    Links and Studs 1 year ago

    I bought one years ago, and made sure to get a really universal and classic style. It has been a useful addition to the wardrobe, and even allows me to deal cards and roulette for holiday corporate parties. I would suggest anyone to invest $250 in good shoes and a tuxedo, it will surely return the investment. Mine has lasted more than 10 years, and been worn more than twice a year. $12.50 per use! I just keep an eye out for Links and Studs on sale, and pick up a new shirt every so often(cheap uniform shirts are free, and no one can tell if the sleeves are missing with the jacket on-SUMMER TIP).

    And Last… The Tie.

    Learn to tie a bowtie.
    It is SIMPLE.
    It is only a square not with the ends out(a bow just like your shoe laces SHOULD be).
    If you do not know what a square knot is, learn that first.
    There is a right way and a wrong way to tie a square knot.
    After you are familiar with this distinction, the directions that are included with your bowtie will make sense.
    Practice, then, on your upper thigh. This will allow you to focus more clearly in the beginning. It shouldn’t be difficult after a few times “getting it”. It’s really just like tying your shoe. Questions? Send me a message on 43people.

    How can you go wrong?

    It makes a great impression on a date, even a date with your wife. Comes in super handy for weddings. Moves New Years Eve up just a notch. And is pretty damn impressive to say that you own one.



    THE Suit of suits 4 years ago

    I’ve decided that the next time I need a tuxedo, I’m going to buy one instead of renting one. Or, what the heck!, I may just buy one anyway.
