    Genuine shell cordovan shoes

    I'm still loving these shoes... they get look better and better with time. It's time to buff them out again, so i'll post a pic after I get to it.

    You should know better and so should your tailor!

    Carry Grant would rather go lapelless.

    You should know better and so should your tailor!

    It's always been a labor of love to work with a tailor and a client to get a suit looking perfectly right. My day job has become my complete focus so I'm out of the suit business. I wrote this a while ago and updated a few dates in there to make it current. I just thought the information...

    Presenting: Tidbits on Clark Gable's Tailored Wears

    You can see how balance and drape of the masculine look of the 1930s was perfected in the suits Clark Gable wore. In 2013, we live in a time where pants and vests fight for where a man’s waist should be, but in the eyes of Eddie Schmidt in the 1930s (Clark Gable's Tailor), there was no...

    You should know better and so should your tailor!

    The jacket ends up most difficult to describe because it harbors all the details. To make it easy I drew the suit with measurements for certain pieces so there would be no question of how it would look on my body. A three-button front with no cutaway so I may button all three should I wish (King...

    It's always been a labor of love to work with a tailor and a client to get a suit looking perfectly right. My day job has become my complete focus so, for now, I'm stepping away from doing custom suits . I wrote this a while ago and updated a few dates in there to make it current. I just...

    Modern menswear done right.

    This is a great picture! Gingham Plaid Solid... and the shoulders.. the lapels... the vest. I'll break it down after you see it. If Fairbanks were alive today he'd enjoy it too. Distracting but not obnoxious. Balanced. Tom Hanks

    From walking to dancing without changing your shoes.

    When picking an Allen Edmonds shoe, it really comes down to the last that creates the foot shape. They are all sturdy well made shoes. When I buy them I tend to go for anything on the #1 last as it has a wider fore foot and narrower heel that accommodates my foot. Something else you might look...

    From walking to dancing without changing your shoes.

    Well made dress shoes will alsays be well made dress shoes. $150 is a good price and I'm very keen on that under 200 dollar mark. I might have to get a pair in the future to see how well the leather uppers are in person. My list is compiled for the comfort minded, so I ultimately will always...

    I remember that day very well; and so does my stomach! You been to many LA events?

    From walking to dancing without changing your shoes.

    There are a lot of shoes that are specifically designed for dance and dance alone, and because of this they are completely comfortable to the foot on a dance floor, yet lack the beefy sole needed to take on sand on concrete. They are good on the dance, but transfer anything under foot directly...

    From walking to dancing without changing your shoes.

    I don't know if I posted this on the Lounge yet, but I couldn't find the original thread so here is a new version of the thread that is updated. For dancers who like to wear suits, yet don't always like to look like they are strictly wearing their shoes for dancing. I tend to always wear a...

    A question for the shoe mavens, Matt Deckard, et al

    For the past 10 years you'd have to really go high end to get the round toed shoes I prefer. It's not just about the style, it's about the comfort. It's true that the narrow pointier toe has always been looked at as the dressier shoe. People want their feet to look sleek. The bigger shoe with...

    WWII Army Officers Dress Shoes

    I bring you the Decatur plain toe from Johnston and Murphy. There may not be enough holes for the long laces we desire... and yes there is something to that look of rows of holes, but this shoe will have to do. What it has against it it makes up for in comfort. And the last is pretty darn...

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    Very well done... Looks very cool. I love the longer point on a vest! Wear it well! Can't wait to see the jacket!
