    APC New Standard sz 32 raw blue denim

    I bought these and never wore them, not even once. Never washed, either (obviously!). Just like every other pair of new APC Japanese selvedge jeans, these are stiff as can be. Size 32 - APC sizing is a bit off, so you probably should know how APC fits you before ordering them. These are the...

    Know a good place to sell a watch?

    Oof, probably a strange question, I know. I've got a friend who needs to sell a watch (that was given to them), and get as much as possible for it. (It's a brand new Breitling Chrono Cockpit, if it matters). Any advice out there for such a task? I considered telling them "ebay" but it seems...

    RM Williams Cedar Boot Trees, sz XXL

    I've hardly used these at all, they still smell cedar-y and are in new condition. Size XXL fits my 12H Craftsman (that's AUS sizing) and the sizes around it. You can see what they look like at www.bootsonline.com.au (just select "Mens' & Women's Boots" then any of the toe shapes that show up...

    Moratorium on CF-related posts until Carlo replies.

    I am calling for members to express their interest in a moratorium on CF-related posts until Carlo himself posts a substantive reply, apology, or disavowal for what's been going on in his company's name, or 1 week (whichever is shorter). I'm not asking for a big discussion, though I can imagine...

    Levi's jean lawsuits makes front page NYT

    Includes slideshow! (but nothing good if you're hoping to see the next great pair...) http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/29/business/29jeans.html Basically, a story of how a company missed opportunity after opportunity. Pretty sad, but they had every advantage a company could have. There's a...

    Who makes great cords?

    I'm looking for a great pair of cords, in dark brown. Requirements: straight leg, little visible branding, in a 34 length. I've seen the J.Crew cords, they just aren't particularly well made, and am hoping to do better. Basically, what is the equivalent of my APC Rescue's, only in dark brown...

    Navy suit: solid or nailhead?

    For the "one, basic suit" are there arguments for one over the other? The only thing this suit is *not* going to have to do is interviews. I've started to feel like solid navy is a bit severe, but am interested in arguments either way. Thanks, Min

    Translate Ben Silver C&J sizing?

    I see Ben Silver offers some C&J shoes in wider widths, but does anyone know how this translates to C&J's sizing in their catalogs? For example, in the C&J catalog, the Weymouth is available in E width only. Ben Silver offers it in two widths, "D" and "E", but it's unclear which C&J width this...

    "Regain" brogues, approx size 12E (worn)

    I have a beautiful pair of shoes, made by "Regain", that i bought in New York in the early 90's. Before I ebay them I was hoping someone from the forum would be interested. My style does not include wingtips very often (hence the low wear), and my feet have gotten a little bit larger since I...

    Clothes from "The Sting"

    This movie came on last night, its been years since I've seen it. I'm not sure who did the costume design, but that movie is like a catalog of outstanding menswear. Incredible suits, and they have a surprisingly modern cut to them. Google "the sting redford newman" and then hit the "Images" tab...

    Actual Sartorial Nightmare

    Last night I had the following dream: I was getting dressed for work, and went to get a pair of brown shoes. When I started to put them on, I saw that they were not the brown Santonis I had expected. Instead, they were a pair of "Sketchers" in what appeared to be a light tan ostrich. I am not...

    cloth weight & construction for three-season suit?

    I'm about to have a suit made in a relatively open-weaved cloth that should be wearable for Spring/Summer/Fall (and possibly Winter), and was hoping some of you more experienced suit-wearers might give me the benefit of your knowledge. The issue is the following: I like the weave and hand of...

    "Bzzz Marketing" and Johnston&Murphy

    [This is more about &quot;the selling of clothes&quot; than &quot;clothing details&quot;, so read on if you are interested in the former] Last night I read the article in the New York Times Magazine (from two weeks ago) on &quot;Bzzz Marketing&quot;. For those who have never heard the term...

    shirts for sale: zegna sportswear & armani

    I have some shirts that I'd like to move out of my closet. I hope they can find a good home and get some use. They are either unworn (i.e. never worn, never washed) or lightly worn (in which case I say how many times). The 4 Ermenegildo Zegna shirts are all from winter 2002, from the sportswear...
