I would be in on something like this.This! I am also down for the "pass box".
I have a pair of RRL straight leg denim but i recently havent liked the way they fit. I was wondering if i can make them more slim straight or near skinny fit because i'd hate to give away some expensive denim like this? If anyone knows of anything in the NYC area for tailoring regarding my situation lmk
A good pair of shoes is often described as "an investment", but unlike most investments this is one that you put your feet into and then hit repeatedly against the ground. Small wonder, then, that even the best-made pairs can eventually end up looking somewhat sub-prime.
Having said that, only the most obsessive footwear nut would advocate wrapping your shoes up in cotton wool, and in our opinion a pair of lovingly worn old Oxfords says something about a man that box-fresh sneakers never could. So, unless you're planning on spending the rest of your life indoors, you'd best come to terms with the universal truth that all shoes, however treasured, must age.
With this in mind, don't forget that there are steps you can take to revive even the most beaten-up pair. One man who knows more about this than most is Mr Costas Xenophontos, director of Classic Shoe Repairs (classicshoerepairs.com). Tucked away on an unassuming street in North London, his workshop was founded in 1963 and has since built a reputation as the finest cobbler in the city, entrusted with repairing worn and damaged shoes from some of the world's best designers.
Here, he shares some of his wisdom.
This is a great way to ruin your shoes, making the leather brittle and causing it to crack. If they're really drenched, stuff them with absorbent material - newspaper works well - and let them dry naturally.
A tempting option, but it's the worst stuff for leather. It's impossible to take it off without damaging the surface underneath, and if a shoe needs stitching the needle won't be able to pierce it.
Your average high-street cobbler might not be used to handling classic, handmade shoes on a regular basis. It's worth the expense to avoid the risk of seeing your favourite pair come back to you with a cheap plastic heel, or worse.
Odin stuff at Target was pretty weak.

I was looking forward to seeing what they would release. But like some flannels, one cut of pants, two jackets, and accessories? No thanks. They just look like better cut normal target stuff honestly. Nothing special just maybe a little more slim cut then normal things
Couple of quick notes.
- I am looking to make a set of pocket squares and thought about doing an NT Dressing better pocket square. Any takers. No cost. Thinking I would make maybe 10-15.
- Hey, Anyone interested in doing the Secret Santa shoot me a PM. I will keep an Excel sheet and we can pull names by Oct. 1. Any idea of the price limit?
Sup bros, I know these pics are kinda blurry but any info on these?

Your hair would look better if you got a fade on the sides. Just my opinion.my first suit (purchased in oct '11)

Spoiler feature is great and easy to use.Nah, hair just need volume. Style them like this:
Is there enough pics of all the angles?
I personally don't think it works in the first and I don't like it at all (especially short sleeve + bow tie + pocket square...matching too) in the last. It's simple and used as a small accent in the other two.Few questions
1. Does a Camo Pocket square look stupid.
Kinda like this digital camp joint
2. Does a pocket square in a shirt pocket look stupid.
