    Ralph Lauren Custom Fit Pant - where to find/any alternative?

    Hi all, Apologies if there is a better thread to which this post should be added. I tend to have difficulty finding pants that fit my build (short/muscular). Many slim fit pants are way too tight in the butt/thigh, and often times straight fit pants are a bit baggier than I prefer in some...

    Allen Edmonds Natural Shell Cordovan Dalton Boots 9.5D

    This is a beautiful pair of Allen Edmonds shell cordovan Dalton seconds that have been worn twice to work (indoor office). They have been cared for with shoe trees and with Saphir Renovateur/brushing. As far as what makes them seconds, from what I can tell: -slightly sloppy punching/brogueing...

    Less expensive white formal braces

    Looking to buy a pair of white formal braces, but I'm not about to drop $80+ on the Thurstons. Can anyone recommend a reasonably decent looking alternative that's not so pricey? And yes, I realize that for some of you with money burning holes in your pockets, 80 bucks for these seems like...

    Which is more appropriate/"correct"? In case you need some context, it's for my wedding.

    Laces to wear with black patent leather balmorals?

    It's my understanding that generally people recommend flat black silk laces. I've looked around and can't find a pair less than ~$40 or so and just can't justify spending that much on laces unfortunately. As I've probably made clear on several threads, I was in the market for shoes for my...

    Black plain-toe balmoral options <$300

    I wanted to see if I could compile a list of black plain-toe bals and see if there are options I haven't considered. I'm in the market for such a shoe but would not like to break the bank at this point. Anyone have any good ones? As I've mentioned several times in passing on other threads...

    To Boot NY patent leather balmoral? (Caine)

    Admittedly, I know very little about To Boot New York and their products. I am in the market for a shoe to wear with my tuxedo, and have a unique opportunity to purchase these shoes at ~50% off (~$220). http://www.zappos.com/to-boot-new-york-caine As far as patent leather bals go...

    Help me pick out a tie

    So, at the risk of sounding redundant, I am currently in the process of ordering a tuxedo from Indochino and will of course follow up with pictures to see how they did. I purchased the $320 deal for a suit(tux/shirt/tie combo. Unfortunately, the only black bow-tie they have is a pre-tied one...

    MTM Tuxedo, help me make sure I'm all set

    So I'm attempting the Indochino Tuxedo thing (bought the deal through The Daily Hookup) and just want to make sure I'm choosing the "correct" options. [And please try to refrain from telling me how terrible IC is . . . I'm willing to give them a try, and for someone on a pretty strict budget at...

    Sales rep: "Peak or Shawl lapel tuxedos are outdated"

    I was browsing in Macy's for a variety of things with my fiancee a few days ago, and I wandered into the suit/blazer area just to check out what they had in terms of tuxedos (I already knew what models were sold online, but wanted to see what was actually carried in the store and possibly just...

    Wedding Tux: Shawl vs. Peak for broad/muscular shoulders

    So I've read conflicting reports on which lapel type on a tux looks "better" for someone with broad shoulders. I'm 30 years old, and ~5'7" and 175lbs, as a result of years of regular weightlifting/bodybuilding. I wear size 42S but with a 32 waist, so it's definitely a tapered V-torso look...
