    First time suit buyer, need advice...

    Also, I would recommend getting your shoes first, then your suit(s). This way you can wear them when selecting your trousers and you will get the break you want.

    First time suit buyer, need advice...

    I want to buy a suit, dress shirt, tie, belt, pants, shoes, socks, and a vest so I can fit in with the rest of you handsome folks. But before I do, I have some questions. 1. What body measurements do I need to take? For shirts, you'll need to measure the length starting at the nape of your...

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    Traditionally lobbies are the great social spaces, which to me would mean hat off. I would guess, however, that being asked to remove your hat had as much or more to do with facial capture on security cameras.

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    Actually, here in Texas, you don't see many people eating with their hats on. Most of the men who wear cowboy hats are very polite in all aspects, their mothers wouldn't let them be any other way. As for the questionnaire: I try and remove my hat whenever I stop and talk to someone, or...

    Suit and coat color matching

    What shade of brown shoes? If that includes black cherry then I couldn't agree.

    Show us your suits

    Moving the buttons will give you a looser fit without truly altering the coat. Unless you plan to where it unbuttoned all night long, you should have them moved. While most probably wouldn't realise that your jacket was too small, they probably WILL sense that something is off with it. Also...

    Show us your suits

    Just wanted to be sure they know you're having them altered. Has the tailor who measured you ever done any alterations or made any clothes for you before? You shouldn't need to adjust your measurements to get the clothes to fit. Also, just out of personal curiosity is the inseam of the...

    Show us your suits

    Have you gotten in touch with Magnoli? Even if you don't have time for them to fix it, you owe it to them and you to notify them of the problem BEFORE someone goes changing them. To me it appears that the whole suit was fitted for someone with a smaller waist. In one of your photos it...

    Do You "Like" the Indiana Jones Comment?

    In the USA, as far as I know(it is around here), a wife beater is ribbed tank top undershirt which is what Widebrim was referring to. I assume you mean somethinhg different by wife beater?

    Don Knotts' Hat

    Thanks flute and Mr. Paladin for the welcome. You can never have enough Texans.;) Would ya'll say that Knotts' hat is just a snap brim with a tight crease? I can't tell if it is just a snap, or if the edge of the brim stands up, making kind of a "pan" out of the brim.

    Hats, Sweatbands and Hair products

    Honda Enoch, I've had a double crown cowlick that merged into one, plus stiff hair that hates to lay down. Used to I would use hairspray or gel on important occaisions, but now I use Murray's Pomade. I wash my hair as if it wasn't there, then just add a little more to my hair. It keeps my...

    Don Knotts' Hat

    Thanks everybody, especially Dan and HMH for the pictures. Not that I'm abandoning the hat, but I was downtown today and stopped in at Peter Bros, and I think I am going to get the Scala P180 if I've got the money. Just recently getting into hats, I'm still not sure the styles and...

    Don Knotts' Hat

    Yet another new guy here. At the end of December I picked up a Scala Hiker at Peter Bros. Hats. Now that it has warmed up here, my thoughts have turned to a straw hat, that four season wool felt is just too hot above 70. So my question is, Does anybody know of a hat similar to the one Don...
