I have a couple quick questions.

I think I'm going to call New York - Uniqlo for a phone order, but was wondering how much do they charge for shipping U.S. to U.S. shipping?
I plan on buying a couple of there ties and was wondering which shirt would go best with a 2'in tie (skinny).

Choice One - http://www.uniqlo.com/us/explorer.ht...061734-000-00/
or
Choice two - http://www.uniqlo.com/us/explorer.ht...062032-000-00/

I can't really tell over the internet which collar would go best with a tie of that size. I don't want the collar to be to big. I want it to be porpotional to a skinny tie.

Also are there skinny jeans skinny like Levi's 511 or skinnier?

If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Anyone know where to buy a cheap, thick (not necessarily wide though) web belt?

Web belts from surplus stores are kind of thin, I want something a little more substantial.

How do Jack Purcell's fit? I'm usually a 10.5/11 in most shoes, but I have a regular pair of Chuck's that are a 10 and are still too big. Just curious if I should go with a 9/9.5 in Jack's considering the prior. Thanks. (I'll be wearing them in the summer with no socks).

My feet must be exactly the same size as yours. Get the 9.5.
I wear 10.5 Nike and have a pair of Chucks that are slightly too big in 10, and 9.5 Purcells fit perfectly.

Also, should I buy the Jack Purcell's in white for the summer? Second question, with jeans in the summer I want to get a pair of black shoes. Should I get a pair of Common Projects Mid in black or Converse Leather jackets?

I'm just worried that without the white soul the black on black look will look too much.. I know Efron wears shiny black shoes but I don't mind them because of the white.

They are YSL I think, but look alright due to the white, or maybe it's just me?

He's not, just the first person that popped into my head when I thought of shiny black shoes.

Hey all,

Anyone have suiting/shirting information for the denver/metro area? I'll ask in MC as well. High-end.

I also posted this in the APC thread but am hoping others with raw denim experience may provide an answer.

I just got some APC New Standards, my first pair of raw jeans. I love the fit, I sized down two, three would be too painful. My only concern is the length, I would not want them to shrink more than 1/2 to 1 inch in length. Am I going to regret it when it's time to soak/wash them?
