    Which Blue Suede Shoes?

    I love suede shoes (and wear them almost exclusively) but I think it's time to diversify from all the brown shades and have decided I want a pair of Navy suede shoes. Which ones? Sutors are $300 from Ian D. and BBs are $373 on sale now. Mantellassi chukkas (I have several like this in Brown...

    EG Shoos coming to Toronto - Finally!!

    For those who care: I was at the RBC Plaza this morning and walked into to the Robert Jones boutique. I looked at the shoes and the manager was very proud to announce that they would soon be carrying EG shoes. About a dozen (mainly 888 last) styles arriving in the next few weeks, and a trunk...

    Pirate Radio

    If you haven't seen the movie yet, go inhale some good medicinal herbs and watch it. Thank me later. If you don't lol and think it's the best rock movie ever, you're either a lame, old curmudgeon or a clueless noob. With the exception of the somewhat weak ending, the movie was awesome. Philip...

    PSA: RL Elephant Print leather tie case $62

    http://www.ralphlauren.com/product/i...uctId=2878161& These look a lot like the Purple Label ones they were selling a couple of years ago with the glenplaid lining for $500. I doubt these are made in England though since they say 'Imported' and retail is $225. Not sure about the elephants but...

    Harry Rosen is a real gentleman

    I met Harry Rosen this weekend and thought I'd share the story and some observations: I have a great Samuelsohn navy sportcoat in very soft wool/cashmere from Rosen that happens to be unlined. The absence of a lining means that there is very little stitching attaching the side pockets (only on...

    Am I nuts for buying the same ties in different colors?

    I've recently bought several different ties in the same pattern but different colors because I liked them so much. (I also have some knits, grenadines, flannel, cashmere, and cotton ties in different colors but they are solids so it's not the same). Does everyone else do this? I am now...

    Shawl Collar Cardigans

    I often wear cardigans in the winter, mostly zippered ones, and vests too and I've been thinking lately of getting a shawl collar cardigan. I'm still not sure how much I'll wear it and if I'll like it so I want to try them out by buying a more inexpensive one rather than shelling out big bucks...

    Roof repair question

    So my house needs a new roof. Pretty standard asphalt shingle job (no flat roof) and I've gotten a few quotes. My question concerns removing prior layers of shingles rather than re-shingling on top. Most guys quoted between $8k and $12k to remove two (maybe even three) older layers of shingles...

    Louis Boston to relocate from Newbury St.

    A tale of two brands or the growing influence of SF on menswear

    I found the juxtaposition of these two headlines in today's DNR News interesting. Perhaps evidence that there is hope for the future as men seek out better tailored clothes than what MW is offering, and that perhaps SF plays a small part in that process Polo Profits Beat Expectations Men’s...
