    Shortening a suit jacket (very specific question)

    If it's truly as you describe, then it should be doable. Just be careful - the pockets aren't the only thing to be measuring from. I'd argue the most important measurement is from the buttoning point. You may throw the balance way off. Thanks, I will certainly take that into account. My guess...

    Help Me Find a Suit for My 20-Year-Old Son

    You may be overthinking this. Most of the eating clubs are really just houses of debauchery. For a normal dinner invitation, wearing a suit is a case of crazy overkill. Perhaps he needed a suit for Winter Formals, which I think might have been last weekend, but even in that case he really should...

    Shortening a suit jacket (very specific question)

    Here's the situation: I have a MTM Zegna suit that I had done when suits were being worn a bit longer. The jacket is half way between a regular and a long. However, all they did was take a stock regular pattern and add an inch at the bottom. The interior tag even lists this one as a regular...

    Help Me Find a Suit for My 20-Year-Old Son

    Ralph Lauren or Brooks Brothers will be good bets. I think RL will probably fit him a bit better given his build. In the Polo line, I think the consensus here is that the Bradford model is best for a tall slim guy. Otherwise, the Black Label suits should fit him perfectly. They're a bit more...

    Lapel Notch

    I like a fairly high notch but definitely don't like it when it's so high it rolls up onto my shoulder. Then it just looks like the suit is the wrong size. Generally, I like it at my collar bone.

    Finance Internship: Inform Me About Dress Shoes

    Is your work environment going to be business formal or business casual? If more casual (no tie, perhaps a jacket, perhaps just slacks and a dress shirt) then I think loafers are appropriate. I would, however, skip any that are overly chunky or have a metal bit across the front. If you are in...

    Chicago Winter Sales Alert 2010

    A lot of stuff at Barney's is already 50% or more. I ordered a suit from the Chicago store this morning in fact, 50% off.

    Gold dress watch for about $2,000

    I would prefer a mechanical and love vintage watches. But this would be a gift for me from my workplace, and there are complications in having someone who knows bupkas about a watch going out to buy a gift watch for me, if that gift watch is a vintage one. I was actually looking at...

    question about Tom Ford suit

    Instead of making a new thread I figured I'd ask here if you don't mind, but do all Tom Ford suits have ticket pockets? I love the overall style of his suits but the ticket pocket usually ruins it for me. The ones I've seen do. If you're planning to buy one at MSRP, might as well do MTM and get...

    Boyfriend's gift

    presumably he would already have it by now. so what to get the man who has everything? ask his best friend if he has talked about anything he likes lately. its always nice when the gf/wife buys something you wouldn't at all expect her to. no doubt, he's expecting you to go with the usual...

    question about Tom Ford suit

    Not sure which link you're seeing, but when I click on to Bluefly (where the suit is actually to be sold) the size listed in the shopping cart is 38R (48R). So it's not really in contention is it? Well, the OP is looking in a shop that's not Bluefly. I'm sure that TF suits are all labeled with...

    Gold dress watch for about $2,000

    At any given price range for watches, you have to keep the following in mind: every dollar you spend for precious metals/stones is a dollar less you are spending on the quality of the movement. In the all-gold category there is the Tissot Helvetia and Baume Hampton Classic can be had new for...

    Suits Sucked in the 1990s

    Andy Garcia, looks timeless to me. This gentleman has STYLE! I think the cut of his suit is just as bad as the rest. What saves his look is the following: 1. He's wearing a good dark color, vs. that greyish olive that everyone in the 90s seemed really into. 2. He doesn't have the rest of the...

    Suits Sucked in the 1990s

    Pretty sure Alec Baldwin could put on that exact same suit today and have it look appropriately fitted... And yea, "The Coming of Tiger Woods," I'm really surprised nobody dug this cover out during the scandal, that's simply amazing, couldn't have asked for better archives...

    --Update--GOT IT!!Need your opinion on a watch please (gift for my dad).

    I personally like a DD on a strap more, I can't see myself ever wearing a watch on a gold bracelet. Since your dad doesn't seem to be a collector, I probably wouldn't go vintage unless there was some significance to the year the watch was made (some milestone in his life, perhaps).

    Can leather be ethical?

    It's ethical as long as you make sure to sell the steaks to a butcher and grind up the rest of the innards to use as animal fodder. Don't be wastful.

    New tux fit pics, please critique

    Most of H&M's jackets fit longer than this, so I'm thinking I may also keep the trousers and go back and look for a velvet jacket that fits tux specs (I've seen them there before). At least then I'll have a black tie getup for if I need it, since a velvet jacket isn't supposed to match the...

    Please help authenticate this Patek Phillippe watch.

    Was coming here to say this. Nearly every major watch manufacturer has or does manufacture watches with quartz movements. This watch is a fake, however. The back is 100% wrong. Very true. Almost the whole of PP's ladies line is quartz, and there were always quartz Aquanauts. It's also not...

    Please help authenticate this Patek Phillippe watch.

    You think mineral glass doesn't scratch? Mineral does scratch, but in my experience, watchmakers of PP's stature wouldn't use mineral. At the high end, they'll all use sapphire, and from what I've seen, most made the switch directly from plastic to sapphire. The only high-end watches I've seen...

    New tux fit pics, please critique

    Too short -- take it back and get the right size. If you already had it altered ( sleeves ), give it to your little brother ---- or--- get the pants shortened to above ankel, and go for the complete Pee WEE Herman look. Maybe I don't understand your view point -- If they don't have your size --...
