I agree with the others--it's a somewhat casual shoe, best for sportsjackets, blazers, or dressing down a suit, say for dinner. While I have a pair black Brooks Brothers monk straps, and get a fair amount of use out of them, I really like them in suede, and have a pair from Alden. I know Church's ma...

I greatly enjoy John Allan's in New York. http://www.johnallans.com/ . My sense is that it's probaby a little less traditional, but their full service (including a short massage, manicure, and shoe polishing along with the haircut) is a wonderful break in the day and can leave one feeling a little ...

Now That's What I Call A Spread Collar!

Hi all, Does anybody what the story or concept is behind this Ralph Lauren collar? I don't think I've ever seen a spread collar cut so far back: http://polo.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pPOLO2-2057857_standard_v330.jpg It seems like it's almost a reversal of the typical collar's forward direct...

IN NYC, I think Smith and Wollensky would be the place for a ribeye While in New York last month for business, my wife and I had a marvelous time in Smith & Wollensky's Grill Room, which is open later and a little less formal than their main dining room. It's a great late night place to unwind. (Th...
