    How would you describe a good value?

    How would you describe a good value product proposition? I'm not talking about ebay or thrift store finds or sale items, but what would you say a brand/product has to do to be considered offering consumers a good value? I was thinking about Borrelli being considered a good value, even at full...

    My Vass Purchase

    Well, thanks to the generous offer by Gabor and Vass to extend the special Sartorial Excellence prices to those of us who were unable to attend, my wallet is much lighter. However, my closet should be the beneficiary. What do you all think? Here's what I ended up buying: The Wingtip Reversed...

    Navy Blue Windowpane Odd Jacket

    I just had my second fitting for a navy blue odd jacket that has a light blue windowpane pattern. I'd guess the panes are squares of about 1.5 inches or so. As I was standing there getting fitted and happy at how great the jacket looked, I realized that I don't quite have a great feel for what...

    Shirt "comfort"

    When you guys think of "comfort" in a shirt, meaning, "this shirt is comfortable," what dimensions or criteria do you use to determine if it's "comfortable?" To me, comfort is defined by it's "feel," that is, it's softness. It is also determined by fit...

    Shoe Question-Square versus Beveled Waist

    I'm about to pull the trigger on a pair of Vass shoes (thanks to Gabor for extending the pricing program.). To save Gabor the time, what is the difference between a beveled and a square waist? Excuse my ignorance.

    Trouser recommendation

    Esteemed colleagues of the SF Fora, It is that time of year where I have once again taken a hard, critical look at my closet. This year, I have determined that I am severely lacking variety in the dress trouser department (I also am lacking in the odd jacket department, but that'll be a 3 year...

    Pleasant surprise yesterday at my tailor's

    I had decided to get an odd jacket made by my tailor and picked the fabric out 6 weeks ago. I picked out a navy blue fabric with a lighter blue window pane pattern. It was a super 150 fabric from the Tip Top vendor. I had a suit made by my tailor in the fall, and at that time, he told me that he...

    Question about a Brioni tie I saw today

    My wife and I were walking in the mall today and stopped by Neiman's to check out the ties. As we were looking at the Brioni ties, we saw a strange looking quilt like patterned tie (to be truthful, I found it hideous) It was a very thick, four or seven fold (I think 4, though I didn't want to...

    C&J Weymouth

    I recently started another job that is the dreaded business casual. I came from a business formal environment, and my poor suits, captoes, and C&J Weymouth's have collected dust in the closet. So today, I decided to wear the Weymouth's even though I was not in a suit. I did wear a nice...

    Speaking of Kiton shoes...

    I was looking on Kiton's website (which they have redone since the last time I was on it) a few minutes ago, and took a look at their shoe collection. Holy cow. What gorgeous shoes. If you are a shoe person, check them out. I haven't taken Italian shoes very seriously, because I found most of...

    Question about other apparel related forums

    First off, this forum and AskAndy are two of my favorite websites. The knowledge gained here is invaluable. I can't tell you how much I've learned over the past year and how much the quality of my clothing has increased by virtue of the mavens on this board. To all of you, I say thank you. And...

    Anyone watch West Wing last night?

    Does anyone here watch the West Wing? Well, two things happened last night. First, Leo McGarry, who is always dressed very well, might have died. He always had terrific DB suits with a very colorful pocket square. Second, the "Israeli PM" was on the show last night. Did anyone see the...

    President bush's mystery back bulge, revisited

    Since it was brought up on this board last week, I thought you all would get a kick out of this from today's Meet the Press: MR. RUSSERT: Before we go, Mr. Mehlman, clear up this mystery that has been raging on the Internet. This was the first debate, George Bush at the podium, the bulge in the...

    Bespoke in atlanta, part iii

    Well, I went in for the 3rd and final fitting of my bespoke suit last Thursday. I had already tried it on a week before last, so I thought I wasn't going to be surprised when I picked it up. Well, I was wrong. While I have many suits that I believe fit me very well, this suit is easily the best...

    Help with shoe selection

    I'm one of those folks that hates [HATES.] to wear black shoes with blue suits. Well, occasionally, I am forced to do it. I am in a wedding in November. The wedding starts at 6, which will be dark by then. The groomsmen are wearing dark suits of their choice. Mine is navy blue with light blue...

    Isaia 7-fold ties

    I was at the mall today and saw some new Isaia 7-fold ties out, which were quite nice. The only thing was, on the back of the tie, down at the fold, was a sewn on label that said "7-Fold." It was angled like the Kiton label is on their ties. This was the first time I've seen this. I...

    Naughtycodes.com

    I check naughtycodes.com periodically for discount codes if I'm going to purchase something on line. Sometimes they have good codes there. I was going to buy a suit brush from BrooksBrothers.com and checked naughtycodes. There's one on there that expires tomorrow "FRIEND8" that gives...

    Atlanta bespoke, part ii (longish)

    This morning I went back to my tailor, Mario Bosco, in Atlanta for my second fitting of my bespoke suit. To recap, I ordered a navy blue suit with light blue pinstripes. (I hadn't checked the fabric manufacturer when I was in there the 1st time, but I did check this time. We had chosen a Super...
