    A few beginner suit questions

    Hello folks...need to buy a suit for my wedding and I am in dire need of help. I am very tall and slim (6'5" 170 lbs), 29 yrs old. I am trying to find an excellent looking slim fitting suit. I have a suit I got about 10 years ago at Men's Wearhouse, but it is WAY to boxy and big for me, and I...

    Women's style - blouse for a busty woman?

    I thought maybe you guys would have some ideas. My girlfriend is quite well endowed (34 E), but fairly slim around the waist. She owns no blouses, since it's been impossible for her to find a button down shirt that fits through the chest but is tailored in the waist. Shirts that fit her chest...

    Jeans to balance out the bottom for a skinny guy?

    I'm tall and skinny. My girlfriend says I need a slight flare to the bottom of my jeans (like a boot cut) to balance that out. I agree it looks much better when I have jeans that do this. The problem is, all that fabric usually just ends up flapping around my ankles. I think it's because I have...

    The Lanky Man's Redemption

    As a tall and lanky man (6'4" 165lbs) living in the USA and in possession of a budding consciousness of fashion, I've been positivel terrorized by the clothing of the mainstream. I've probably spent thousands of dollars on jeans that were too baggy and dress shirts with sleeves too short and...

    Outdoorwear / coat questions (tall, thin)

    I'm 6'4" 175 lbs, i.e. quite tall and wiry (I prefer that to "skinny" since I have some muscle definition, lol). Finally found a car-coat that's well fitting, from Banana Republic. It's Medium-Tall, and I would need to have the sleeves extended about 1" (can they do that on wool coats?), but...

    Winter coats for the tall and skinny?

    After wearing my North Face jacket all of last year, I am really thinking I need to buy something more "adult" for this winter. However being 6'4" and 165 lbs, I find most coats are way too capacious and not long enough in the arms. Any suggestions on a winter jacket that may...

    casual footwear for fall/winter

    I have some Onitsuka Tigers, in white with blue stripes, but they don't seem especially appropriate for jeans with sweaters or long sleeved shirts. Any suggestions? Casual...comfortable...relatively cheap...preferably an earth tone instead of white. Help me out!

    Essential beachwear?

    I'm going to be in Hawaii for a week. I've never been to a tropical place before, and the only swimsuit I have is the lycra one I use for triathlons. What, in your mind, is essential beachwear for a tropical vacation? I'm thinking: White Linen Pants, like this...

    Best electric razor?

    I am tired of shaving with a blade. The cuts, the bumps, ugh. I want to move to electric, or at least have the option to use electric once in a while. I want to know the BEST electric razor that money can buy.

    Swimsuits?

    I'm going to Hawaii for 10 days in October. Right now the only swimsuit I have is my triathlon apparel, basically male lingerie. I'm looking for recommendations for a swimsuit for the beach. I'm 6'4", 165lbs, really skinny, 6-pack abs. What do you think would look good without looking...

    urgent fashion-idiot advice needed (with pics)

    Here's the deal guys. I'm a fashion moron. I am gradually learning, through the help I've gotten on this forum. I am going out on Saturday night, and I want to look as best I can with the clothes I have in my closet (since I can't buy any more - OTR never fits me). My primary questions from the...

    Letting out the sleeves possible?

    I just bought a black linen jacket online for a very good price ($79). It's not bad, but the sleeves could stand to be let out about an inch. In general is this possible? Also...how do you feel about a black jacket with indigo wash blue jeans (and a light-ish - white or tan - shirt)

    one pair of casual shoes - what color?

    My brown hush puppies are wearing out, so I want to get a new pair of casual shoes to wear with jeans and anything from henleys to t-shirts to untucked dress shirts. I was thinking the Diesel Remy's or Mosleys. The only thing is, what color is appropriate to get, that could be worn with...

    Proper care of cotton garments?

    I just bought a cotton t-shirt, long sleeved t-shirt, and collared t-shirt that fit me just about perfectly. I'm greatly worried about washing them, because I seem to have an incredible knack for shrinking clothing. Here's how I clean my clothes: 1) Wash on cold/cold with extra rinse. 2)...

    Help with my first jacket

    I'm working on buying my first ever jacket. I am skinny and have a nice pair of slim fit jeans that I would want to wear it with, so my biggest fear is that the jacket will be "too big" up top and seem billowy compared to the jeans. I would also like to wear the jacket with slacks and a button...

    Good shops for the tall & skinny in London, England?

    Background: I'm 6'4" 175 lbs, and have a hell of a time finding shirts that are slim enough yet have long enough arms. Anyway, I'm going to be in London for a while, and it occurs to me that the potential for shops with clothes that would fit me, is way higher there than in my current podunk...
