Did Allen Edmonds have a Shell #8 with brogue/blucher/captoe? They don't seem to now, but I thought maybe they did in the past.


Can't tell without picture. You can post a picture of the crease.

Any tips on how to get the smell of sunscreen off clothes?

I have a few casual shirts that smell of Coppertone from a recent Carribean trip. I've laundered them with regular detergent, but it didn't do much.

French cuffs are most elegant but I think the mitered button cuff is handsome as well (I prefer button cuffs)

For a professional job interview (associate attorney position), all other things being equal, would you wear a pinstriped or solid suit?

I bought a "british khaki" linen suit. I'm trying to decide what to wear with it...

I'm thinking medium/light blue gingham shirt, navy knit tie, and white bucks. Would this look good?

thanks. do you think a buttoned cuff should be mitered fro spread collar, or could single button cuffs work?

Single buttons are fine. (What is mitered, btw?)

What makes a collar fold and fall down just over the button.

You can see this shirt is almost doing it, but i have some older shirts that are horrible for this.
I need to keep a tie knot very tight and the tie up high to keep the collar from dropping.

Anyway to fix or know what causes it?

Ah, I see. I prefer rounded cuffs.
