    Borrelli Shirts on Vente-Privee for $98 each

    I got mine today and they are spectacular. Had I known they would be this good I would have gotten way more. Lots of handwork, all chunk MOP buttons, beautifully wrapped and boxed, little booklets. They look like full mainline to me! Fit is the same as other Borrelli I have. Slim arms...

    Reasonable Price for Topys?

    I usually topy my shoes myself. I would pay $20 but not $35 to have it done on a pair of shoes. Takes me about 30 minutes per pair but I have a grinder to make the new sole nice and flush with the leather and I use edge dressing. My toes still wear pretty fast and I have to apply the plastic...

    question about darlton wingtips sizing

    Normal size. Even if they are a big snug they will settle in. Mine took a long time to break in but I'm glad I didn't size down. I'm an 11.

    What's in YOUR wallet?

    Have you ever applied to and got a job? Employers require their newly hired employees to come in with their SS Card. No employer has ever asked to see my SS card. Tho they did run background checks.

    Replacing sole with original on high-end shoes

    I just noticed a dime sized hole in the center of my CJ for polo Darltons' sole. I can't believe I've worn them through this quickly. The outer layer of sole is worn through and there a cracked leather midsole material showing through. I have over 30 pairs of shoes and have maybe worn these...

    suit jacket has wrinkle/fold under collar

    The tailor has to "lower the collar" I have square shoulders and had to get the collars lowered on all my suits. Some tailors find this a much more difficult job than others. I've had to have a few redone twice to get it right. $30 is the most you should pay.

    Let's see your cordovan shoes ...

    Alden for Brooks. The shine on these is unbreakable. Grenson for Paul Stuart And more grenson for PS. We have seen these before. They are awesome. I have some Darlton's too, which I have to say are close to my favorite shoes ever. But I have a fat heel and can deal with the tight...

    Mother of Pearl buttons - How to recognise?

    This is my preferred method. Tapping them on your teeth is 100% accurate if you have any nerves at all. Plastic buttons don't come close to the sharp click that MOP buttons do.

    Help Me Pick a North Face Jacket

    I sent my 10 year old North Face Gore TEx jacket back to NF because the seams had come untaped after many, many years. They completely retaped the seams and patched all the holes for free. Awesome.

    Very Tent Like. BB has just recently released a slim fit luxury line though which is good news. These are my go-to shirts. I usually have them taken in, so this is awesome news.

    Charles de Gaulle airport shops?

    I was there a couple of weeks ago. There are LOTS of Altea ties for 25 euros, and Polo polos for 35 euros. The Hermes wasn't on sale, but everything else was 50-75% off. I contemplated the Altea, but I have so many ties already. Some nice Longchamp at 70% off as well. This is good stuff at a...

    What do you eat for lunch?

    I gorge myself on whatever is in the cafeteria. Pizza, burgers, sammiches, big salads with chicken fingers. Then I have a couple of beers for dinner. Lunch is the main meal of the day. I drink an assload of coffee during the day so no more than two sugar packets for the whole lot.

    The Trance/House/Techno/Electronica Thread!

    Pretty much all I listen to, but I find it hard to get tired of the Paul van Dyk, DJ Tiesto, Paul Oakenfold, Nick Warren, ATB, etc. stuff that appeared during 1999. Sven Väth is great too. Before this it was all the IDM stuff of course, which I almost as much as the trance these days. The...

    Most beautiful song

    Aphex Twin - Avril 14th came to mind immediately Ha! I was going to post Xtal by aphex twin, but I'd put them about equal.

    Clubbing etiquette questions

    When I used to go clubbing it was primarily for the music. My friends and I would plan to see a good DJ spin at a specific club. I did go once with just one friend (a guy) but it wasn't much fun. Usually it was a group of 5 or 6 of us. And yeah, you can strike up a conversation with anyone. But...

    RLBL Suit Critique - Pictures

    That suit looks excellent. Releasing the bottom button solved the fit issues entirely. Near perfect sleeve pitch! I haven't read all the replies but I'm guessing this hasn't had the sleeve length set yet.. Good score.

    Reducing credit card limits

    Amex charge cards are just like debit cards anyway, just with perks and an annual fee. You generally have to pay the bill every month.

    Good wallets

    I had my coach water buffalo wallet stolen after 4 great years. I hate my $10 replacement every time I pull it out.
