    New Engineered Garments FW 2012 Round Collar Shirt - Navy Polka Dot - Large

    Brand New (no tags) EG FW 2012 Round Collar Shirt in Navy Polka dot, size large. Purchased from Inventory early this season for $225 + shipping. Tried on a few times but it never fit right (fits a hair smaller than most Large EG shirts of late). This was one of my favorite items from this...

    In Seattle one night

    I'm staying at the Hotel Andra in Belltown tomorrow night. In town for business, getting in late on Tuesday night - catching the red eye on Wednesday. I know nothing about Seattle. Any good restaurants or bars nearby that I should check out? Nothing too expensive ($40 or less w/ a beer or...

    Common Projects - Achilles Low - White - Sz 44 / 11

    No pics yet, but I have a lightly used (worn twice) pair of Common Projects Achilles low for sale in white, size 44. Doesn't get much better than this - a real staple. I'd keep them for myself but I'm putting a down payment on an apt next month and really need to curb my costs. I'd say 9.5/10...

    "man" facial in NYC.... Pause

    I'm getting married in a few weeks, and while I have good skin, my fiancà thought it'd be good for me to get a facial before the wedding to make sure I'm looking my best for pics and ****. Are there any good spots in NYC that focus on men's treatments and aren't too feminine? I understand that's...

    Beard Trim/Shave in NYC?

    I've kept a beard for about 3 years and I want to keep it tidy for my upcoming wedding. I trim the neck and cheek areas with my Gilette razor, but I want to have a barber shape the edges to keep it as flattering as possible. Do you guys have any recommendations for barbers like that in the city...

    Club Monaco: Adventures in decent clothing and horrible marketing

    I was in Montreal this weekend and had an unfortunate red wine accident which rendered a white Uniqlo oxford shirt useless. This was from about 3 years ago when Uniqlo oxfords were a great item (unlike the crap current versions), so I was quite upset and hit the streets near my hotel to find a...

    Going out in Montreal

    I'm in Montreal for the weekend with my friends for a bachelor party and aside from the strip clubs, we're trying to find a good nightlife scene. Our hotel is out of way, near the arena where the Canadians play (Rue de la Montagne), and the bars around here seem built for a 40's singles scene...

    Tuxedo: Peak vs Semi-notch?

    I'm having a tuxedo made and have been told that for shorter, stocky guys (I'm 5"8, ~190lb), peak lapels should really be avoided. I was advised to go with a semi-notch lapel. What do you guys think? I've heard some traditionalists say that tuxes should all have peak lapels, but I've...

    Steven Alan and Dockers!

    Seems like a great fit to me. I'm excited to see how this plays out. Here's to hoping there will be options for the size 36w and up crowd. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/02/fa...ml?ref=fashion

    Best natural deodorants

    I'm looking to get off that aluminum and onto something that will a: not give me cancer, and b: not stain my shirts. What natural deodorants/antiperspirants are out there that won't leave my smelling like gym socks and keep my pits somewhat dry? What do you use? Feel free to share your...

    Who "makes" Black Fleece?

    I'm shopping for a tuxedo for my upcoming wedding, and found an amazing tux jacket at the Black Fleece store on Bleecker St. The jacket fits perfectly, and I love the look of it, only problem is the pants are not available anywhere in my size. The fabric is very unique, and I'm thinking of going...

    Help with a custom suit in NYC

    I'm looking to get a suit and tux done up, and had a few NYC tailors in stock that have recently slipped my mind. There's one in particular, who I've heard is a great go-to and makes suits for around $1000 and up. He's been featured in several magazines and local papers, and the business was...

    Made With Rest

    Not sure if anyone's been to the Made With Rest store in NoLita, but its worth stopping by. I'm pretty sure that Mark McNairy owns the store, and it reeks of his aesthetics (this is a good thing), mixed with some light Rasta influences (tank tops, khakhi shirts, dickies-esque pants - all made...

    Buttons in NYC?

    I have a 2 button blue blazer from Brooks that came w/ brass buttons, which I quickly swapped out for dark plastic. Now I'm thinking that it'd be cool to spruce up the look and swap these out for light-to-medium horn buttons, but I have no idea where to find them. Are there any good textile...

    Gifts for grooms party?

    I'm getting married this fall and would like to get gifts for the guys in my grooms party. Something between $50-$100 is my target, and I'd like to avoid obvious, cheesy things like keychains or ties for them to wear in the wedding. Unique and interesting/cool is my MO. I was thinking a Jack...

    Honeymoons

    My fiance and I are getting married this fall and we're planning out honeymoon. What are some recommendations from the lovers out here? We're looking for something fairly exotic where we can mix up beach/relaxing with some mild-to-moderate adventurous activities (hiking, fishing, etc)...
