    Options for buying leather pants besides Vanson?

    I was looking for some advice on getting a pair of leather pants. I previously bought a pair from Vanson, but they were really constricting and heavy and I really just didn't like them. I understand Vanson is considered a good brand so I'm not knocking them, but I'd like to know if anyone can...

    Cheaper alternatives to YSL designer style leather jackets?

    I was looking into the possibility of getting a leather jacket that's a different style from my current one(Schott Perfecto), and I really love the look of YSL's leather jackets. They generally have a sleek kind of style to them and look more like a "fashion" jacket and less like a classic...

    Recommendations for men's dress shoes?

    I was looking for a men's dress shoe, admittedly I'm not very knowledgeable about that kind of shoe. I already have boots, its shoes I'm looking for. As for lace or slip on, I wasn't sure, I'd assume lace. I'm generally thinking of "gentleman" style shoes, if that makes sense, but with a sharper...

    Recommendations for men's dress shoes?

    I'd say from a few hundred dollars to around $500 or $600. For these kind of shoes I don't really know what the price points are for them to be worth it. I do know that I want to avoid going into the really high prices designer items get into, where you're getting into almost $1,000 and such.

    Is it worth it trying to get the sleeves hemmed on this velvet shirt?

    Thanks for the responses so far. I'm curious, going by the photo, what do you think of the length and look overall? Does it look fine as is? Or would you say it really does need the sleeves hemmed? Also, the shirt is actually velveteen, not velvet, does that matter? Wasn't sure if that would...

    Is it worth it trying to get the sleeves hemmed on this velvet shirt?

    I bought a really nice leopard print velvet shirt recently, and I love how it looks and fits. However, the sleeves seem rather long: You can see how far it goes down my hand that's hanging down. Does anyone know if it would be feasible to have the sleeves hemmed a couple inches? I wasn't...

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    I have an opportunity to buy a vintage navy peacoat, and was curious about two things in particular. One is, I wonder if anyone can tell if it's truly vintage and determine its authenticity from looking at it? The seller doesn't have much information on it, like it's background or what time...

    Any good suit recommendations?

    Thanks for the responses so far! I'm curious, how do the suits from both SuitSupply, and that Spier & Mackay fit? True to size, larger, or smaller fit? I see some sources claiming both sizes fit slim and not true to size, is this true?

    Any good suit recommendations?

    I was interested in getting a really nice suit, something nice and fitted and classy looking. But I didn't want to spend thousands of dollars trying to get a Tom Ford(either from the site directly or second hand), or trying to spend that much getting one custom made. Does anyone have any...

    Does my hat sit on my head properly?

    Can anyone let me know if my hat is sitting on my head properly? I was worried that maybe it was sitting too high on my head, but I wasn't sure and figured I'd ask for outside opinions.

    Quality of recycled leather for clothing(such as leather pants)?

    The pants I am thinking of are new pants, but made from recycled leather, so more like the second thing you mentioned, and not refurbished pants. By cheap, would you say definitely not as good quality as something like say calfskin leather as an example?

    Quality of recycled leather for clothing(such as leather pants)?

    I bought a pair of leather pants before that was made of steerhide, which sadly ended up being too stiff for my liking(since I'm not a biker and am wearing this for fashion). I recently just saw a pair of leather pants being sold that's made from recycled leather. Is recycled leather good...

I use it for my leather boots/shoes, but wasn't sure if it was ok to use on a leather belt. Anyone with any...

    Soft leather jackets in the $500 to $1,000 price range?

    I was looking around for leather jackets, and was trying to find in particular a leather jacket made of a more soft type leather(ie. lamb, calf, kangaroo, etc.), and in more of a "fashion" style, like something more sleek as opposed to the more bulky biker/gear type look. Looking around...

    Stopping dye bleeding/dye transfer from my leather jacket's belt?

    Ok, I tried contacting them, but all they said to me was to buff it with a wet cloth and it might stop. They seemed uninterested and generally unhelpful. Thank you for the suggestion though. I sorta figured I'm probably just going to need to deal with it as part of owning this jacket. One...
