What are some cheaper alternatives to BoO-like shirts in terms of fit? I heard the Ben Sherman ones were good but I don't know whether to go with the Mod or the Soho fit.

[mofonyx]

really silly question.

If a top/blazer/shirt is size 48, does it mean 48cm chest (pit to pit)?

Thanks.

Thanks.

If it's European sizing, subtract 10, and that number is the chest (in inches) it's sized for. A European 48 would fit a 38" chest, for example.

If it's American sizing, you don't need to subtract 10, just use the number itself (e.g. European 48 = American 38).

i was looking at the drkshdw jeans on yoox and i am wondering about the inseams. do they come in different lengths? some look long and others look pretty short. also, i know the detroit is slim and the berlin is a little fuller, but is there another fit? a couple of those pairs look really full. thanks.

somehow yoox makes everything look a little bit crappy

Zubin, just find a classic pair of wingtips/oxfords/etc. - try eBay, can get them for cheap. I've been rocking this pair of Sebago derby's I found which are just plain and brown, and comfy as hell. I rock them dressy or casual, all depends on what look you're going for.

from oki-ni

Any customs or import duties are charged once the parcel reaches its destination country. These charges must be paid by the recipient of the parcel.

Unfortunately, we have no control over these charges, and cannot tell you what the cost would be, as customs policies and import duties vary widely from country to country. It might be a good idea to contact your local customs office for current charges before you order, so you are not surprised by charges you were not expecting.

I heard sometimes you get lucky and slip away under their radar.,,,

help me find a suit?

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qjpwnPW4c1o/RwQMjN-8PfI/AAAAAAAACNE/HzVvgKdZXdE/s1600-h/JWtuxw.jpg

looking through the sartorialist for the sort of fit i want, this looks amazing. doesn't have a jacket, but i guess you can sort of extrapolate that from the pants?

wanna keep the cost of suit/tailoring under 6-700, preferably less. would going for club monaco or something and tailoring it work? i also want to be able to wear the jacket and pants separately, not worth buying something i can't do that with given how often i'd wear a suit.

maybe i've asked this in the past, i forget.

edit: or maybe thick as thieves?
