool's errand to buy this jacket and then hunt for pants that match? I recall seeing a post on Put This On about a guy that succeeded in this approach but I fear I would struggle to find a perfectly matching shade of black.

I refer you here for Q2 http://www.styleforum.net/t/51431/can-lapel-widths-be-trimmed2 questions:
How many pairs of trousers should I buy with my suits?
How easy is it for a tailor to slim lapels on suit jackets?
Situation:
I have 3 suits, I'm starting a job where I'll be wearing them daily. I have a cheap but well fitting black suit with 2 pairs of trousers, another suit I got in the Christmas sales with one pair of trousers, and an expensive (for me) charcoal suit with one pair of trousers. I think I should get a second pair of trousers for it, because I think they're likely to get dirty before the jacket, but it's hard to justify spending £150 on a pair of trousers at the moment. Do I need more trousers or am I mistaken?
