How to see 100 posts in a thread
Hello, I'm sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place. I tried posting in the "New Forum Support" forum, but it seems that it's locked? I don't know. How do I change my settings so that I can see more than 10 posts at a time in a thread? I'm trying to enjoy the new forum software, but this...- Makoto Chan

How consistent must one really be in terms of formality when wearing a suit?
I see you're in Japan, where the "rules" and context are a bit different, although generally in the stricter or more codified direction. Your pinstripe suit is definitely "formal." In my opinion it's not best suited to a dotted knit (quite casual) tie, but if you wear it well, that's great...- Makoto Chan

With the current Brooks Brothers sale, that is indeed a very good value. Doesn't BB have a sale on shirts now, too?- Makoto Chan

Building a basic wardrobe
You're overthinking this a bit. It's good that you're trying to be conscious of and generally upgrade your wardrobe. It's better to slowly buy good quality items than to rush to "complete" your wardrobe. It would be good to own a grey suit, although it sounds like a 3-piece suit is unnecessary...- Makoto Chan

leather blazer with business casual?
If you really want to wear this then go ahead. If you have no dress code, then why not wear a more typical leather bomber jacket? Sounds like this will look weird wherever you go, "neither fish nor fowl."- Makoto Chan

Ask A Question, Get An Answer... - Post All Quick Questions Here (Classic menswear)
Where can I find brown, round cotton laces for dress shoes? Los Angeles-specific advice would be great, but an online option would be fine, too. The laces that came with my Carmina suede captoes in 2011 just split open, and I quite liked the soft cotton laces. Most places just sell things for...- Makoto Chan

The beginnings of a shoe collection
Those are very nice shoes for a first year on the job, not to mention for an undergrad student. You'll be fine - but I think you should expect to wear black shoes almost every day, so plan your next pair accordingly.- Makoto Chan

Switching out metal watch links for a leather band or NATO strap?
Yes. Go to a place that sells watches and they'll probably do it for you.- Makoto Chan

The GQ Fit (I want it as tight as possible without cutting off circulation)
(Guy comes in asking what people think, everyone tells him the same thing, he isn't interested in taking the advice. Isn't there already a meme or a gif for this?) It seems like you're asking for information about specific bespoke tailors. If you're going to have something made for you, you'll...- Makoto Chan

Best Penny Loafer <$100?
Just get something that isn't too trendy. A bass weejun would be fine, but if you walk into the store and you see something you like more, get it instead.- Makoto Chan

Smart watches can they fit into our classic attire?
A classic look is more than the sum of its parts, so a single modern i-Watch won't be the downfall of a conservative outfit. But it won't contribute much, either.- Makoto Chan

Casualising the suit
There are a hundred ways to wear a suit more casually, including wearing desert boots. The world is your oyster. Do what you want. Maybe you will look bad. You'll never get everyone's approval on the internet. There's no formula for this. It obviously depends on how well your clothes fit and...- Makoto Chan

Wk of Feb 9, 2015: New Member Inquiries & Quick Questions- Classic Menswear
I don't know if there is an easier type of shoe generally to put on, but good leather shoes should have heel support that prevents them from easily caving under your foot. I have a pair of Crockett Jones penny loafers that are a touch big but comfortable to walk in and easy to step into. You...- Makoto Chan
