    When is the Next Brooks Brothers Sale?

    Is there a 50% off outerwear sale this spring/summer? I feel like I read that in the past, but I am not sure if that is a real thing or not.

    Expert help wanted: Tall people issues

    I am built similarly to you (6' 4", ~205 lbs) and I pretty much buy all my suits off Ebay. You can get top tier suits there with a huge discount over retail. The trick is that you have to be careful and know your measurements. Also, you need to know what can reasonably altered and what can...

    Shirt Shopping Trouble - Odd Neck Size / Arm Length Combination

    Your neck size in proportion to your sleeve does seem atypical, but I can't say for certain. I order most of my shirts these days from Luxire (http://custom.luxire.com/collections/dress-shirts). There you can pick all your measurements. Start with something cheap like their trial shirt...

    St. Crispin's Appreciation Thread

    I am not sure if this is the best place to ask this question, but I'll give it a go: I am ordering a pair of bespoke shoes and have a couple options, was trying to decide between black museum calf and the St Crispin black baby calf from AA crack. Is there an appreciable difference in quality...

    Cold Weather Jacket/Coat with semi-formal attire?

    You could get a peacoat. It's like the most appropriate item in the world for nearly everything. For a suit though, I'd personally wear an overcoat.

    Wearing this overcoat directly over shirts?

    You can wear it just fine. I wear an overcoat with a dress shirt and a sweater all the time. That said, I am not huge fan of the coat itself. It seems like some sort of shortened overcoat/trench coat hybrid that doesn't really "work" in my eyes. I think you would be better off buying a...

    When is the Next Brooks Brothers Sale?

    Has anyone ever purchased the officers coat or seen it in person? http://www.brooksbrothers.com/Golden-Fleece%C2%AE-Officer's-Coat/ML00184,default,pd.html?dwvar_ML00184_Color=NAVY&contentpos=1&cgid= I can't find any images of the coat in real life. If It goes on heavy discount it could become...

    Is slim fit on the way out?

     1. Slim fit has always been less common. It is always easier to find something in a "regular" fit over a slim. 2. Conversely, it is possible that the slim fit items sold better and thus, there are fewer left in stock.

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

     Depends on how much you want to spend, I have these two: http://custom.luxire.com/products/grandi_calliope_b_00045_00501_fine_twill_white http://custom.luxire.com/products/grandi_sky_roy_b_14937_00031_fine_white_royal_oxford_200-2 I find them both to be of great quality for suit shirts...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    I found that using standard size charts and measuring shirts I already owned helped out quite a bit. It only took me a couple orders to get a fit I was happy with, but I think it helps not to try and be perfect. If there's one thing I have learned, nothing is ever perfect.
