What's the best storage solution for Polo's, I have some of the cheap plastic hangers from Target but I'm getting what looks like bulges in the shoulder from the hanger. I've seen "the hanger project", but I just don't have that kind of cast to spend on hangers....

Try folding them.

Any opinions on the fit of my new blazer (other than the fact the sleeves are too long)?

This, again. Alternatively, what are some somewhat affordable peacoats you can recommend? EDIT: 5' 7", ~162 lb.

It looks like it's trying to double as a corset. I'm not sure if there's anything you can do to reduce the amount of pulling at the waist, but from the pics you posted, there seems to be just too much suppression.

Are the bean camp mocs look too similar to boat shoes to be appropriate for fall?

+1 on folding them. Using hangars almost always stretches out polos.

Size down to the 38.

Thanks everyone for help, I'll just start folding them, right now I only have a few so shouldn't be to hard to move stuff around.

Thanks for that suggestion, I'll have to check and see what target has, as the closest Ikea is about 2 hours away. Definitely looks like a better solution then Yaffa Blocks...

Looks like the body is a tad short, even for a sportscoat. I personally like fitted/slim but there's just too much waist suppression there, looks like you can't breath... just the wrong cut, suck it up and get something else... (sorry)

Which of these three boots will look best with APC NS: Red Wing 1908, Red Wing GT Black Cherry, or Alden Indy? The APC's will be worn uncuffed, the 36" inseam to be stacked on a pretty slim 31-inch waisted 5'9" idiot (me). I have some lace-up (Oxford) Clarks right now, and the jeans didn't look too hot cuffed. Any help appreciated.
