Does it really matter if I wash my clothes in cold when it says warm?

Can anyone recommend a good tailor in NYC? I'm looking to get a hoodie (B.Son Mock Pullover - is this possible?) and some J.Crew oxfords altered.

What's the shrink and stretch like on these too? I have a 32 that is loose on the waist right out of the box. A 31 would fit almost perfect right out of the box, but they only have 30 in stock. The 30's would be quite tight out of the box. Should I go with the 30's or try to find a 31?

My original question is in the quote above.

What's the waist shrinkage like on the RRDS? I almost always soak them for an hour to get some shrinkage out of the way before I get them hemmed and to get rid of some of the starch.If I get a size 30 and I soak them, will they be entirely too small?

I think I'm going to try to find a size 31 because a size 30 would be barely bottonable before I even shrank them. Is this the best route to go?

Lastly, since Denim Bar doesn't have a 31 in stock, where can I exchange these Nudies? They're brand new, still tags on them and all. Are there any stores out there that will exchange these for me even though I bought them somewhere else.

Thanks for any help!

Hey guys. Do you know where I can get a sleeveless hoodie? I want a plain one with no graphics and preferably a zip hoodie. The only place I found one is American Apparel so far. Thanks.

Can I pull these off with jeans?

 

[stevenvg]

lowest-rise jeans that are sub-$100?

 

[chronoaug]

girl jeans (serious)



how low are you talking about? have a measurement in mind?

 

[flyindarkness]

with the upcoming sale from gilt, BoO and RLBL, which do you prefer? who wins on design, fit, quality and price?

 

[chronoaug]

You serious?. Different strokes for different folks. They're not identical items to be compared point by point. Clothing doesn't really work like that. They both use nice materials, although the BoO ones are mostly going to be more casual and the BoO fit is going to be a bit more youthful and casual. Do you want a more classic dress shirt, or slightly more hip, casual, slimmer fitting shirt? Both have their places.

How does the Gap guy make Band of Outsiders a mall brand? I know this is old but I'm just wondering.

From WAYWT topic, can one really not wear blue and green? What about dark blue jeans and olive green shirts?

I'm not very good with uh, 'exceptions' so, for example, I don't wear black and brown together anywhere on my body unless it's just a button on a shirt or something. I try to not wear multiple blacks, but black and greys... and I thought navy and blue jeans could be ok, but definitely not navy and black, but black and blue jeans is ok.

But blue and green bad I am not familiar with.

I'm also confused about what color belt to wear with burgundy shoes. More specifically, burgundy GT's. Given that burgundy GT's have a khaki / light tan and black sole, I figured black, brown, and burgundy belts must all be a go. Any tips?
