    eHABERDASHER.com - what website improvements and/or what would you change?

    How about adding the 360 degree view option at least for shoes? It helps a prospective buyer see the shape of the tow and the back of the shoe, For an example of this feature look at bexley shoes website. Also, although not website related but I always wondered why you didn't stock men's shoes...

    Black suit poll

    Isn't black considered "the" power suit in some Asian Business settings?

    Black suit poll

    I just retired my Black Armani suit that served me very well, even in professional settings. It is not uncommon to see black suits in offices in Los Angeles. In the wild, they are not hated as much as they are here on SF.

    Return of the Double Breasted Suit...

     +1 . I have worn double breasted suits in professional setting in the last 10 years when many days went by before I saw anyone else wearing one.

    What watch should my friend get? He has ~$40k budget

    A person who has 40K to spend on a watch should have enough sense and style to pick one himself without asking anyone's opinion. Maybe my view of the world is too idealistic :happy:

    Surrounded by idiots - Help!!

    I will pay my own way and stand in for him. Please have my suit waiting for me when I arrive. PM for measurements! I was going to make the same generous offer but you beat me to it. OP, a solid wool suit will not wrinkle badly. If wrinkles are that much of a problem then may I suggest a...

    Arizona Made to Measure Start-up

    Sounds like a good idea. If you think that you can run a profitable operation by offering a U.S made, fully canvased suit for $595-$795 then more power to you. I wish you the best of luck. I am assuming that you would take the measurements of the client yourself, if that's the case; do you have...

    conservative business dress WAYWRN: An Experiment

    No, the point is that it's absurd to say one style is inherently classier than the other. That's like saying "bluchers look cheap, you should always wear bals." Really? Single v. double is just a stylistic choice. You don't have to like either. But neither is inherently nicer or crummier than...

    What makes a good dress shirt...good?

    A good dress shirt for you will be the one that fits you the best, above everything else. A $500 bespoke shirt that doesn't fit you will look a lot worse than a $20 shirt that provides a good fit. The second thing to look at would be the material. I try to stick with pure cotton shirts because...

    Friday WAYWRN Challenge 4/8/11 - As decided by acecow.....

    Sounds like an interesting challenge. At the very least, a chance for some conservative SF'ers to get their spectators and saddle shoes out. I can only imagine what the daring will show

    Do fine shoes need sunblock?

    Hey, what if the patina that you guys admire so much is actually melanoma?? Should I take my shoes to a dermatologist?

    Do fine shoes need sunblock?

    Are you serious? How long before someone asks if the shoes can get skin cancer because of prolonged sun exposure?

    Allen Edmonds new custom shoe program

    I might be tempted to order one if they decide to lauch a "custom made seconds line". . With their vast experience with such product, it should be a piece of cake.

    Emma Willis shirts

    Someone suggested that I have her make shirts for me. An appointment was made and I showed up on time only to have her tell me. "This is not a drop-in kind of place. You'll have to leave, I have an appointment coming." Rather than tell her that I was her appointment, I decided to leave. There...
