    Well, ain't this a geometrical oddity! What does a perfectly straight arc look like?

    Sharp Dressed Man

    If you have a private office with a door you can close and no windows, you could buy a Corby trouser press and keep it in your office. You could put your trousers in there when you got to work, although it'd necessitate sitting around your office in your boxers for ten or fifteen minutes while...

    Tragic alteration of belted-back suit

    It's for that reason that I'm amazed you've stuck around this long, Marc. Or, to be precise, come back a few times. :) The exact fiber content of later Palm Beach cloth has to be the first genuinely new info you've learned around here in ages.

    Tailcoat

    You have some leeway with the fit, depending on whether you're going for any particular historical era. In the early decades of the 20th century, dress suits were cut very slim, trim, and close to the body--a very clean chest, slim waist, tails that hugged the legs, and trousers that were also...

    What are you wearing today??

    Thanks. It's a modern Brooks Brothers suit. Regent cut, gray flannel. Got it for a song during their warehouse sale earlier this year--one of the last things I bought before I quit working for Brooks.

    Men's DRESS BOOTS to suit all budgets.

    I'm fairly certain that you could buy multiple pairs of Converse or basketball shoes for what one pair of Rider boots will set you back. :(

    Men's DRESS BOOTS to suit all budgets.

    Ron Rider of the Rider Boot Co. has a couple of nice dress boot options, and Ron has access to shell cordovan colors that I don't see anywhere else--Horween's #6, cognac, brandy, mahogani, navy. He even does scotch grain shell cordovan, although a scotch grain dress boot would be a terrible mix-up.

    Men's DRESS BOOTS to suit all budgets.

    According to the Allen Edmonds CEO, Paul Grangaard, AE is working on two new lace-up boots for next fall's collection. Quote from the Ask Andy Forums: I'm excited to see the bal boot. It's tantalizing to think we may finally have one available in the US under $700. Anybody have any idea...

    Oh, and by the way, Jose Albaladejo might be surprised to learn that Edward Green is getting credit for his lovely Carmina shell cordovan boots posted above!

    I've got a number of AL shirts and ties. They have the best-looking inexpensive classic repp ties. They're nearly as good as those from Brooks Brothers, Ben Silver, etc., but a whole lot cheaper.

    Not many dress boots in that lineup.

    Fun challenge. Please help me date this vintage German suit.

    Look in a library, perhaps at your local university. The book is pretty rare outside libraries, and often goes for several hundred dollars when a copy shows up on Ebay. And it's even hard to find in libraries, as so many copies have been "liberated" and sold online, given the high price it...

    Fun challenge. Please help me date this vintage German suit.

    Could be. Old-style long underwear, the kind without elastic at the waist, had straps or tapes that one could could loop around one's braces to keep the long johns up. That little buckle thing could have something to do with it.
