Okay, so I ordered these chino's from Jcrew, they are a 32 length because that's the size I wear my jeans. Anyways, these seem a little short to me, or maybe I dont know how chino's should fit because I've never had any.


Could I get some opinions, are these too short?

Length looks ok. However...I would not wear that combo.

The elbows of the jacket became sort of greasy and lustrous with time while the other parts of the jacket are clean. What is the best way to clear the elbow area?

What kind of jacket? Fabric? If you are talking about a wool sport jacket and the elbows are shiny, it is time to get a new jacket.

Anyone know how much I should expect a cobbler to take to fix this?
Stitching of my 5 year old boots are getting slightly bad.

Thanks,

Looks a tad short, but may be because of the boots.

I accidentally ordered the wrong dress shirt: I placed an order for one with fine stripe motif instead of a plain light-blue one. I am now considering whether or not I should correct mistake, or if such a dress shirt would be an excellent addition to my wardrobe - which, at the moment, only contains plain, motif-less dress shirts.

I am worried that it looks too much like a pajamas, and that it will stand out too much at my corporate place of employment where tie and jacket are obligatory. I am starting there after New Year's, so I don't actually know how "brave" the other employees are in terms of dress shirts.

What do you guys think?

Can anyone recommend a place to find a thick/cable knit turtleneck sweater? Or is there a reason most of them seem to be in the women's section...

There's a Merino wool one, at Aran Sweater Market. Made in Ireland, and it'll set you back less than $100. http://www.aransweatermarket.com/gents-knitwear/gents-sweaters/merino-wool-turtleneck-sweater

And the National Geographic store, of all places, has a nice looking men's Irish Aran turtleneck (pictured below), for about $150. http://shop.nationalgeographic.com/.../sweaters/men's-irish-aran-turtleneck-sweater

Both are available in a variety of sizes and colors.
