Yeah man I feel the exact same way as you do, regarding the whole competition and "look at me" deal. Tumblr has played a big part into that too, but there are a lot of quality tumblrs as well.

On the opposite spectrum, I notice menswear becoming a ton more gimmicky. I haven't really ran into other cats who brag about the limited release Aldens or anything lol but being that "getting dressed up" has become more acceptable for the club and such, sites like jackthreads now push the whole "gentleman" look at cheap prices. I am all for deals but the quality/construction of these hyped menswear pieces are straight basura. Then again in comparison, ain't that the problem with jays? 
Either way, I'm happy to see people feel confident and what not when they throw on their attire but a couple dudes I know around my way shop solely from H&M and online sites copping wingtips and what not that are half plastic half who knows, and try to front like they are the best dressed anyone has ever seen. Like B, until you actually take the time to learn the subtleties of menswear and realize why quality construction > fast fashion crap, I can't really get down with your flavor-of-the-month-because-GQ-posted-something-similar-monk-straps.
Let that boy cook though I suppose

hahahah thanks bro, such a beautiful shoe.... nothing better than a quality product for less than retail, my only regret was not getting the shoe trees, polish and brush... I'll grab them later, their site has so many accessories, some nice belts as well.

If I didn't already have a pair, those would be the pictures to convince me to buy them.

What settings are you using for these shots?
I'm a novice with a Canon T2i shooting on the stock lens. KSteez is telling me to cop a Tamron 28x55 but I got too many suits lined up first :\

Yeah I just used the AE Walnut polish on my strands for the first time. Darkened them up a bit and really brought out the colors. Definitely pick some of that up from their site.hahahah thanks bro, such a beautiful shoe.... nothing better than a quality product for less than retail, my only regret was not getting the shoe trees, polish and brush...

I have a T1i shooting with a 28-135mm lens and 580EX flash.. its the light doing all the work, this flash was life changing, been shooting for some time but still a amateur in my mind.

Thanks for the advice, that is a must. I can see my self with a few pairs of AE shoes, plotting on the bourbons next, I wonder if the same sale will be applied during black Friday and maybe the Christmas season.

To Hennesy and who else is looking into MTM: make sure you're really confidence about the numbers you send in. Get measured multiple times. Don't do it yourself. And don't have some normal run of the mill tailor measure you. They'll do it too loosely.

Thanks. Repped.
I'm taking it very seriously so I can get at close to perfect as possible the first time. Liked Pinoy732's suggestion of taking note of any further alterations done at the tailor so they can be factored into TaT's process if there's a second suit to be ordered. My girl was a fashion so she is very familiar with clothing and measuring. Gonna have her do it for me. Will probably have another tailor do it too for good measure <--is that where that phrase "good measure" comes from? felt so natural in that sentence

So mad at myself for procrastinating on these during the summer while Nordstrom had that deal.

Mind you that there will still be minor variation each time. I have probably 7 or 8 suits from TaT and all fit slightly differently and they're based off the same specs. Minor alterations may be required as they won't come out perfectly from the box.
The same goes for TOJ when I had like 6 leather jackets.
It's not like bespoke that you would go in for multiple fittings.
