    RLPL shirts (fit question)

    I've had a mixed experience. The mansion's employees seem both helpful and condescending at the same time, if you know what I mean. One of the staff (the really tall guy - Jacob) recognized me from a previous visit and said it was good having me back. Ralph must have designed the Keaton collar...

    Can I wear a RLPL Keaton?

    Probably not ideal, but you obviously like the Keaton so much, so if I were in your position I would get it anyway. I don't think it'll look bad; I think it will look good but not the best collar you can wear.

    RLPL shirts (fit question)

    I saw the RLPL Keaton-collar shirts myself in person today, and agree with the assessment of many forum members: they are really quite stunning. I can totally imagine someone spending his year-end bonus on Purple Label MTM shirts. I am not sure whether the Keaton spread would be attractive when...

    Cheap tailoring

    this is a bit unusual, and i think it calls for serious investigative economic research. the market-based economy is obviously failing here. if anything, you should be paying LOWER rent since the presence of a caucasian in a building significantly increases its prestige.

    Cheap tailoring

    (newyorker @ June 05 2005,08:10) I am very much against bargaining when buying trivial items in developing countries. I see it as fairly hypocritical, since all of us tip 15-20% on restaurant meals in the NYC. We can afford to be more generous in other parts of the world where the extra 50 cents...

    consistency of office dress

    Very much so, and therefore I thought it might not be a good idea to switch back and forth between the american classic and british banker styles ... the trouble is choosing one of them, both of which I like. American classic costs much less, however.

    consistency of office dress

    Perrhaps so, but I think the american classic/preppy look -- which is all about understatement -- is radically different from the pinstripe banker look.

    consistency of office dress

    (newyorker @ June 04 2005,18:14) I don't think it's a good idea to alternate between the two as consistency in dress at the office is something I believe is important. Why? If I wear different styles all the time it would look unauthentic ... like some sort of an actor. It's a matter of...

    consistency of office dress

    Help me think through this a bit ... on the one hand, I admire the purity and simplicity of well-fitting American classics (like a fitted blue oxford, navy chinos, tan belt and tan penny loafers) but on the other hand am drawn to the high-powered, finance look (extreme spread collar, striped...

    Fratelli Rosetti at Filene's?

    I don't know much about them but they seem extraordinarily comfortable.

    RLPL shirts (fit question)

    Hi, a quick question ... are RLPL purple label shirts blousy or fitted? How do they compare to the Polo blue label custom-fit shirts? Thanks.

    Bag for Work

    Gentlemen in otherwise proper attire carrying backpacks and nylon messenger bags are a unique sighting in New York City. Very not European. On the other hand, as a very young employee in Wall Street, I would feel out of place carrying a leather briefcase when (some) senior people are carrying...

    My modest shoe collection

    (newyorker @ May 15 2005,01:17) Do you like them? Not at all. But where are the shoetrees? I would get offended if you weren't so funny But you guys are definitely a patronizing bunch..

    Versatile dress watch

    I was looking for a watch and got distracted. If I had the money, this would be the watch I would buy. Hard to think how a watch could be more beautiful: But back to reality.... Cartier Tank Solo: Cartier Tank Francaise Given that they look so similar, is it worth the price differential (Tank...
