I have not one piece of clothing or accessory that has either brass or gold coloring in its make up. Only nickel, silver or stainless steel for me. Kinda strange now that I think of it.

Yeah, I didn't have any brass hardware until I got into natural leather, etc. I do agree it's quite hard for brass to go with a conventional black belt, but these ones from Vintage Works (one of Japan's most specialist belt makers) changed my mind... Not for everyone, but I reckon it looks rather nice:

It's particularly hard because I don't really know what kind of jacket is going to be the most versatile with my new wardrobe as I haven't really work things like chunky cardigans and OCBDs on a regular basis in the past. Any suggestions on a warm, versatile and affordable (<$250) coat (no peacoats please)? Oh, and I'm tall and super skinny so nice and slim is a big bonus. Thanks in advance.

Anyone?

Any good recommendations for a cardigan with nice details in the 100-200$ range? Thanks!

How do you guys buy clothes online? I've never really done it before and I'm paranoid that I'm going to get something that doesn't fit. Do you just base it off your measurements and then hope it fits right or what?

Know your measurements, know your size in other brands, ask questions. How is this so hard?

Thinking of getting a new belt. I've done a search and I think I'll get one from either Corter, Unlucky or Hollows. Any opinions on their work?
