    Lace up boots recommendation (since RRL can't get their act together)

    Here are the boots I would like to buy: http://www.ralphlauren.com/product/index.jsp?productId=65636206&parentPage=family (RRL livingston leather boot, brown) However, it appears they just flip coins or something to determine what colors of these they will make, or if they will make them at...

    Red Wing 4556 Iron Ranger Boots with flannel suit ?

    Comments on wearing these boots: http://www.brooksbrothers.com/Red-Wing-for-Brooks-Brothers-4556-Iron-Ranger-Boots/MH00388,default,pd.html with a thick flannel suit, while in very inclement weather ? Not just cold, but several inches of snow on the ground, etc. I think they look quite good...

    Custom suits by Oxxford at Wingtip San Francisco ... comments ?

    I would like to have a bespoke suit made. I spoke to the people downstairs at wingtip, in san francisco, and the top of their line is a brand called "Oxxford". I see very favorable things written about that brand here on SF, as relate to the quality and workmanship. I also saw some comments...

    Glenlivet XXV is ... terrible ??

    Two and a half years ago I bought a bottle of Glenlivet XXV. It was exactly as I expected - sublime. Perfectly balanced, deep, rich ... again, just exactly what I would have hoped for in a $300+ bottle of whiskey that is very highly regarded. So, exactly one year ago, I bought another bottle...

    Wingtip store in downtown San Francisco ... fully custom ? Made in USA ?

    Spent a little time at Wingtip in SF last week ... I see that it is part of the styleforum meetup in February. Any thoughts or general comments on what is going on downstairs ? They are offering fully custom suits in the $4 - $5 - $6k range, depending on fabric, which are made in the USA. A...

    Some sticker shock at wilkes bashford san francisco...

    I need some new suits made this year - perhaps two or three. The last time I had a MTM suit made was in 2008 and it was a Samuelsohn. Three piece suit, roughly $2800 or so ? Perfectly happy with it. I was expecting to step up a bit in price since, at WB, I would be looking at Zegna and...

    Help me graduate beyond "six grapes" port ...

    I love port ... not a fan at all of tawny ... and my default choice is "six grapes". I think it's very good, and if there is no reason to switch, I won't ... but I'd love to upgrade a bit. Perhaps something better and a little subtler ? Again, I don't like tawny, so I don't want to go down...

    High end furniture makers ?

    I've browsed through all of Ethan Allen, RL Home, and Stickley and have not found what I'm looking for ... What are some other makers of high end furniture ? I'm looking for higher quality than, say, restoration hardware... Thanks.

    Help me understand the 63 models...

    Mercedes has 63 and 65 AMG models. (s63/s65, cl63/cl65, etc.) Why do the 63 models exist ? What person is buying a car and decides to spend a huge pile of money on a car that is almost, but not quite, the top of the line model ? Surely anyone that can afford a s63 could also afford a s65, so...

    Edward Green mail order ...

    Edward Green shoes are not (AFAICT) sold in San Francisco, where I live. I'd really like a pair of these: http://www.leathersoulhawaii.com/wp-...ploads/kib.jpg Am I correct that this is an EG Kibworth 606 ? The color is Burgundy Antique, according to the source of that picture. I am...

    Jacket sleeve buttons undone ... interesting example ...

    I'm in the camp that considers a button (or two) left unbuttoned on jacket sleeves to be tacky. However, I think it's only a matter of time before leaving a single one unbuttoned evolves into "correct" or "proper" and this looks like the first step...

    Best wine shop in SF that isn't all california ...

    I'm looking for a very good, very high end wine shop in San Francisco that isn't geared exclusively to californian wines. I've been to most of the good shops where I live, in Marin County, and not one of them had even a single bottle of Cahors, and some of them did not even have...

    Wilkes Bashford, Zegna and Bontoni

    I am new to the SFBA and would like to start some relationships with some good clothing shops downtown. I'm also interested in a Zegna suit, so Wilkes Bashford was the obvious first choice. I had a good first experience there, but don't have much to compare it with. I'd be happy to hear any...
