    Source for short-sleeve button-down pullovers?

    I'm looking for a specific kind of casual hot-weather shirt and cannot find it in RTW. This is not an urgent but an idle want of mine these days. Is anyone selling short-sleeve button-down pullovers, preferably with a square tail? I have a old one by Fairway and Greene; I checked and they do...

    men's style predictions for the year 2020

    The decade is coming to an end. What are your predictions about the state of men's style ten years from now? In Winter 2020, what will we be wearing?

    [email protected] - "your style wingman"

    Insert in a new J.Crew catalog: an invitation to send email to [email protected] for "style advice, tips, and questions you don't want to ask your friends." Because "[email protected]" is "your style wingman." I must be in a surly mood, because I can barely resist trolling Jack with dumbass questions.

    crema alpina on leather furniture

    Crema Nubiana (was Crema Alpina) advertises itself as good for fine furniture. We have some fine leather furniture that could use some conditioner. Anyone use Crema Nubiana to conditioner their comfy chairs? What about Saphir Renovateur? Any reason not to slather this on the sofa? I know the...

    What makes a good plaid?

    What do you look for in a plaid? If you look for different things in plaid shirts, jackets, whatever, I am curious.

    Pebble grain in the summer?

    Is there anything seasonal about pebble grain shoes or boots? I understand the rough texture is associated with the country and with casual dress, but I wonder if there is any history to wearing the leather only in colder weather.

    measurements for Brooks Brothers slim fit medium sport shirts?

    Does anyone have actual measurements for a current Brooks Brothers slim fit sport shirt (say, the irish linen ones) in size medium? I called BB and all they can say is "five inches slimmer in the chest and six inches slimmer in the waist."

    braces: bang for the buck

    I never wear braces and need a pair for black tie. Solid black will be good. Having no experience with them, I am not sure how to evaluate them when I find them. And unfortunately, I do not live within driving distance of many stores that stock a variety of them. I found some in a local...

    edge dressing for tan winter boots

    The winter snow & slush whitens the edges on my shoes. Looking for light brown edge dressing for a new pair of tan scotch country grain winter boots, I find "natural" from AE. Link Should I use this for purty heels which show the layered leather -- such as the heels on these Alden Cigar...

    Alcoholic candies for the holiday season

    One of my favorite things at holiday time are Asbach Uralt liqueur-filled chocolates. A local store stocks them for me. You can see them here if you are curious. What alcoholic candies & other concoctions do you enjoy each year about this time? I'd love to see links or recipes for your...

    DIY Indian food

    Can anyone recommend a cookbook for Americans making Indian food? Not Native American food but Indian food: saag paneer, aloo gobi, lamb sagwala, etc. I'm especially interested in the meateater dishes & the ones that use dairy products. But I love the vegetables too and will read anything...

    Sleeve board Appreciation and appreciation thread

    Where can I buy a quality or high-quality sleeve board + pad + cover on the internet? Yes, I want to press my suits with it. The board I've seen at the local big-box discount retailer looks ready to break in two weeks.

    PSA favorable exchange rates w/ Australia for the USD

    The AUD has weakened against the dollar in recent weeks. Two months ago, when the dollar was trading 1.04, I bought a pair of boots for AUD$330 and got charged US$315. Today the rate is about 1.43. AUD$330 = USD$230. In other words, 30% off R.M. Williams boots. What else can we buy from...

    Brooks Brothers, Fall 2008

    The Brooks Brothers Fall 2008 catalog (vol 1) came today. From this I learned -- The Brooks family has grown. A red-haired and square-jawed, Irish-looking fellow has muscled out the slender, TV anchor-looking guy for the prime spots with the leading ladies. The cheerful, somewhat creepy old...

    quick Loake width / fitting question: "F" = US D or US E?

    I read the archives, and I have not found a clear answer to this question, so here goes. For those of you who wear Loakes & American shoes (AE, Alden): Do the "F" fitting shoes fit more like an American "D" or an American "E"? Do the "G" fitting...

    Rags of the recession

    American consumers are cutting back on clothes and dining out, but not on big TVs or video games. NYT article. My gut feeling is that most Americans want an excuse to not spend money on clothes. True or not, it looks like clothes are the first thing they stop buying. The US clothing industry...
