An Honest Assessment
Your Questions Answered
It’s been a while since I answered your questions. I thought I might try to do this on a Saturday to see how that goes. Veteran readers know we’ve gone into a rather arcane level detail regarding Oxford cloth shirts and chinos (Drake’s and RRL), so let’s steer clear of those topics, vital as they are.
For those new to the proceedings, ask a question in the comment section and I’ll respond as best I can. Let’s limit things to one question each, for the sake of sanity and symmetry. And if you’re asking about travel please be specific about what you’re looking for—I can’t give entire city guides or itineraries, but hopefully I can point you in the right direction. And for those curious about Paris, I addressed that here.
So ask away. This is the best forum if you want my opinion on anything—DMs and emails often end up in the digital shredder.
Thanks!

This is a comment more than a question. I recently did a fitting in Denver with Sid Mashburn, and I highly recommend guys trying that out, because that was one of the best retail experiences I’ve ever had. I went there with a friend who needed a whole new wardrobe and I was just there to support him, I ended up buying a pair of their jeans and their canvas Chino. There was no pressure and the guys were a lot of fun. I also had a really great experience at the Buck Mason retailer in Denver. Their pants and jeans are great quality and fit. They have a full bar to wet your whistle while you shop. Really great experience, not just cause I got lit up on some good whiskey! ;-) Just spreading the love!

I don't have any questions but wanted to let you know we enjoyed a few of your recommendations this past weekend in NYC. We made it to both Frenchette and I Sodi for dinner, both were terrific, as was Via Carota for lunch one day. In discussion with a client a couple of weeks ago who is local, I relayed your recommendations and she noted "sounds like you're in good hands." Thanks again, Pat
