    What is this thing called?

    You see that belt or strap connected to each side of the vents of the jacket. What is that called and what purpose does it serve?

    The perfect shoes to go with $1000 "designer" ripped/torn/stained/shredded jeans

    These are the perfect shoes for those men who love wearing $1000+ so-called "designer" jeans that are ripped/torn/stained/shredded/****-upon and that not even homeless winos would want to wear in public while begging for spare change...

    Sport shirt sleeves too long: shrink or have tailor shorten them?

    I have many long sleeve sport shirts, the sleeves of which are too long for me anywhere from 1.5 inches to about 2.5 inches. Since these are sport shirts and not dress shirts, the sleeve lengths increase as the size of the neck increases. These are all size large (16.5 neck) and the sleeve...

    Do I need to wear a cummerbund?

    I have a new tuxedo (slimmer fit jacket with flat front pants) and the pants have the satin braid down the legs but not a satin waistband. The shirt style is spread collar with pleated front, the black bow tie is tie-it-yourself, and the button-tab braces are black. I have two pairs of shoes...

    Need help with sizing for velvet slippers

    Hello, I am requesting help in determining what size to order for velvet slippers. The shop which sells them is in England and I am, sadly, not in England; in fact, I am on another continent and that means I am unable to try on any for proper sizing. For those of you who own velvet...

    How to put on/take off monk strap shoes?

    I've never worn monk straps before and was wondering, when putting them on and taking them off, if one would need to unbuckle the strap each time? Thanks.

    Removing shoulder pads from a sport jacket?

    I know this can be done but was wondering if it would look good. The jacket is a worsted wool, not a tweed or anything heavy like that. Was thinking of having a tailor remove the pads just to have a different look. Any thoughts, anyone? Thanks.

    Barker Black v. Barker? What are the differences?

    I would presume BARKER BLACK and BARKER shoes are not the same? I would think they're the same company but obviously the quality and design of the shoes are different . . . Would this be correct? Any insights on this one, please? Thanks.

    What shoes to wear with charcoal wool flannel CARGO dress pants?

    Perhaps it was a mistake buying these pants--dark charcoal grey in wool flannel with cargo pockets on the sides--but I gotta keep them because they're already hemmed. I'm at a loss as to what sort of shoes to wear with them. The cargo pockets are really throwing me off when it comes to...

    What is the SF consensus on hidden button-down collars?

    I remember seeing this style quite a bit in the '90s but I still see the occasional one every now and then. I'm not a fan of the hidden button-down personally but I just want to know what others here think about it. Thanks.

    JONATHAN LAKE necktie . . . Anyone heard of this brand?

    I picked up a JONATHAN LAKE necktie today at a Goodwill for $3.99. The fabric content label says "HANDMADE, ALL SILK" but it doesn't state the country of manufacture. The tie width is 3.25" and it's a thick silk twill with a printed paisley pattern. The silk twill almost feels like ancient...

    Non-vented jackets out of style?

    Yes, we all know side vents are de rigeur right now--and always have been, I suppose--but seriously, what is the current status of the non-vented jackets? Can they still be worn without shame and embarrassment? Are any designers making non-vented jackets anymore? Thank you for any and all...

    How do you keep your white pants clean?

    I wore a pair of white cotton chinos the other day and the hems were covered in dust and other grime by the end of the day. The hems are still grimy and dirty after laundering. I have a feeling these pants can never be restored to their original lustrous white. How do you keep your white pants...
