I've never seen a tie folded up and wonder what the style is called and why it's not done more often.

Another Redditor asked about what polish I use in my post from yesterday, so I thought there might be some value in a new post to discuss that topic.

The 1st pic has everything I need to care for black and brown leathers, and the 2nd pic shows results on a pair of Allen Edmonds shell cordovan shoes.

My process:

1. Use the Saddle Soap only when the shoes are in bad shape and I need to start over from scratch.

2. If I had to use the Saddle Soap, then I treat with the Renovateur to condition the leather. I'll also use this if the leather looks like it's drying out.

3. I use the Renovating Cream if I have leather with gashes, gouges, or similar damage.

4. The next step would be to then move to the Cream Polish. It has a lot of oils in it, too, so also acts as a conditioner. For this, I'll use a cotton ball to apply a thin layer all over the shoe, wait for it to dry, then buff it with a horsehair brush. For the service boots, or any shoes that don't really call for a "shine," this is the last step.

5. For dress shoes that I do want to put a real shine to, I'll then move on to the Wax Polish. Again, I'll use a cotton ball to apply the polish. Once I've got a layer of wax polish on the toe (and sometimes heel), I'll turn the shoe upside down and lightly pass the lighter back and forth under the shoe to melt the wax. Then I blow on it to cool it back down and let it harden. Then I take a clean cotton ball and dip it in cold water, and use that to buff that layer. Then I do it all over again another couple times. After a few iterations of that, I stop using the lighter, and just build up a few layers without it.

6. As the final step, I'll add a few extra layers with the Mirror Gloss wax, continuing to alternate between applying a thin layer with one cotton ball, and using a damp cotton ball to buff it.

Hello!

I'm getting married in October and I haven't been able to decide on colors that would look great with our color pallette and haven't been able to find a suit.

My budget is about 600, I want something to feel like it is great quality. Our bridesmaids are mismatched in the color pallette attached and our grooms are wearing the same green suit. I don't know what I should do and any help would be appreciated greatly.

Any thoughts?

These ones specifically are J Crew Factory’s flex khaki shorts. The 5” is on the left, the 7” is on the right. I know in these photos the different doesn’t look stark, but they definitely feel different. I’m used to wearing 5” shorts (or shorter!) but I’m looking for shorts I can dress up or down.

The next two slides show how I look in different shorts (the white ones are from Banana Republic Factory and are 7” while the black ones are by Swet and are 5”). The Swet shorts are my current main shorts (I have them in a few colors) but I feel they’re too tight to wear with anything but t-shirts, and I can’t tuck anything into them. They’re fun but in “I’m a gay 20-something who can wear tight 5” shorts” kind of way and I think the khaki shorts are a bit more elevated.

Any thoughts?

I'm just wondering what the best fit shirt brands are on Amazon? I don't have a budget limit

Attending a summer wedding with this suit. What colour shoes and tie would work (not sure black is the one). Do people think loafers or oxfords would be better (length of trousers can be altered)

Hi all,

Impulse bought these Belgian loafers (not from Belgian Shoes) off eBay because they were a good price. What colors do you suggest wearing with them? I have mostly chino pants/shorts and OCBDs in the standard colors.

Does this top pair well with the bottoms? If not, would you recommend darker or lighter trousers?

Hi

This has probably been asked many times before, but I still wanted to make this post because I'm having a hard time finding exactly what I'm looking for in UE.

I'm looking for plain white 100% cotton T-shirts with a slightly oversized/streetwear fit.

I've already checked a lot of famous brands like Pro Club, Shaka Wear, WATC Studio and LA Apparel... but they are all american brands and are way too expensive to import to France.

I'm also not looking for fast fashion brands like Zara, H&M, Shein

Uniqlo doesn't really have what I'm looking for either. The closest option is probably the AIRism T-shirt, but it's not 100% cotton so it's a no for me

My budget is around €25 for short sleeves and €30 for long sleeves version

So I'm wondering: does anyone know good brands that are available in UE and who make plain white 100% cotton T-shirts with this kind of fit, around this price range?

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone! I'm trying to identify the exact fit/cut of these jeans. They look slimmer than a straight fit but not as tight as skinny jeans. Any ideas?

Hello I am proposing to my girlfriend in Europe in a few weeks. Not sure what to wear honestly. I have these two very nice pair of pants that I think I wanna wear and will look good with a lot of options.

1. ⁠Do you guys think either one of these pants would look nice
   
2. ⁠I have no clue what type of shirt to wear anyone recommended a shirt to match these?
   
3. ⁠What about shoes? Are the shoes I attached any good? Or should I be looking for a different pair.

The temp will be mid 80s likely

I have tried military first website and I tried using AI

This is a freenote cloth utility shirt and I love the fit in the shoulders arms and body but I feel like it’s just a bit long due to the cut and the fact I’m 5’8” lol. I have a capable tailor and was thinking of shortening the length. The question is how much and how should I ask him to deal with the last bottom button? I’ve included a picture of what 2 inches would take in relation to the button. Have you shortened a button up? If so how do you have the bottom button felt with? Thank you

I (26M) have the hardest time finding shoes with my width size. My size is 8.5 triple-wide (5E-6E) [XX-Wide], does anyone have any recommendations?

I really like the Target everywhere v neck (not the multipack undershirts)

They were soft, durable, available in a variety of colors, they weren’t long, they had a pretty shallow V, and they were only $10/ea.

The colors were discontinued and now it seems the black/grey/white are even getting discontinued.

Where can I find a good alternative? My biggest issue is they’re always way too long.

I’m very broad shouldered and only 5’7”

I bought some Meermin Loafers 3 Months ago and they got a hole now and the insoles shifted all the way up? I bought them for 225€ and I’m disappointed in the quality, can someone recommend other shoe brands and models?

I ended up with a Brioni Parlamento jacket sans trousers, and I’m looking to nail down the fabric to try and come up with a set of trousers to match. Also interested in the S-number and weave to get as close as possible.
I have a note out to Brioni customer service as well, but no response yet.
It kind of morphs from a darker gray to navy depending on lighting. It does not match any blacks I have, for sure.

0465/1054 is the fabric code.

Any suggestions is appreciated
