Agreed. Even though the Brooks Brothers shirts come out really good out of the dryer. I still think that you should iron to get that crisp look. I just find that you have less ironing to do with the Brooks Brothers ones.

What I've found with the non-iron shirts is that they are far easier to get looking great. My standard fabric shirts take a bit more coaxing to get looking really good. And to be honest, BB non-iron shirts are my least favorite when it comes to softness of fabric. My Tyrwhitt and Pink shirts are much softer than BB. Hell, even JAB non-irons are softer than BB...unless they've changed their treatment and I'm not aware of it.

+1. Non-iron doesn't mean you don't need to iron it, it just means the ironing is a bit faster. Which, for me, given that I think such shirts look weird, is not a trade-off I am willing to make. But, if you are a bit less obsessive about it then me I can totally understand the appeal

Thinking to sell my well fitting, classic staple Lobbs to get Berluti wallet

The question is: am I crazy?

Does anyone know what brand logo this is? Unfortunately I have no better quality picture as this was a screenshot from a DVD.

Can anyone comment on the fit of the PRL Preston wool flannel pants? I have several pairs of preston chinos that fit well albeit snug in the wait in a 34, but normally have to go to about a 38 for dress pants. Would I be good in a 36 in the wool flannel pants or should I go up to a 38?

I just got a pair of discontinued AE Fairfax from Nordstrom Rack. Can someone tell me what color these shoes are in? I am leaning towards burgundy and using the merlot color shoe polish but an AE salesman insisted on chili.

 

[KObalto]

Looks like chili.

 

[clarksdb]

Seem chili. Burgundy is much darker and more of a red-brown whereas chili is red-orange if that makes sense. If those pictures are an accurate color of the shoes then id say chili.

 

[khe86]

What about this picture in better lighting. I'm asking this because I really wasn't aware of this shoe being made in chili.

 

[yywwyy]

Burgundy? Looks like the photo had flash, which lightens the color...

Yes perhaps burgundy then but you might want to ask the AE experts here:

Explain the situation to them.
