    how to fix "hairy" suede shoes?

    http://blog.rodengray.com/wp-content...3/DSC_0820.jpg nope, too lazy. it is an effect a bit similar to what you see here (found via a google search, one that shouldn't be performed at work, btw, at least not with safesearch off). given the snuff suede color of the shoes in question, the effect...

    how to fix "hairy" suede shoes?

    i got caught in the rain in a pair of snuff suede alden chukkas a couple weeks back in nyc (live in san francisco and forgot how unpredictable east coast weather can be). they looked/felt a little worse for wear after drying out, so i tried brushing them with a nylon-bristle suede brush bought...

    Persol Sunglasses YEAH or NAY

    there can be some quality control issues, but not a huge problem if you buy them from a luxottica-owned retailer. i had a pair a few years ago (of an unfortunately discontinued style) where the lenses began to come away from the frame (not popping out, but on their way to doing so). went back...

    Exhaustive belt search

    Hmmm. Any more info on this Suzanne George? All I can find is a yelp review, but it seems to be a glowing one. April in Paris is an option that I will consider, if I exhaust every other possibility. I think there could be no finer example than what she makes, but $400 is a bit steep for a...

    Exhaustive belt search

    you're in san francisco, no? maybe april in paris on clement street or suzanne george the shoemaker in noe valley? belts on april in paris' website start above $400, but that's including a silver buckle. i'd imagine suzanne george would be less expensive. maybe also consider glaser...

    Anyone have a Tom Ford suit hanger they would sell?

    i wouldn't be surprised if they don't actually have the hanger to give to you. i think many of the department stores only use the fancy wooden hangers (like you see for tom ford and loro piana) for display, and actually receive the garments for sale on ****** plastic hangers or not on hangers at...

    Where do you get a form like this?

    Wolf Form Company. $800. Maybe see if you can find one second-hand.

    Critique needed for fitted-cut suit in 21 oz twill

    lordosis is a ***** (at least for getting clothes to fit correctly). the front-back balance issue does not seem egregious here, by any stretch. i'd just have them let out the back a bit and take in the sides (or, since it's already quite tight, not take in the sides quite so much as the back is...

    Greenfield on Gilt

    anyone who kopped care to share their experience? since this thread has been resurrected... i bought the seersucker pants. fit well (slim cut) and appear well made (in the same ballpark as greenfield-made bbgf pants). panta is probably a better bargain on the same manufacturer's wares (but...

    Slim fit suit in SF

    SF is really that bad for finding a good suit! Man, that's a bit depressing. Is there a good tailor in the city that can take a meh RTW to a properly fitted suit (meh within reason of course). I've also had no luck in finding dress shirts that do not look like capes. Any good MTM shirt makers...

    Greenfield on Gilt

    Really? Most of the Isaia sold on Gilt had to have the Saks/Neiman Marcus tags removed from them before they were shipped to customers. Hmm, I'm surprised on that one--definitely don't see any evidence of that in the lining. The Isaia was nice, don't get me wrong, but fabric was not in the...

    Greenfield on Gilt

    i bought the zegna blazer, too (actually, i bought both of the ones offered in navy), and they were certainly ****. that shouldn't be all that surprising since most of what zegna makes is complete and utter ****--if they make anything decent, it's likely an accident. i've heard from a lot of...

    The mafoofan and Thom Browne philosophies are not too unlike.

    This is an analytic mess, but I'll try to parse it. The reason why logic can be equated with a form of truth is because it does not make or require fact-based or empirical assumptions. It is a consistently repeatable, abstract idea. Like math. logic is however axiomatic and requires the...

    quick question re: barbera collezione

    barbera is doing a trunk show at wilkes in sf this week and i'd like to figure out a couple of things before placing an order. wilkes hasn't had collezione in stock (or a barbera trunk show) in some time. i had purchased a barbera collezione sartoriale jacket a while back off gilt and was very...

    Why do people not wear suits to interviews

    the guy with suit and no tie has no excuse. the guy with slacks and a blazer i can maybe understand. at least in investment banking here in san francisco, standards of dress depend on what will be happening on any particular day. if you are a banker or research analyst meeting with a corporate...
