    Shaving, blood and white dress shirts

    That's funny, this happened to me the other day. I was shaving the back of my hairline in the evening before going out, so I just rolled my collar under my shirt so I didn't get soap all over the collar, shaved the back of my neck and everything looks nice so I button up and go on my way. When...

    Big and Tall Suits

    If you have a K&G Fashion Superstore near your area, that is usually a good place to get a good deal on some modern suits in big & tall sizes... you can try goodwill or another thrift store, but you will probably have a hard time finding anything at thrift stores due to lack of Large sizes (I...

    Altering Trousers

    I have some pants that I would prefer them to have a wider leg. I noticed there is fabric on the seams inside that looks like I can open the seams and sew it back together creating a larger diameter leg. I don't have any experience in tailoring, and I am wondering if this is possible by making...

    Panama Hat Thread

    I recently bought one of the $15 panama hats from Bob, and it is really nice. The brim is a little smaller than I like (about 2") but at $15 I can't complain. I didn't even think about asking for a specific brim width...

    Seabiscuit Costumes by John David Ridge

    You would think that major motion picture studios such as Universal, Warner Brothers, and Paramount would take care of their period costumes that are original vintage pieces. They have the money to go through suits and costumes with out much care, but they should realize these vintage pieces...

    Synthetic suits - Thoughts?

    Polyester suits aren't as comfortable as wool, especially when you start moving around. Polyester also doesn't drape as well as wool, which makes the wool suit look and wear better. The first suits I bought were from the men's wearhouse. The suits were made from super 1000 wool or whatever they...

    Formal Wear Primer

    It just has one button in the lower back area which is pretty easy to button yourself and isn't noticeable when wearing it. the top is closed by the collar stud, so it really only closes in two spots and it's pretty comfortable just a little odd having all front and no back when you're also...

    Formal Wear Primer

    I bought a vintage shirt for about 5 bucks on Ebay, it closes in the back and has two buttonholes in the front. I find that the stiff front shirt is useful for whatever look you're going for and always classy for evening wear. For black tie I can wear a wing collar or a turn down collar using...

    Does vintage make you look.... *older*?

    People usually think I'm older then I am, because you don't see too many 20 year old kids that wear suits and a thin moustache. I also go to school with a lot of older people in the drafting program so they just assume I'm closer to their age instead of just out of high school. A lot of people...
