Can anyone recommend me a place in Houston to buy a tuxedo shirt? I know of the typical NM but I was hoping to avoid paying for name brand. I need it for saturday night so recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

So you want affordable non-namebrand tux shirt? Have you tried Nordstrom Rack?

Yes, I care for quality over name brand. (that does make sense right?) I will take a look, any other recommendations? Do you have a broad idea of what I should be expecting to pay?

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a fabric as close as possible to the color shown in the picture below. Looks like a really light silvery grey. any ideas? also considering other alternatives.. My main concern is the heat and humidity in Singapore, so looking for a 8-9oz fabric

Thank you!

What do you think of this BB Black fleece jacket? I'm thinking of getting the Navy one, but can see the details better on the khaki picture.

No...just no...

Why? I'd wear it as a coat or windbreaker in light climates.

I have only recently started to build a wardrobe from scratch, and as this is the first time I've really cared about what I'm wearing, I need some help to point me in the right direction.

First quick question: I'm wearing mostly dark and black jeans (occationaly gray jeans and beige chinos), and want to buy a pair of shoes and an outdoor jacket (probably a pea coat) for the winter. What color combinations would work well, and what should I avoid when buying said items? 

sterling wear of boston has the best assortment of sizes and linings.

Can anyone recommend a cheap v-neck undershirt that's long enough to stay tucked in? Can't stand the muffin top effect that happens when my undershirt comes untucked underneath my outer shirt.

try hanes v necks.

J Crew, Uniqlo will have something like this once it stocks for the new season

The Allen Edmonds, Kenilworth is a great looking shoe for its price point. Especially with It's burnished tip, might be found cheaper during their black Friday sale.

Oh damn, those are gorgeous. I looked on Amazon and they had it for 25% off - $210 and only had one left in my size in Brown. Ordered.

Good choice/deal?

Oh man, those are awesome! I looked on amazon and they had one Brown pair left in my size at 25% off ($210) so I ordered it. Good deal/choice?

Also, is the sizing right? Size 9 fits me on sneakers and pretty much everything I've ever tried, except for Clarks, where 8s fits me. I was told that dress shoes are supposed to be a half size smaller since you wear thinner socks, but the ones I've owned (cheaper ones) always fit as a 9.

I don't know what last those are on but I sized the same for my McAllisters as Clarks DBs.
