    boot brands around 800 dollars

    I've been browsing online a bit, looking at lace-up boots, and I can't seem to find anything between the price range of Aldens/Trickers (around 500-600) and Lobbs, Crispins, etc. which are all well over 1000. Is there anything a little nice than those first two, but still under 1000? Also, is...

    Distance between buttons and cloth's edge on a sport coat

     You're right. The only thing that will be off center is the button. the center front lines on each piece of the jacket (the left and right front pieces) will each be pulled an equal amount in opposite directions and everything else will remain symmetrical. It might be a little weird...

    How do you store suspenders?

    I have had my three pairs draping over a hanger in my closet for a while, and it's already messy and annoying. Just got two more pairs in the mail. Is there an easy/neat way to put them away?

    Fitness is the Best Style- Building Your Wardrobe Around Your Body

    While I agree with OP that being fit is just as important as clothing in how you look, I think he has missed something. For a lot of people, an interest in clothing is not entirely based on how you look to other people. A suit that is tailored to your form perfectly is an enjoyable thing...

    How does an SA afford to wear expensive retail clothes?

    Thanks for the info guys. Now I want to work at Tom Ford.

    How does an SA afford to wear expensive retail clothes?

    I was in Tom Ford in Vegas a little while ago, trying on a suit that was way too expensive for me, and the sales associate I was talking to said it's the same one he wears. I didn't even bother looking at the price tag, but I know his suits at around 5k and up, and I think most places require...

    Allen Edmonds Fall 2011 Catalogue

    Dalton and Fifth Street boots look pretty cool.

    Look at me!

    Well! I've thought it over for a few days, and you can all go **** yourselves. You're outfit is pretty bad in my opinion, but the fact that you don't give a **** what anybody thinks makes it a little better.

    Green suit

    I'm a tailoring/sewing student, and I made myself a green suit. It's pretty dark and often gets mistaken for gray at night, which is when I'm usually wearing it. I think a couple shades lighter would have been better, but it's a fine line between too dark to be noticeably green and too bright to...

    What to make from this material?

    Make a suit with it. You would get many comments. If only I had another half yard or so!

    What to make from this material?

    Thanks for the input guys. I'm still leaning towards a vest and probably something for the lady. I don't remember if I have 2 or 3 yards.... I'll update this when I get around to sewing something with it, but I still have a suit or two in between now and then.

    What to make from this material?

    Too late for a return? It does seem a bit over the top. Do you participate in any hobby for which you might need some sort of bag? Definitely too late for a return, and I like it so much I want to make something out of it. A bag might be cool with a little black leather trim, but I'll have to...

    What to make from this material?

    Well I've never made a hat before, so that's probably out of the question. It's too thick to do a tie I think, but I hadn't thought of just making a scarf. That would be easy and probably the least FU way to use the fabric. Even though it isn't quite the right sort of fabric for trousers, I'm...

    What to make from this material?

    Okay, so you guys are probably just going to think I'm a weirdo, but I figured I would attempt to get some input anyways. I'm a tailoring student, and a while ago I saw this (the skirt fabric) on project runway. I got all excited and had to have it, but now that I have a few yards I realize it's...

    These are the most ridiculous shoes I've ever seen.

    Great thread. Thanks! Any time. I hope to soon be a valued and well known member of this community.

    These are the most ridiculous shoes I've ever seen.

    Did they take their stock photo of the size 15s, or is Barney's really trying to sell $300 clown shoes? http://www.barneys.com/Lace-Up-Boot/...efault,pd.html Either way, it made me laugh a little, so I guess I don't mind so much.

    Tie Advice

    Good tie width depends on the rest of your outfit and how young or edgy you want to come off. If you are a fit 20something with a fitted shirt that has a narrow collar, slim pants and slim lapels (if you plan to wear a jacket at all), then go ahead and wear the 2.5 inch. Otherwise, the 3 inch is...

    Understanding 'balance'

    I'm a pattern making/tailoring student and the way I understand it is this; If you have too little fabric (vertically) in the front or back of your jacket, then it will sort of pull the whole jacket off center. If you were to just grasp the fabric at the chest of your jacket and pull down, it...

    Dior ties

    I don't think he meant to imply that they were fake, just that for $10 dollars, it might not matter that much. Used ties can be had pretty cheap sometimes, although I've no idea of the authenticity of this particular tie.
