Is she right?
Eh. His collar needed lowering, the skirt on the center-vent jacket was too tight, and going down a size to get rid of excess room in the waist is a bad idea if the shoulders and chest fit correctly. -

Balmoral Boots
Just came across these, made by Romano Martegani for Heimie's Haberdashery in St. Paul, MN. Duncan at Heimie's told me they're $440.- Orgetorix

Do you own a Tux?
The tailcoat is nearly extinct, or virtually so. There are perhaps two or three major events in the US that specify white tie in their dress code. Black tie events, on the other hand, are plentiful. The average middle-class Ricky Ricardo may not wear one on a weekly basis anymore, but most... -
Dress like you want to be President
Paddy, I don't think that politicians (especially Presidents and Presidential candidates) generally deserve praise simply for wearing a suit and tie. They don't, by and large, do it because they're "flying a flag" for anything. They don't do it because they enjoy dressing up or looking good... -
Help on U.K. shoe sizes?????
It really will depend on the last and your foot shape. Sizes and shapes will vary considerably from manufacturer to manufacturer, and even within a single company's different lasts. For example, I normally (that is, most often) wear a US 11.5D. That's the case, for example, for Allen-Edmonds'...- Orgetorix

FREE Men's Cufflinks
Nope, I don't own a one. I went looking for vintage collar studs a couple of weeks ago, but my local vintage store was closed for the month.- Orgetorix

First-time Tuxedo Buyer
You might keep an eye out on Ebay for a vintage tuxedo in your size. Because they were not worn as often or as hard, they're much more plentiful than vintage suits and can often be had fairly cheaply. Just make sure you get trousers and jacket together. It's virtually impossible to match... -
So when did the boater sink from popular wear?
:offtopic: The costuming in that movie was all right, except for the ties. Big, fat, godawful ugly '70s things that looked nothing like what '30s men wore. I've noticed the same phenomenon in other "period" movies made around the same time. -
Do u wear khakis with crease in the middle?
I'm confused, too. Who is "u," and why do we care whether they wear creases in their trousers? Is it shorthand for these guys?- Orgetorix

Do you own a Tux?
I have one. I got it cheap at a Jos. A Banks outlet three years ago. I had three or four opportunities to wear it the first year I owned it, and only one chance since then. -

Balmoral Boots
The rules for boots are the same as for shoes. Bals are more formal than bluchers, and the more brogueing a shoe has, the more casual it is. The Shannon is the most formal of the above, and is appropriate with suits. The Galway and the Halifax would be appropriate with more casual attire such...- Orgetorix
