cbenjamin replied to your post: Recommendations on a solid blue job interview tie for around $50? I’m pretty slender and the suit has 3 inch lapels, so the tie should probably be 3 inches wide, right? Trying to avoid the Tie Bar route. Would be willing to spend more if I really liked it. Thanks a ton and I really enjoy following you.

Pow.
cbenjamin replied to your post: I just recently saw NBA-TV analyst Greg Anthony wearing a suit that had two breast pockets. Since I never noticed that feature on a suit before, I’d like to know what your thoughts on this are. Great & inspiring blog, btw!
I have seen Greg Anthony dress… I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a EG-esque hunting jacket. More like a Stever Harvey suit with few buttons “But look! There’s an extra breast pocket!”
Pretty much what I guessed when I saw "NBA-TV analyst."
cbenjamin replied to your post: I bought a pair of Uniqlo jeans - 36W X 34L. Then I ended up losing a bunch of weight, so now they’re too loose. I wear it with a belt, but it’s not just very comfortable. Is it possible to get the waist cinched by a tailor without changing the look of the jeans significantly?
Given the way jean waists are constructed, I have no idea how one could get the waist on denim altered without taking them to someone that makes jeans. Most waist alterations need to go in in the seat as well.
And this is why I'm terribly unqualified to answer "can this be done?" alterations questions. Thanks, Mr. Rucker.
Looks like a Norfolk hybrid. Normally a Norfolk jacket will have a belted waist and harnesses on the shoulders like a lot of the current Black Fleece collection. Looks like they just left the harnesses off this jacket.
Ding, ding, ding! Thanks a million.
False positive. I'm an 8.5D. :(

You should have sat on this and scooped them yourself, homie. Some things don’t need to be broadcasted.

"I think in an editorial world driven by advertising dollars we have gotten “want” and “need” extremely convoluted. Things like slim cargos and quilted blazers have become “essentials” when some simple trousers and a topcoat will do."

Menswear needs more of this kind of thinking. I feel like perfection of the essentials is far more interesting than new trends every season.
