    Searching for comfortable, stylish jeans. Any suggestions?

    Try Seven for all Mankind or AG - the ones with a lycra blend in them. Denimheads will sneer at them, but they are super comfortable and they come in a range of fits to accommodate all builds.

    The What Are You Wearing Today (WAYWT) Discussion Thread, Part II

    I think that dressing up for concerts bit is overstated. I've been attending classical concerts for 15+ years, since my mid-20s (Philly, DC, MPO to name a few) and have not put on a suit or a jacket - ever. Sweaters/nice slacks, or dark jeans/dress shoes/dark tailored shirt: so smart but...

    Red Wing Iron Ranger Boots - what's the dilly yo?

    Quick question, guys - I am on the cusp of 10.5D/10.5E on a Brannock, and generally wear 10.5E in Allen Edmonds, which is comfortable and a wee bit spacious. Alden 403s fit me really well in a 10D. I am looking to get a pair of Red Wing 875s. Should I stick to 10.5D or go down 1/2 size, as...

    The Watch Appreciation Thread (Reviews and Photos of Men's Timepieces by Rolex, Patek Philippe, Brei

    My own strategy is that i try to find comparable selling prices for that watch elsewhere - if i dont find those, then i ask myself what is the price that would be sufficient for me to go used, as opposed to just buying new. In general, 20-30% off typical *selling price* (not retail) price is...

    The Watch Appreciation Thread (Reviews and Photos of Men's Timepieces by Rolex, Patek Philippe, Brei

    I've bought from a German dealer off Chrono24, but i've emailed them directly. I didnt even realize there was a checkout option, to be honest - not that i would use it, as email allows for a little more price negotiation. Got a great price from them, too. But it took a while for them to...

    The Watch Appreciation Thread (Reviews and Photos of Men's Timepieces by Rolex, Patek Philippe, Brei

    Thanks! I am not wild about brown straps, to be honest. They dont go well with my skin color (atleast I dont think they do). I have the blue nubuck strap (the other strap this watch comes with) on order, though: that's the more popular option, apparently (the version with the bracelet...

    The Watch Appreciation Thread (Reviews and Photos of Men's Timepieces by Rolex, Patek Philippe, Brei

    As a new guy, i cannot agree with the above enough. Those mega threads are great for regular posters who are here daily, but for those of us who log on a little less regularly, it is seriously intimidating. I want to ask some questions about Aldens - should i read all 10,000 posts to make...

    Should I or shouldn't I buy... (clothing item)?

    What do you guys think? I tend to dress in classic style and this is about the limit of how wild'n'wacky i get. To be worn with dark jeans and boots.

    I'd buy it just so i can say I have the Original SF Labia Coat.

    Official Sales Alert thread - sales, coupon and discount codes

    Sure, but I am not talking about shipping to a different address, which happens to be a F&F company. In this case, that freight forwarding address is the billing address of the card - ie, i am shipping the product to the card's billing address. Changing the billing address of a card isnt...

    Official Sales Alert thread - sales, coupon and discount codes

    Why, Unionmade, why? Why would you cancel my order made with a US credit card and shipped to that card's (US) billing address, merely b/c the address happens to be a mail forwarding service? Some of us do live/work overseas, fucktards. *grumbling b/c they had a nice pair of boots I wanted...

    NEW MEMBER INQUIRIES & QUICK QUESTIONS- STREETWEAR & DENIM: WK OF JAN 11, 2016

    Thanks for that, Brian & @MurlSquirl. I guess i'll have to deal with 2 shoes on a trip. I live in Asia and generally, being out and about all day means regular change of clothes, so i typically tend to pack enough clothes to change regularly and not rely on the hotel clothes-wrecking service...

    NEW MEMBER INQUIRIES & QUICK QUESTIONS- STREETWEAR & DENIM: WK OF JAN 11, 2016

    I've always considered sneakers to be ultra-casual and while i do have a pair of Converses, I rarely wear them except when i am really dressed down. However, I travel a fair bit and it is a pain in the rear to pack dress shoes or boots - for starters, i'll need atleast a couple and usually...

    The Hong Kong Tailors Thread

    I was in Hong Kong earlier this week, and got a shirt tailored at Jantzen and am very happy with the end results. And at HKD450 a pop, the price is quite reasonable as well (I forget the weave - I think it was Egyptian cotton, 100/2... really soft and feels great). I ordered 2 more before...
