    Agonizing over 1/2 size when buying shoes - - Pointless?

    I have two pairs of shoes at home over the weekend. I bought both the 10D and the 10 1/2D. Each feels better at a different time. I have made a decision on one and and then the other, almost returned each pair, and then I change my mind. Pretty soon they will be so broken in I won't be able to...

    Brooks Brothers vs. Suit Supply

    Good question, I'll have to find out. In my experience, anything outside BB's usual processes (helping you with an OTR Regent) can cause them to be a bit balky. But I haven't asked that question, so I will.

    NPR: Why Black Men Tend To Be Fashion Kings

    Those are great points. I think many of us, regardless of color or ethnicity, tend to hang out with those most like us in our personal as well as our professional lives. As a retired military officer, I have much more in common with other current and former military people no matter their...

    Review by '' on item 'To Boot New York Men's Sawyer Boot,Parma Doc Teak 432,9.5 M US'

    I have these in black and brown. They are phenomenally crafted. They fit beautifully, especially if you have narrower feet, with a fashionable European toe profile that is anything but square. I use my Superfeet dress shoe orthotics in them and they work perfectly. True to size, these boots are...

    Storing you shoes: Bags or no bags?

    I use one of my Allen Edmonds shoe bags to keep dust off the head of my clothes steamer.

    Black Shirt with Black Suit. I have to get this off my chest.

    I know I'm new here and late to this party, but here are a few thoughts about black on black or black shirts in general. Aside from the douchebag look, black suits with black shirts give the appearance of one being either an undertaker or an assassin (think John Cusack in Grosse Pointe Blank)...

    Which Alfani Red Suit should I pick and a few other questions about shoes, shirt, and tie to go alon

    RedDevil10, exactly. Those monk straps are nice, BTW.

    Which Alfani Red Suit should I pick and a few other questions about shoes, shirt, and tie to go alon

    I actually have four Alfani Red slim-fit suits - that gray one, the navy, the brown, and the black. I love them all, though I'm not as keen on the gray jacket due to the peak lapel. I'm guessing that's their "Mad Men" throwback suit. However, I see peak lapels once in awhile and if you are bold...

    Which Alfani Red Suit should I pick and a few other questions about shoes, shirt, and tie to go alon

    Because square toes are about 15 years out of style and hideous.

    Storing you shoes: Bags or no bags?

    I keep mine out on the floor of my closet so I can see them all each morning. I generally decide which shoes or boots I want to wear and then choose my suit from there. I wear each pair 1-3 times in two weeks. I don't worry about dust or scratches because I am careful and I keep them all...

    Brooks Brothers vs. Suit Supply

    Good point. But I want something fully canvased and of high quality, with pen pockets and everything. Still, I have never been to a Suit Supply, and now that they have one in DC, I should go check it out for myself.

    Hi guys. New member who's been reading the forum for awhile. Recently retired US Navy captain aviator, now wearing suits every day in the Pentagon as a civilian. One of my last tours was in the diplomatic world as an attache in an embassy, so I am keen on suits and dress wear. This is a great...

    Brooks Brothers vs. Suit Supply

    First time poster, long time lurker. My biggest frustration with the Milano is that BB doesn't offer it in suit separates. I would try Suit Supply, but again they don't offer separates that fit me. In a perfect world, I wear a 43R jacket and 34S trouser, so separates are a must for me if I buy...
