    Thoughts on this one too??

    I think if the yellow in the shirt was more subdued it could work. But as it stands I'm giving it a thumbs down. If you stick with the shirt why not look for a regimental pattern with some yellow? Anyone think this could work ? Or is it too much blue ? Only small pic

    Tie Length - In the USA and around the World

    I was in South America for winter break and in the larger cities I noticed something I had noted in western Europe (mostly in the south) as well and might as well bring up now. Mainly that business men at least a majority favor short ( to my eyes ) ties by short I mean two three or more inches...

    Shopping guide for the short & slim

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I once looked at the brooks boys stuff but I took the sizes at face value and didn't look at the chart. My only hope is that I may still someday grow as big as a size 20 husky brooks boy. I've sent off an email asking if the brooks boys ties are any smaller than...

    Sporting a trench coat

    I don't like the pic Bradford posted or this one. Both make it look sort of baggy. But mine makes clear the way to tie your trench. The best Bogart trench for me was in the Maltese Falcon it was very fitted and probably the movie that made it famous. (I believe it was his first leading role) By...

    Tie question

    Slim black suit and white shirt I would imagine a white pocket square in which case I would go with choice one. On the other hand tie two is also nice but I'm wondering what kind of pocket square? A subdued dark red maybe, both good choices. Tie three to me doesn't seem more flamboyant than two...

    Do Women Really Love Stylish men?

    I feel Nonk has hit the nail on the head.

    Closet organization

    Would something like this work ? Sams Club I'm sure if you searched you could even find something like this with wheels. I think that would be rather useful if you have lots of space.

    French Cuffs

    They are perceived as flashy and are often too large. Once you have made it obviously you can wear what you wish but on an interview you try to impress upon others your serious aspects. French cuffs can detract from this. It's really not that big of a deal just a suggestion for putting the...

    Do Women Really Love Stylish men?

    I would assume stylish women enjoy stylish men. On the other hand It would seem commonsensical that women with litle style or litle need for style would feel alienated by a stylish man. If you dress in a manner to be divided from the mass you may have to change your surroundings because it...

    wrist wear

    My roomate wears an american eagle snap bracelet thing. But why don't you diversify into shiny metals. They will also make your wrist and neck strong.

    Ribbon Belts

    Could someone please clear up when it is appropriate in American Trad to wear ribbon/silk belts? I assume they are appropriate with chinos and other summer pants. What about cords and non summer wool pants ? Could one be worn with wool pants and blazer in winter? I'am also under the...

    How to wear this jacket?

    I'm thinking reverse of blazer, so Dark Blue pants ? Btw you need to tell your tailor to leave space in your left sleeve for the livestrong band.

    Can anyone comment on the CT sea island socks. (what shoe size do they comfortably fit?) I was thinking of getting a few pairs of the red.

    If you had unlimited resources

    Suits I would go with Huntsman & Sons. Shirts Kabbaz. Shoes I suppose Lobb and Berluti concurrently. What about Ties I would pick Marinella. Yet if I was able I doubt I could limit myself to any set number of artisans not as long as I continue to enjoy clothes.

    Cheesiest Movie Lines

    "Nobody puts Baby in the corner." The force with which this was delivered blows all of those other lines out of the water. Those other's are simply bad dialog but baby in corner is inspired.
