Any way to remediate shoe trees stretching shoes?
I have a pair of formal shoes that I tried on the other day (try on my dress shoes every so often to make sure they still fit/are comfortable) and realized that my shoe trees have stretched them (lengthwise) a little... They are C&J slip-ons and a very stiff leather, but last time I wore them...- TimelesStyle

RL Black Label to merge with Purple Label
IMO, the best was what RL did with the old BL suits: attach the sleeve buttons for convenience, but have the cuff such that working buttonholes were possible. But yes, on full-price merchandise, button attachment will generally be included (though at best you'll get fake buttonholes, not...- TimelesStyle

Is there anything to the idea that consumption of soy is bad for men due to the estrogen content? Or has that been completely debunked by actual science as well?- TimelesStyle

When is the Next Ralph Lauren Sale?
The suits were previously a minimum of $1,795 for the basics, and a minimum of $1,895 (many over $2k) for the seasonal offerings. So again, we're talking about a few hundred increase, which is to be expected from time to time even without the label change or a serious material upgrade...- TimelesStyle

RL Black Label to merge with Purple Label
It's not really a $600 markup; more like a $200 markup (for the only other suit that seems to have carried over completely): http://www.ralphlauren.com/product/index.jsp?productId=83760546&cp=54803326.54803846&ab=ln_men_cs_suits&parentPage=family I think the sharkskin must just have...- TimelesStyle

Plus, even if it were possible to test hypotheses on human subjects, where are you going to find a study cohort genetically identical enough to control the experiment (an advantage of mice bred for the lab).- TimelesStyle

I'm a non-apologetic carnivore, but have certainly had some of the same thoughts as you. That's why I go for free range chicken/eggs and pasture-raised (grass-fed, if possible) beef/lamb/bison. I've always been more about quality of life than length (as a general principle). This decision...- TimelesStyle

The State of Black Tie: Your Observations
And, should one insist on going without a waist covering, a fly front shirt is a must, because it will eliminate that awkward studs-to-buttons transition visible when the jacket is open.- TimelesStyle

The State of Black Tie: Your Observations
I'll just add to #1 that the entire thing can be midnight as well, if you are wearing a midnight tux with midnight facings, go that route. My preference on a non-matching cummerbund would be some kind of tonal pattern (paisley, etc.). I also think that the cummerbund's texture can differ...- TimelesStyle

Some may not like the taste of certain veggies that go into such smoothies, and the convenience factor matters (particularly if this is prepped for an on-the-go scenario). Re: the yogurt, I don't think the Greek vs. regular matters so much as how well the live and active cultures in it...- TimelesStyle

Random health and exercise thoughts
PF is one place I'd never, ever go to work out. Both on principle, and because a Smith machine is not only no substitute for a squat, it's dangerous and an injury waiting to happen. And I agree about underspending on a gym, but I can't stand the idea of overpaying for one either when it has...- TimelesStyle

I think that asking is perfectly fine, so long as you don't then crowd the person and try and rush them. That's dick. But asking is relevant. First off, you may have a "preferred" piece of equipment (one gym I go to has three squat racks, all different) and it might be worth waiting for...- TimelesStyle

3sixteen Denim Series, Bracelets, Shirts...
So here's a slightly, uh, um, embarrassing fit question/issue... I received SL and ST 210s in the mail today and tried them. SL are too bit all around in the proper waist size, while ST fit perfectly with one exception: there appears to be some serious moose knuckle action going on, however the...- TimelesStyle

When is the Next Ralph Lauren Sale?
I wonder if 50% was stores planning to ship their leftovers out this past week, while 30% was/is for those stores keeping their stuff till it sells out. It's also possible that some stores had lower marked prices; Chicago had marked prices below what was online so it may have equaled out.- TimelesStyle

Rag & Bone Denim
I'd say it took a dive in terms of quality when Theory bought the company. Now, few things other than jeans are made in the USA and those have gone from being made in NC to NY to now LA, CA. The jeans used to all retail for $200+, were made from great, elegant denim (most were resin-rinsed...- TimelesStyle

Add Chicago to the list of "shipped out". Now I may try a couple of the secondary stores in search of some casual sport coats.- TimelesStyle

Which others, out of curiosity? There's a store here in Chicago that I think has the ST in a 34, so if I can get over there that will work. However of the potential "matches" that's the only one I can get locally.- TimelesStyle

3sixteen Denim Series, Bracelets, Shirts...
Thanks. Who's measurements would you consider most accurate (since 3s, SE and BO all have slight variations for the exact same jean)? I also don't know that I need a roomier jean, per se, it's possible I just sized wrong. My "typical" jeans size is a 32 or 33, but perhaps 3sixteen just...- TimelesStyle
