What is your take on undershirts? I always wear them under dress, button down, or polo shirts. It helps keep the life in my nice shirts, since all the sweat is taken by the undershirt. My shirts would be horribly stained after a few uses without them. I've always stuck with white since matching the undershirt color to my outfit never worked for me. Recently I've been trying different neck shapes. My standard is the basic crew neck. I tried the V neck but don't like it because most of the time the color peeks out under the shirt and I think the intention is to not see the undershirt. I'm now starting to like the U or boat neck. It never shows or peeks out. I definitely think it looks cleaner with certain outfits.

I’m starting to plan my next few suits (hopefully soon), and I’m stuck on a decision. Do I stick with what I know and love, like another couple of Canali Kei suits (currently have 1), or explore a lower-cost Made to Measure brand? The price difference will be negligible, but I’m wondering about the quality difference. Some context: 1. I only buy fully canvassed 2. No artificial fabrics, only natural fibers 3. I prefer soft tailoring and unstructured or lightly structured styles, like the Kei 4. Fit and comfort matter a lot to me 5. I only buy jackets with functional buttons. Yes, I’m picky and I’m good with that. Also, do you have any brands you would recommend in the $1,000 to $2,500 range? That is my range at the moment. Although Kei, I can buy and get tailored for anywhere in that range. I’d love to hear what’s worked for others who value fabric, construction, and a soft tailoring aesthetic. So I’m putting it to the community. Which do you prefer (and why)?

So I know you match your belt to your shoes. That sounds so easy. I plan on getting the dark brown belt from anson belts because I figure dark brown shoes/boots would be the best way to go saving black shoes for more formal things. Well, looking into shoes and boots I’ve found finding the same coloring of brown might be a tad more difficult than I thought. I know that shopping online for colors is going to be tough. Any suggestions? Any brick and mortar stores that sell quality shoes that could be suggested? I’m sure there won’t be a 100% color match but it would really bother me having drastically different shades of brown

I like this sweater, but not sure how to dress it up. It goes well with a casual jeans and sneakers, but what else. First time wearing this kind of sweater design.
