This is going to be a quicker review than usual as there is not that much one can really possibly say about a tee shirt. Bluffworks, for those unfamiliar, is a company famous for making some truly great tech-wear garments. They were one of the first, and remain amongst the best…
Read moreCustom Pants Online From Woodies — A Review
We have reviewed custom shirts from Woodies before in the past. Our conclusion? Solid fabrics, solid construction and quality, but a lackluster website and not a super flexible pattern leading to difficulty in truly nailing down a perfect fit. Overall, then, solid, but not if you’re super picky about fit. This winter, though, they released flannel-lined chinos. These are something I have wanted for some time, but usually are not available in a fit that I want…
Read moreOliver Wicks Custom MTM Suits In Review — Will They Reign Supreme?!?!
We continue to build out our collection of online MTM reviews, especially with suits and tailoring. And no discussion of that would be complete without reviewing Oliver Wicks. They custom suits start at $549 and go up from there. They are a well-respected and well-known custom suit brand, but how do they stack up? Here is our review and comparison…
Read moreReview: TailorStore Custom Blazers
We have taken a loot at TailorStore before. We reviewed their shirts, in fact. This time, though, we are looking at their blazers ($215+). We concluded that their shirts were actually a very solid value, so the question now is whether the same thing is true about their blazers and more formal “tailoring”…
Read moreA Review Of The White Leather Sneaker That Started A Trend: The Common Projects Achilles
If you are looking for a clean and simple pair of white sneakers look no further than the Common Projects white original Achilles ($410). Common Projects is known for quality and simplicity throughout its products. In this review, we will be focusing on the white original Achilles sneaker that started the clean, minimalist, white leather sneaker cult…
Read moreEveryone’s Favorite Menswear Brand Just Released Sunglasses: A Review Of The New Spier & Mackay Shades (+ Giveaway!)
We’ve spoken about Spier & Mackay at length before on the site. They are widely regarded as one of the best values in menswear these days, and we have been big fans of theirs from the very beginning. As time has gone on, and as major big-box retailers like J Crew have been on the decline, Spier & Mackay have been expanding their offerings from suits and dress shirts to ties, shoes, chinos, polos, sweaters, and now, sunglasses as well…
Read moreBreathe New Life Into Your Watches! We Review Holben’s Watch Straps
We’re big fans of watches around these parts. Which should come as no surprise to anyone reading this, since a proper wristwatch is the completion to any outfit. It’s the one sort of “jewelry” piece that men get to wear, and it’s a great way to make a subtle statement, and show off your personality. The thing is, though, that after many years of wear you might become a little bit bored with your watch…
Read moreReview: Blank Label’s Custom Tailored Pants
Here we are, back once again with another review of online, MTM clothing. We have taken a look at Blank Label before, specifically their custom shirt offerings. While they have a clean website, nice fabric curation, and produce a quality garment, we found their fit inconsistent across multiple orders, perhaps the biggest flaw in their system…
Read moreReview: Tani Undershirts & Thermals — Is A $75 Undershirt Worth It???
Readers seemed to really like our coverage of Tani’s luxurious underwear, and so we are back once again with some more products of theirs in review. This time they sent over some things to wear up top and opposed to down below. First is their full set of thermals ($145)…
Read moreHockerty Custom Topcoat Review — How Is Placing A Second Order???
We have reviewed Hockerty before — including their outerwear — but a great test of a MTM company is whether they can produce garments with any level of consistency. This is especially true with offerings like outerwear which is not a super-easy thing to get right, and should only be offered if it can be done correctly. We were not at all happy with the consistency (or lack thereof) when it came to Hockerty’s shirts but we wanted to see if perhaps the experience with their outerwear would be different…
