No, those are perfectly fine for casual button down shirts, got plenty of striped shirts in all stripe widths as button downs. Plenty of people wear BD shirts with ties as well. You are absolutely fine mate.

Mate thanks a lot for saying that haha. I was a bit worried that I just wasted my money lol. The red one kinda reminds me of waldo or Ronald McDonald though, I don't want to be wearing the shirt and people be like joking about it lol. Or maybe I am just overthinking?

Not an issue. Don't be like the fellow who refuses to wear a navy blazer, out of fear that he'll be mistaken for a shopping mall security guard.

Assuming you're wearing a nice pair of trousers and appropriate shoes (so we're not even touching upon the possibility of a tie or jacket), nobody will be joking about your appearance. Just put it out of your mind, okay?

Haha ok 12345Michael54321. That helps. I'll definitely be rocking those shirts either with odd trousers or with an odd jacket + nice bluchers/ ankle boots/ loafers/ or maybe a wingtip bal (when worn with jacket+woolen slacks). Thanks for the reply man. SF rocks!

Recently got a money off voucher at Charles Tyrwhitt and decided I'd give their casual shirts a go since they've altered the sizing slightly and the Extra Slim fit is a bit slimmer than the TM Lewin (which I'd usually buy).

Bought a nice white Oxford to check the fit, and I'm considering buying a few more for summer, but I'd like your opinion on which of these you think fits better (the images are stills taken from videos I took of myself - so they're a little blurry).
























My first impression on putting the CT on is that it's a little longer than what I'd usually wear (an inch or so in the front more, and 1.5-2 inches in the back I think it is). I don't know if it looks too long to wear untucked. However, it has the benefit of having enough length that should I wish to stick on some chinos and tuck it in it will hold nicely. Usually I'll be wearing with navy jeans (as pictured) or black jeans and un-tucked (sorry not sorry).

Also, the CT shirt (being new) hasn't been washed or ironed yet, but shouldn't affect fit(?).

Who makes this Peal & Co Jodhpur boot? I did a forum search but found conflicting information. It looks just like the Crockett & Jones Cottesmore, except for the color of the leather.

Based on the nail pattern, I'd say Grenson.

Dear Sirs,

I would appreciate it very much if you could assist to ID the maker for these pair of Neiman Marcus Suede Captoe Boots.

I have a hunch it is from Alfred Sargent but could be Loake as well.

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

How do gents and ladies.

I have entered the world of shoes which is probably to my detriment. I have never had a decent pair of shoes before and now I think I have, well for my first pair anyway. I was hoping you could give me some pointers on shoe maintenance. I'll pose some questions below and hopefully you can point me in the right direction.

I have some new Loake Aldwych in black and some new Pediwear Pickworth in burnished chestnut calf. I also have some black leather cream and some black leather wax and also some neutral cream and neutral wax.

For the Loake Aldwych




I am unsure on what colours to use. Do I apply the black cream let it dry and then apply the black wax or do I need to apply a neutral cream and a neutral wax or is it a neutral cream and then a black wax?



For the Pediwear




Is it just a case of neutral cream and then neutral wax?



The Soles

Do I apply anything to the sole, i.e. do I apply a neutral cream to the soles.

Thanks

I'm pretty sure those are Alfred Sargent. C&J uses a different style "Peal & Co" font like this one:

I'd have to see the printing inside to be sure though.

The stitching looks identical to the AS Alex too:

Alfred Sargent last 87.

Hello gents.

I'm trying suits to buy for my brothers wedding.
At 6'6'' it can be quite difficult to find suits long enough that are still fitted enough to suit me.
I have 2 options and would like your thoughts:

I like the color of the darker one a lot.
But the lighter colored one has a little longer jacket and I think that suits me better.
Both will have the sleeves extended a bit, and the pants on the lighter one I want a little more tapered.
So what are your thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

I have seen some Florshiem Imperials and Allen Edmonds with this little "tag" on the inside of the shoe and I have seen others without it. What is the difference between shoes with it and without?

I was asked recently what is the minimum number of shoes to be a well dressed man on all ocassions. Thoughts? I have 24 pairs because that is what the built in shelves in my closet will hold. When I go over 24, I give one away.
