    Charles Tyrwhitt Custom Shirt Review

    I had to go to the website to read that for myself because I didn't quite believe it, but yes you are right they do say that. But I find it odd because I'm 6'1" with a long torso and the shirts are really nice and long (they go down to the bottom of my butt) and have a low button that keeps them...

    Can I wear this suit jacket as a blazer?

    What do you think about the suit as a whole? It is a bit of a deviation for me from the charcoal and navy suits I wear most of the time.

    Can I wear this suit jacket as a blazer?

    The suit is kind of interesting to me because it has a pretty classic pattern in a somewhat casual texture and color but at the same time the pattern is pretty small and subtle and the cut is pretty slim and modern. It also has some gray undertones in person that is not as obvious in the pic and...

    Can I wear this suit jacket as a blazer?

    Is it because oxfords are a bit too formal for a jacket like that or some other reason?

    Feedback on Tyrwitt slim fit dress shirt size and fit?

    I was sort of in the same boat of being in between sizes and fit on CT shirts. I finally settled on Slim Fit 16.5 35 and I'm 6'1" 190 lbs. Out of the bag a Slim Fit 16 35 fits just about perfectly in the body but after a few washes or after a large meal it was just a hair snug, and of course the...

    Chino fit feedback

    I think it looks okay although I personally have a strong preference for slim fit and think a slight leg taper would look better, but that is just personal preference. I also think that polo shirt is really nice but be careful not to wear that specific combo in public because you'll look like...

    Can I wear this suit jacket as a blazer?

    While I have your attention what do you think of black shoes with the oatmeal suit like in the pics? I figured brown shoes would look best with an oatmeal suit but even with my dark brown shoes it is a little too matchy, whereas black seems to pop nicely which I wouldn't have expected.

    Can I wear this suit jacket as a blazer?

    Thanks for that feedback - as a German-American I sort of prefer the European style of dressing anyway and I find it more interesting than how most Americans dress. I get the feeling that most people around here wouldn't know or care the difference between a suit jacket and blazer but either way...

    Can I wear this suit jacket as a blazer?

    I have a handful of suits and only one blazer. I was thinking about buying a second blazer but I have yet to find something that strikes my interest and so I've deferred that purchase til I find something down the road. However, that got me thinking, can I occasionally wear a suit jacket as a...

    Can these AE shoes be saved?

    I'm not expert but it kind of looks like a previous owner tried to use black polish to burnish the shoes? Acetone might work but let some others chime in and definitely watch some youtube videos on how to use that before you do anything drastic haha.

    The School Fees We Pay - Mistakes We Make Finding Our Taste

    This thread is sort of like AA but for clothing enthusiasts. So with that said, hello, I am bjornb17. I was referred to this thread based on my comment on another thread. Below is my comment but expanded upon for this thread: I've been on this sartorial journey for about 14 years now. They say...

    How to cope with losing money with constant style mistakes when learning?

    Thanks for the link that was a great read! Not only am I not alone, I think I've probably lost less money paying dues than most of the commenters (so far, at least haha).

    Suit Fit Feedback

    Overall that looks quite nice and you'll look better than most people in the wild with that suit. However, I feel like the shoulders might be slightly too wide? And as another commenter mentioned the sleeves are slightly too long. Have you tried one size smaller in the jacket? The pants look...

    How to cope with losing money with constant style mistakes when learning?

    I've been on this sartorial journey for about 14 years now. They say it is about the journey, not the destination, and that is so true since my style and knowledge is ever-evolving. I figured by now I would have things more or less dialed in, but it is a constant process. When I look at my sense...
