    Working With Ties (casual wear)

    I especially like a zippered cardigan with a tie. Or a casual jacket, perhaps a wool milsurp or one that's styled like a classic denim jacket (not necessarily made from denim). Also consider wearing the tie loosened, with the top button of your shirt undone. Again, the idea is to avoid the...

    Stone island, c.p. company

    CP Company is a great innovator when it comes to fabrics and details in their jackets. The cut is generous as LA Guy mentioned, and the rest of their line strikes me as mostly run of the mill sportswear, although I have a couple knits that I like. I actually bought and kept that waxed cotton...

    Custom T-Shirt Webpages

    How's the screenprinting quality on those? Thanks, Dan I'm not the best judge of this, but I can say the prints have held up quite well after many hot wash/dry cycles. They've actually proved more durable than the prints on my Threadless shirts. Both sites use AA blanks.

    Can these shoes be worn with baggy jeans/khakis?

    The toe box may be low profile like you say, but the heavy stitching where the upper meets the sole makes them look very substantial; I too think they'd look great with baggy jeans/pants.

    Shoes: I wear a 10D, will a 10.5B give me problems?

    If you're still concerned about the fit, a tongue pad can be very useful in a shoe that's too long.

    New at Jantzen - Irish Linen

    Any idea if ASAP means the shirt is finished and will be sent out to you shortly, or does this mean, "yes, we have received your order and we hope to start making it soon"? The latter has been the case for my 2 most recent orders.

    A few quick Jantzen questions if you don't mind.

    Some of the fabric names state "Soft Cotton." You may want to try one of those.

    C&J Mystery Monks

    I came across these old but virtually unworn monkstraps from C&J. Inside the heel the word "Welbeck" is written underneath "Crockett and Jones." However, according to Plal, the Welbeck is now a black semibrogue: http://www.plal.com/new/images/cj/cj0506_2.jpg On the side of the sock this is...

    Big Pony on Ebay

    Fakes tend to fit like a blanket. And does anyone ever really want a fake anything if they can help it? Real Polo-RL shirts tend to fit like blankets too. And if my standards have already fallen so far that I'm looking to show off an oversized pony on my chest, then I don't think I'd be so...

    Big Pony on Ebay

    I never understood why people even care if something as ostentatiously logoed as this is authentic or not. If the only distinctive feature it has to offer is that logo, does it matter if it really came from the actual Polo factory or not?

    New at Jantzen - Irish Linen

    Yeah, I found it on the Jantzen main page yesterday. I'm also curious about the price - maybe this linen isn't "leftovers" like his cotton fabrics. I definitely plan on ordering one, but the weather will probably have cooled off enough by the time it comes that I'll be wearing mostly warmer...

    Shirt arm length problem

    If you want to overpay for the quality you'll receive, you can try the designer route. A lot of continental designers cut their shirts long and slim.

    protein powders.. yuck

    If taste is your main concern, stick with whey protein concentrate and isolate and stay away from anything with hydrolyzed whey/whey peptides (which are bitter) or casein (tastes like paste).

    Ultimate White T-Shirt

    How do they fit? What size do you get? I wear a large in American Apparel, and I ordered the same size in Alt A. The Alt A shirts are about the same length but slightly more generous in the sleeves and body. They also don't shrink as much, and I could probably size down if I was looking for a...

    Low Rise vs. High Rise; Tucked in shirt with jeans

    I agree with the blousy part. It's hard to find a dress shirt that doesn't end up spilling over my pants within a few mins. I'm 6'1 and I've usually had a rough time with shirts. I'd have to get something smaller like a 15 with longer sleeves which sometimes isn't so easy to find, and even then...

    Ultimate White T-Shirt

    Now that I've tried Alternative Apparel I can't see myself buying t shirts from anyone else. Even the 100% cotton is unbelievably butter-soft, to say nothing of the various cotton/poly blends they use. Their feel blows away all the designer tees I've had, including Helmut Lang and Margiela, as...

    alternative to adjustable side tabs....

    Known as a buckle- or cinchback, they're also a classic feature on jeans, especially those made for workers. As for non-denim trousers, I've only seen them on designer stuff. I agree they can be uncomfortable.

    fall essentials

    I bought so much cool weather clothing on sale in the spring that I can't think of anything I need for the fall...I'm just waiting for the weather to change so I can bring out that stuff.
