Introduce yourself.

[Mark Sher]

Hello SF members!
I have always been a fan of beautiful clothing. My father was a clothing freak when I was growing up
In the 70's & 80's and he would drag me along to his custom tailor and stores in New York on Saturdays, so it's kind of in my blood. It took me quite a few years to develop my own sense of personal style, but once I had a handle on it, I could always put something nice together that was appropriate for the mood I was in, where I was going and the weather outside. Thank you thrift shops!
I started selling on eBay full time back in 2001. About a year ago I decided to take the plunge and open men's consignment store in Metuchen, NJ. I now run my eBay business from that location - a big change from the 15 years I spent working in my basement. I have a lot of knowledge to share about buying and selling online, tailored clothing and personal style, but I also feel that I still have a lot to learn. In my basement there was no dress code. I went through a phase about 12 or 13 years ago where I wound go down to work in a suit and tie, but that only lasted for a couple of weeks. For the most part I was shorts and a t-shirt in the warm weather and jeans and a button-down in cooler weather. Now that I am operating a retail store in a busy downtown, I have to put a lot of thought into my outfit each day. I'm a big fan of RRL, John Varvatos, Rag & Bone type of stuff. Most recently I discovered Grown & Sewn denim khakis, which are now my favorite pants to wear. For tailored clothing I have always loved Oxxford & bespoke Savile Row suits. My favorite contemporary piece is a Billy Reid blue blazer that came from Bergdorf that came to me through the course of my business.
I'm not very familiar with online forums, but I will be spending time looking through this site and will make posts when I have something to say, a question to answer or a question if my own.

Hello everyone. Guess I'll say a little about myself:

Currently a digital sales director for a large automotive group. Late 30's. Father of 2 and still married to my wife of 9 years. Went to a Patriot league University and have a bit of a preppy/trad streak in me, but not very strict.

Recently I have been working hard to get fit and have seen significant progress. Also, since starting my role as digital sales director I have been updating my wardrobe and starting to amass a bit of a shoe/boot collection.

I have a lot of Brooks Brothers clothing, although I have turned to Kamakura for my sizeable OCBD collection. Some JCrew, LL Bean, Bonobos, Suit Supply and Orvis also find their way into my wardrobe. Lots of AE shoes and also invested in a pair of shell Alden 4060's that I'm very fond of.

Guess I have a problem of spending money on clothes and need to feed the habit, so here I am. I hope I don't go into too much debt.

[bryanreynolds]

Hello, brand new here. My name is bryan reynolds, per my username. I live in RI and have a little daughter. I work with developmentally disabled adults and go to school for music. As you can probably guess, I'm a musician.

I only recently started thinking seriously about the clothes I wear. I used to dress real sloppy, even hippie-ish, but now I'm interested in classic fashion. I like clothes that look good and are FUNCTIONAL. I don't have much money so fuctional and affordable is what I'm after. I'm also 6'8" and thin as a rail, so FIT is key, too.

As I've really just started I have a lot of basic stuff to add to my wardrobe. I haven't really figured out how to find pants that fit. I'm interested in getting a suit. I've been watching some vids from RealMenRealStyle and GentlemansGazette and reading articles from GentlemansGazette and have gotten some ideas from them.

Anyway, happy to be here.

I'm Michael from Kentucky and work for a large national corp. I'm looking to increase my knowledge on male fashion and improve my professional appearance at the office. Also travel internationally and want to build a wardrobe that shines but remains conservative.

I just purchased my first pairs of AE's, black PA's and Chili fifth ave's. It was hard staying away from walnut Strands as a first shoe but know when building anything worth while you must start with a good foundation. I'll get the Strands eventually but I like the versatility of the bourbon color over walnut. Also open to learn about other shoe makers.

Enjoy vintage watches, horse racing, smoking my own BBQ, and drinking good bourbon with friends.

Hello, my name is Jean-Marx. I am a musician and does whatever needs to happen in addition to that to keep the lights on. I love investing some time in what I wear as I view it as a way to express myself on a daily basis and helps me stay in touch with my creative side. I don't have a particular style IMO, but I grab influences from all over.

[Wingtip77]

Hi everybody. My name is Ross and I'm from the North of England. I had a bit of a thing for shoes over the last couple of years. I own a few pairs of Loakes, some Alfred Sargent and a couple of pairs of Crockett & Jones. I'm hoping that my brain is happy with the amount of shoes I've got, because it's getting harder to justify each new pair to the wife.

I seem to be reading a lot of the suit threads at the minute, but I'm not sure I can justify spending thousands on smart suits when my office is very business casual.

Really enjoying the forum and finding it very informative and funny.

All the best.

Hi all! Young gentleman here who enjoys formal menswear and is slowly building a nice collection of quality garments. Currently saving up for some handmade goodyear welted shoes. I'm from a mediterranean country so I'd say my style is distinctly mediterranean with plenty of colour and a variety of textures and fabrics. Still, I do like to dress more conservatively too from time to time.

Feel free to check out my listing below:
