alilja asked: I know they're Style Forum-approved, but what do you, a regular, well-dressed guy think of shirt darts? I was thinking of putting some into some of my shirts to see if I can get a better fit.
Hi everyone
Emphasis mine. Travis he’s referring to is Mr. Gumbs of Street Etiquette. dieworkwear’s plan, I should add, is brilliant.
Might as well note here that a great reason for keeping the credit when you reblog (aside from courtesy) is that these guys getting all this attention will never know.
I think at least a half dozen ladies were ready to marry James Jean after I posted the bicycle...

Anonymous asked: The gloves that Commerce with a Conscience recommends are a bit on the "work glove" side - durable, but very thick and shapeless. Just a heads up.

manshion.: where do I start? pt.1 →
I love this guy’s sense of humor. Great “essential wardrobe” post.
manshion:
If your closet were to catch fire and you had to start all over again, this would be a great foundation for your new wardrobe … If your first inkling was to head to Express to get some bold striped, military inspired shirting, you are dead wrong. Stop it.

A Challenge to All: Wear a Tie Tomorrow
Tomorrow marks the last day of Will’s 100 Days of Ties Project. Appropriately enough, it falls on a Friday, whose relaxed dress codes have led to ties being a novelty in many workplaces.
Over the past few months, the project has energized the online men’s style community and emboldened guys (and girls!) across the country to not just wear a tie to casual offices, but to do it like it...
Thanks everyone for your congratulations regarding...
And while I appreciate the bold predictions about my future children’s steez, the goal is to teach them to clothe themselves “with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience”.

Tumblr Tuesday: Recommend Yourself
Back in the earlier days of this site, I made it a point to check out the sites of everyone who was kind enough to follow me. I have limited time and attention span, so couldn’t follow everyone, but I figured every follower deserved a look as a courtesy.
Lately, that’s been very, very hard to do, and Tumblr’s interface doesn’t make it easy for me to figure out whose sites...
Anonymous asked: This is one of my favorite tumblrs and I'm learning a lot, so thank you! I was taken by your post about the versatility of a navy blue knit tie -- what's a good place to find them? LE Canvas only carries a black and J Crew's is nice but a bit pricey at $50. Tie Bar doesn't seem to have a navy. Any other ideas? Thanks!
jonwong asked: Thanks sir. Will look into those options!

I think there might be an urban coupon code out for an extra !0% off as well.

takingcallsoffthewishline asked: For the user asking about a new chambray - check out Penfield's website, their f/w stuff is on sale and their shirts are made very well. They fit a little slimmer in my opinion (I wear a J. Crew medium and the Penfield M is a little tight on me)

jonwong asked: Looking for a new blue chambray shirt. I have my old jcrew one Ive been wearing regularly. I tried on a new one at jcrew this past weekend and it fit huge. Any suggestions on something slim fitting but casual? Budget around $100ish. Many Thanks.
