Can anyone tell me what the US size on this pair of Edward Green Beaulieus is? The 9/9.5E is confusing me. Thanks.

The first number is the UK size; the second is the US size.

Thank you. That's what I was told, but wanted to double check. I appreciate the quick response.

First off all, your shirt sleeves have to fit right. If all of your shirts have different sleeve lengths and cuff sizes, you're jacket sleeves will never look right.

Thanks. As I'm looking into this, I realize two things:
1) My arms have slightly different lengths! (Probably because I broke my collar bone as a kid.)
2) To be able to access my watch without unbuttoning the cuff, I need the cuff to be loose enough that it will look more like the top right part of my previous pic, even though it is a fairly thin Skagen watch.

You have to button it up.

Are Gitman brothers shirts made for a menswear store considered the same quality as their normal shirts? I found a couple from a now closed store Roger Stevens and they seem to be pretty nice.

What are my options for a dress shoe when I walk 20-30 minutes a day to and from work?

Are wooden soles pointless? Should I get rubber heeled shoes? Do high end makers offer these types of shoes, or should I consult a cobbler?

I think you mean leather soles. Both should be fine. Really just depends on your comfort level.

Maybe he's Dutch.

Maybe he's Dutch. 

He looks like Sean Connery in his profile picture.

I have a pair of trousers a little too tight in the thigh and seat. It causes the pockets to flair. Would getting a tailor to let out the waist help at all or do I have to just get used to them being on the tighter side.

Are they tight in the waist as well? You could get him to just let out the seat a touch. There should be enough extra fabric there to give you a little more space.

Constructive comments on my new suit jacket (trousers are perfect). I need to know what to do.



Changing the shadows so you can see details (ignore colour).


I don't feel it looks so flattering to my athletic physique, but am I just swayed by recent fashions?



Is this just sleeve pitch?



Or should I try 44L (shown is 42L)

hey all. is it possible to get a "decent" quality button down dress shirt for ~$30 other than the times that Charles Tyrwhitt is on sale?

seems super impossible.

thanks!
