Over the past few days I have been corresponding on Tumblr with the guy behind Mom Dressed Me This Morning as a follow up to his offer to sell a grenadine tie from E.G. Cappelli on eBay, which at the current price is a great deal if you are in the market.  In short, the point of my response...

suitsupply suits

I have perhaps received as many inquiries on Suitsupply as I have on any number of the made to measure brands I have discussed, and not discussed.  The question is oft worded like this " Okay, but what about Suitsupply?"  A simple enough question.  So I try to keep my answer equally as simple.  My response is often something...

This seasons MRket show in NYC was another strong showing from some great brands.  Brands were showing their goods for fall/winter 2014.  As was the case last June there was a great installation from the gents at Brooklyn Dry Goods (photos above) to greet the attendees.  This time round they choose prohibition as the theme, and executed it exceedingly...

  In my efforts to slim down my wardrobe whilst at the same time make space for new acquisitions I have come across a few things that I plan to part with.  As it seems is the norm for instances like this these days I have posted my items to eBay.  The first is a pair of Oakley Old Glory...

Question: ...So, as background for my real question, I have built a base of quality suits in conservative colors – navy and grey – and I am reviewing the fit of my shirts to bring those in line with the tailored look of my suits.  My real question now though is pattern.  How do you mix or combine patterns?  Suit,...

Austen Heller Driving Loafer

I seem to have chronic difficulty finding reasonably priced casual shoes.  There are nice looking options, but they are $300-400; but nothing that aesthetically pleasing in the $150-200 range.  As a result, I find myself wearing Top Siders almost exclusively. Enter Austen Heller.  A company that is only a few months old but is showing some promise.  The company...

Behind FYGblog is a person, as is the case with all blogs.  And through the growth and travels of the blog and other of life's adventures I have come across many a good friend and many an interesting venture.  It seems that all at once three of these ventures are coming to fruition and I would feel remiss not...

American Trench

I have oft relished in my love for Philadelphia and The Main Line.  And now that I am spending much of my time back here I have been keeping an eye out for brands and stores that are based here.  One of which is American Trench, which was brought to my attention by Jake over at Modern Fellows. A few...

"Let me begin by saying, you all dress up pretty nice."  Was how Mr. Obama opened up his speech at the Inaugural Ball.  Kind words, no doubt.  But sad that they do not apply the the man speaking them.  Especially since said man is the President of our great country.  Even the Vice President got the memo and absolutely...

passagio cravatte tie

I have in the past referred to Vesper Lynd's statement that 'there are dinner jackets and then there are dinner jackets' in Casino Royale.  The latter being something worthy of admiration and recognition.  Well, Passaggio Cravatte is one of the tie makers that make ties and not ties.  In fact, the nicest tie that I, and probably any man...
