    Pringle sweaters

    Bluefly has had Pringle polos for some time and they fit just like the Bobby Jones variety; extra-sized, in other words. Jeff

    What to look for in a pair of undershorts?

    I prefer the regular brief. I have unusually large thighs for my waist (cycling, football, etc.), so by much trial and error I have come to appreciate that the extra fabric on the sides keeps them where they need to be. Indeed, though my waist is 32 I need to get 34-sized briefs because of my...

    Learning how to cook

    I've been cooking for a long time and have learned quite a bit. However, the single most useful cooking book I have experienced, and still refer to occasionally,is "The Way to Cook", by Julia Child. There are many nice recipes in this book, but it is really about all things technique...

    Here are some close-up pics of the Martegani's. I highly recommend them. Jeff

    Pics of my new shoes

    I really like them. They are my most fashion-forward shoe, so I feel the need to be pretty well-dressed while wearing them. Rider (Ron) antiqued them beautifully for me. The fit is very nice with quite a good heel counter, which is important for my foot shape: flat, slightly wide feet with a...

    Edward green antiqued leather colors

    This is exactly my experience as well. See my post above "Pics of my new shoes" for pictures of the EG Plymouth in Burnt Pine. Jeff

    Pics of my new shoes

    Greetings forumners. I recently received my first two pairs of EG shoes directly from EG in London. They are the Telford model in Mink Suede and the Plymouth model in Burnt Pine. Each are size 10.5 UK "F" fitting, the Telford on the 202 last and the Plymouth on the 606 last. The 202 is the...

    Alligator belts

    The best alligator belts that I have personally seen are from Torino. I have two of them. Jeff

    What to look for in a pair of undershorts?

    I prefer the mercerized cotton of either BB or Neiman Marcus' briefs. They are a fuller-styled brief without bikini-like sides. Jeff

    Do *you* own any dockers?

    Nope, no Dockers. Some Banana Republic and Eddie Bauer though. I vastly prefer slacks that have a button closure on the inside and a button or hook & loop enclosure on the outside, with or without extension tab. This requirement precludes any Docker model that I've ever seen. What is this...

    Which pair should i keep

    I would keep the Polos. I like Moreschi but this particular model looks too stubby and squared off in the toe, and the brogueing does not really go with the character. I'm also not a fan of the Polo's styling, but I have several pair of these Italian-made RL Polo shoes and they are well...

    Recommended tailor in phoenix/scottsdale?

    Greetings, forumners. I am heading to Phoenix later this afternoon and would like to get a new suit altered while there. Can anyone recommend a good tailor? I have recently received a gorgeous Isaia grey pinstripe suit for Brooks Brothers that needs the pants re-cut and buttonholes created on...

    Nominate your favorite e. green shoe

    I recently received from EG's sale the Telford in mink suede (last 202) and the Plymouth in burnt pine antique (last 606), both in UK10.5 "F" fitting. The 202 last is certainly roomier than the 606 last, which in turn is only a touch wider than the last on the RLPL/EG Cardiff, which was the...

    Difference in waist size only?

    I am in the exact same predicament. My actual waist measures 32, but from years spent playing football and cycling I have very large thighs and, correspondingly, hips. Because of this I've always preferred pleated-front pants. However, largely because of information I've become aware of from...

    Polo mccallum chukka boots

    Yes, they did have an 11. I ordered both it and an 11.5, and found the fit of the 11 perfect, so returned the 11.5. Jeff

    Polo mccallum chukka boots

    I also own these boots and am very impressed with them. The last is just wide enough to accomodate my slightly wide foot, and the heel is nice and snug. I agree they look great, and I wear them with casual pants, jeans, and flannel or patterned wool trousers with a heavier sportcoat. I don't...

    Help deciding about shoes

    In my experience you definitely need to get the Polo Italian-made, welted shoes 1/2 size bigger than your usual size. YMMV. Jeff

    "english" styled suits hit the mall

    I think that looks pretty darn sharp, actually. So do this season's dress shirts from BR. I agree that they're on to something. Several seasons ago BR was offering very nice black wool crepe suit separates that were an absolute steal on clearance. The same will probably happen to this new suit...

    I know..."if it's too good to be true..."

    Has anyone else seen this eBay auction? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3923487448 I sent the seller a message asking about the particular construction techniques used, canvas, buttonholes, available fabrics, etc., and we'll see what the reply is. Definitely not bespoke, but appears...

    Polo fearson shoe

    I just received these shoes two weeks ago from the 'Fly and I am very happy with them for the price I paid (~ $175). They are both Blake- and Rapid-stitched, and are leather throughout. They are not as refined as my suede Edward Green Telfords, but then they are only 25% of the price. They run...
