     Squeaking would be a huge negative for me but that hasn't happened. I'm happy with the shoes. In some ways, because of the cheaper price I don't coddle them, and don't care about minor niggles. It could also be because I have enough other shoes and know that they will eventually get...

     Just posting to add another confirmation. The edge of the welt on my left shoe just separated from the sole. The other shoe is starting to show a line and will eventually do the same. Seems like the glue doesn't keep the leather together so you end up with a cosmetic defect. This is on...

    What women wear in the workplace

    I have been led to believe that visible bra straps are a serious fashion faux pas, as are visible panty lines. Visible thongs are perfectly acceptable in Australia (even on men) but elsewhere cause most women to literally die of shame. It's true. :nodding: My personal view is that red is a...

    Burgundy suits, yea or nay?

     I know what you mean, less Burgundy and more Bordeaux. :spew: Navy or dark burbundy is much of a muchness to me.

     That's not photoshopped. Don't just crosspost images from the casual thread.

    Wearing suits without ties

     But I thought I was doing sprezzatura! I wear a casual summer suit without a tie and unbuttoned shirt on a hot day. I wear an odd jacket without a tie and unbuttoned shirt as much as with a tie. I try very hard not to wear a tie without also wearing a jacket. Sitting at a desk doesn't count.

    Have dark rinse Indigo Denim jeans jumped the shark yet? I think we're VERY close (if not there alr

     That's a royal "we," isn't it. I wear jeans that go from extra dark to extra faded white. By being extra authentically faded to look like authentic jeans, like those worn by the people I'm trying to dress "above," am I dressing "above" them by trying to authentically dress like them or am...

    I just watched that too and the how to fit a suit video that showed up next. First thing I saw was the chest, which is odd because he's not female. He's gone just that one little bit too far, to the point where it looks a bit too obvious. Not to my taste. The black polo with that jacket on...

    What Does Styleforum do for a living? How does this affect the way you dress?

     That sums me up perfectly but that reading list is beneath me. I believe it. I've seen the WAYWRN pictures.

    Does this jacket fit?

    Based on the pictures, the jacket fits well. The sleeve is not too short, the length is good. But it's hard to tell the length of the jacket with the shorts you are wearing. Post better pictures please.

     Thanks. Have you had them do a partial or a full resole and what do they use for heels?

    In Between a Long and a Regular in a Suit

    Great thread. I'm 6'1 and a bit, and I've had the same problem only a little worse because I'm also a 36 and a 36L is a non-existent beast. I just ran the measuring tape down the back of my jackets from BOC and they range from 30" to 31.5". I find the 30" jackets slightly unacceptably short but...

    Very shiny suit -- what's it called?

     I suspect it's shiny because your sports coat is actually "bamboo" viscose, which is the most common bamboo fabric, not bamboo "linen". Have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo_textiles Silk blend suits can be quite shiny, even low percentage silk blends. It depends more on...

     Buying Coronas is always grim. :D Sapporos are nice, except in Australia it's Canadian beer you're buying. :mad:
