    Dear everyone, I was in Munich this week on vacation and I stopped by the Shoe Passion store near Marienplatz. On display were some beautiful Heinrich Dinkelacker shoes for sale that I tried on.

    Shoes, Shorts, and Summer sans Sneakers and Sandals

    Regretfully, the time for warm weather is upon us. I say regretfully, as I find a lot of style options are limited in the summer. In effect, it's hard not to look like a jerk, especially if one is trying to dress for the weather and it's hot enough to warrant shorts. What are some stylish...

    Differences in Men's Hat Quality?

    Dear everyone, I've recently been interested in looking at men's hats. I've noticed that the price range for fur felt hats range from around 200 to 1500 dollars. What makes for such a radical difference in price? What would be the advantage over the 1500 dollar vs. the 200 dollar hat? Might...

    Indo-chino mto dress shirt quality?

    Gentlemen, How would you rate the quality of indo-chino made to measure dress shirts? They offer a very good price and I can get fitted nearby, but I'm concerned they aren't especially good given how inexpensive they are. Plus, they are made in China so I am concerned they're not especially...

    Deciding on a Tie Knot: Factors to Consider?

    Dear gentlemen, When deciding on what tie knot to wear, what are some of the factors that ought to be considered? For instance, I recently noticed a colleague of mine is a fan of full windsors, but given his narrow neck and shoulders, it looks comically big on him. I imagine, then, that...

    Gentlemen, Anyone know where Wish.com stole this shoe image from? Because I am 99% sure that this is stolen, and I feel like I've seen a similar display of shoes next to accessories, but I can't remember the brand. Anyone know?

    Gentlemen, I recently bought a very nice tie clip; however, it seems unwilling to stay put. I've connected the tie clip to my dress shirt and to my wide and narrow parts of my tie, but the result has been consistent with it falling off. Any suggestions or should I just send it back before I...

    Dear gentlemen, When shopping for ties of the proper length, what physical factors primarily contribute to the tie's length? I'd assume neck size, length of the torso, and belly protrusion (a very heavy set man will need a longer tie than will a thin man) all contribute, correct? Is there a...

    I have been doing some extensive shoe shopping and purchasing lately, and I have come to ask a question regarding fit in regards to length/width. My general experience with most American shoes (AE and Alden) is that I normally fit into an 11.5 EEE. This is my "natural size"; however, I have...
