    30's trouser sizes

    Excellent. That was similar to what I read in Esquire's Encyclopedia, but it didn't break the sizes down. I appreciate it

    30's trouser sizes

    Forgive me if this has been answered, but I cannot seem to find what I am looking for anywhere. I am trying to replicate the 30's-style trousers with their fuller cut. Does anyone know what the sizes were at say, the hips, thighs, knee, and cuff? I would appreciate the help, as I recently got a...

    Frye Boots

    I am intersted in this as well, though it would seem not many are. Have you worn the Rogans on the trail at all? I am looking for new hiking/backpacking boots and have been considering these. The thing is I am having a tough time finding reviews that actually find these boots in the field, and...

    No, it is not bespoke. They said they were, but are more made-to-measure. So far, the quality is far from crap, but also far from something you would get from Saville Row. For being on a limited budget, it is just fine. You pay twice as much and get similar quality from OTR suits that don't fit...

    Shoe Size Help!! Deadline soon!!!

    Hurry gents! Is Loake's shoe sizing similar to say Johnston & Murphy? I wear a 7, and I'm wondering how close they are to fit. I'm looking at a pair of Loake's in a 6.5, and they're a steal even with shipping. But I don't want to run through hoops to get small shoes. Any feedback would be helpful.

    It's getting to be Christmas again, and I am in the process of ordering another suit. This time, i'm getting a three-piece tweed in charcoal with chalk-stripes. The cloth, to my eye, seems more like a flannel, which I have been looking for. In addition, the wasitcoat is no extra charge. Hoping...

    Men, Man Up

    Thanks gents. I regularly use Nivea face wash ad scrub, and have been wetshaving for almost two years, and have never looked back. I only get breaekouts when i continually touch my smooth face (or my girlfriend touches it, which is fine by me:D). I use the Nivea sensitive balm, because my cheeks...

    Evening dress question

    Thanks, Bugsy. You follow the after six rule, and the white in warm weather? Or being in temperate Californi-aye, could I squeek by with a white dinner jacket?

    Men, Man Up

    For those men who like to keep their faces moisturized, what products do you use for day, and, more to my question, night? I like a smooth, well protected, and moisturized face. So what re you gents slappin' on yer mugs?

    Evening dress question

    Well, that sounds fine and dandy to me, then. Just wondered if any of you had experience with this. I've pondered it for a while. Now i just have to wait for something to come up, and afterwards I'll post pics. Hopefully. Still working the camera thing out

    Evening dress question

    I know that you traditionally wear black tie to opening nights of plays and operas, but those are generally big-time productions. would it be acceptable to wear it to a college production opening night? Such as a musical or play? I have very limited opportunities to wear formalware, and would...

    you can also help the problem by wearing grey undershirts, as the reflect the right amount of light. that, and they tend to add a richness to your shirts' color, or make whites seem whiter.

    Goat A-2

    I'll have to give the jeep-tow some consideration. anything for posterity. i actually tossed it in the dryer for about an hour, with a pair of shoes, and that really relaxed the leather. it is much more comfortable now, whereas before, it was like wearing damp cardboard. i very much enjoy this...

    Goat A-2

    hello, gents. i've been searching, and cannot find anything on how to break my goatskin a-2. i had thought that it was horsehide, due to it's characteristic descriptions, but pictures reveal it to be goat. i picked up this up new at a surplus store going on 5 years ago because it was only $99...

    Nightwing, as I tired to say before, the suits aren't the best, but they're pretty good. I can't honestly say as far as taxes are concerned, because my suit was a Christmas present. But there IS a currency exchange, so keep that in mind when you order. And I feel your pain on finding suits. I'm...
