I use Wurkin Stiffs. Metal collar stays with magnets to hold your collars down. Here's a link: http://www.wurkinstiffs.com

I bought mine from Gilt Group and they are from Jan Leslie. They are about $20 for 6 pairs and are made of brass or stainless steel depending on which ones you get.

Thanks guys, I will look into these options.

Those ties are horrific. If you must wear a red tie, pair it with a light blue shirt. With a white shirt there is way too much contrast. The spotted red one is decent, but the other is cheap looking. If you must go with the white shirt the navy tie (while not great looking do to the sateen stripe) would be the better choice.

Cant decide

Meermin because well who the hell is "handgrade"?

Also the meermin's are styled more tastefully, imo.

x2, I had thought DC Lewis supplied their shoes?

My only beef with the meermins is the last. Hiro fits me perfectly, New Rey is somewhat more narrow, but looks great. Probably should just size up.

Alright, one vote for the Meermins.

Well no hate to DC, but their shoes are made in China. I am a bit of an economic nationalist...

Nothing wrong with that.
Don't get me started on the US unions and their effect on manufacturing in this country

Couldn't agree more...

I must know what kind of jacket this is!

The magazine I have says it is a brown bomber jacket from Ralph Lauren, £2100

Meermin and you can specify which last, colour, lining and many other for just a small upcharge!! No brainer

The magazine I have says that Beckham jacket is a "brown bomber jacket" from Ralph Lauren, £2100.

Okay quick question:
I'm looking for a winter shoe. Is this one wearable?




Normally I'd prefer brown ones, but since my favorite gloves are black I would like to match them.

As a college student, would it be acceptable to wear Walnut Strands with a suit to school functions and interviews? The alternative is a pair of AE (brown) loafers.

Is that a trick question? Of course it's acceptable.
