Anonymous asked: Notice you have at least a couple suits from Thick as Thieves. I've been wavering over whether to do the online MTM thing. I'm ready to take the leap (and happen also to be trying to dress well, or at least not miserably and within my means, in the Bay Area).

mikecarper3434 said: Any ideas on where I can find a good knit tie? Thanks so much.
There are lots of great choices at every price point. The Knottery is a great deal, especially when on sale. Land’s End ties are a good value when on deep discount. Kent Wang and Howard Yount provide a good quality per dollar ratio as well. High end makers like Drake’s and Ralph Lauren Purple...

Anonymous asked: Hey there--Building up my dressy business casual wardrobe (NYC law firm) from scratch, and I think I'm doing well. However, I want one more pair of shoes, but I can't decide what it should be.

Anonymous asked: Hi, Really nice blog and your product shots are great. Quick question regarding the 'oak brown' belt from Equus. I am considering buying the belt taking advantage of the sale you posted. Have you tried that belt with a darkish grey suit? If not, what is your opinion on whether it will go with it. thanks and look forward to your future postings.

letsmakeaplan asked: Hello! Need advice in finding denim (not chambray) shirt. Quite rough, fitted and without those western details. Budget is $150 (but it would be nice to get one under $100). Thanks:)
jamesfucillo asked: I really like the belts. They have a nice "finished" look, as compared to the casual look one usually attributes to bridle leather belts. Anyhow, in the picture of the oak brown belt & loafers, you have a pretty killer looking wallet/money clip. What kind is it? If you don't mind me asking.
