^^^Yeah, gray and navy work.

The model in the pic of the blazer seems to have on trousers that are similar to the ones that you posted.

Can anyone here suggest some good tailors in the NYC area? I searched on Yelp but there seems to be mixed reviews ranging from really good to really bad...

I recently bought a shirt with a pattern I really like but the sleeves are way too big. The sleeves arn't long but there's a lot of space in the sleeves from the beginning of the arm to the wrist. Can a tailor make the sleeves slimmer or should i just return the shirt?

How much does he charge and does he also do jeans and khakis? A lot of my older clothes fit loose on me now, because of the weight I've lost the past few months.

It was 15-20 depending on the shirt. He can do pants and jeans etc but remember hes not a miracle worker. Sometimes it more beneficial to start over again.

Can anyone recommend me an affordable version of the shoes on the left?

I'm looking at some Allen Edmonds that are similar but is already pushing my price range...

 

[omgitswes]

I believe I saw some on J Crews site a few months back like them.

Shoes on the right look too fem to me

 

[andrew630]

Yea, I don't think I can pull off the monk straps either.

And looks like no go for the Allen Edmonds, only size 9.5 left.

I might just play it safe and get the brown joints.

Gucci dress shoes are nice, they offer some nice and sleek dress shoes. Quality-wise, they tend to be good but still overpriced at retail.I'd suggest getting a blake rapid stsitched shoe from Gucci so it can be resoled.
As for leather vs. rubber soles, it is up to you. There are now sleek rubber soled dress shoes out there that goes well with a suit, problem is most rubber soled shoes aren't blake rapid stitched. 

Another way is get leather soled dress shoes and have it topied, that way you retain that blake rapid stitch for resoling in the future.

Copped the Worsted wool (sharkskin) Ludlow two-button suit from J Crew for NYE at the last min and got lots of compliments even though I had zero alterations done. Guess I got lucky.

http://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/suitinganddressshirts/italianwoolsuiting/PRDOVR~11707/11707.jsp

thats an awesome jacket. very versatile. its probably the way you are standing, but it looks a little tight in the chest (buckling). great buy if you dont need to do any alteration ... although sometimes most of the people out there dont know any better. either way its a nice buy ... i'd add the pants to get a full suit so you can mix and match if the pants is available.  

  

Thanks...

I actually copped the whole suit. (Quick pic before heading out. I fixed the tie before I left)

Awesome fit, I was thinking of purchasing this suit in navy as well.
