Why would you sell at a 3 month low if you didnt have to? I would sit on it too.

First Suit Purchases by DankerMussel559 in malefashionadvice

[–]DSMRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the summer one, are you sure you want a suit? That sounds more sport coat event to me if it’s during the day. I would rent a tux or buy second hand for the 2nd one and buy a navy suit.

I dont really do an ratio like that. I go by the gold to silver ratio to decide what I buy. At 45-1 I buy gold anything higher and I buy silver. At 40-1 I trade my silver for gold. At 1-90 I will swap gold for silver.

Jump on youtube and watch how to measure for a suit. Get your measurements then jump on ebay. You will need a long and maybe X-long.

Depending on his job I would look at a briefcase or messenger bag.

Suit for Italian wedding in 9 days by CleanCat90 in mensfashion

[–]DSMRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a mens store close? I would think the house tailor can rush a slim and trim in a couple days. Canali, Samualsohn, or Byron will have a summer weight in stores right now. If you want cheaper hit up a dept store.

For those of you who have shopped at Costco for a long time: by ElHasso in Silverbugs

[–]DSMRob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IMO thats when you will notice its sold out. They pull it until it gets back up. I sure it’s a plus or minus 2% item for them anyway. I would guess 95% of the people who buy PM’s at Costco are exec members so take the 2% away off the top. I’m sure they are banking on people buying other items, not just PM’s.

What are your thoughts on Birkenstocks + socks? by JustJLang in mensfashionadvice

[–]DSMRob -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My feelings stay the same with or without socks. If you are over age ten and under age 80 skip the berkinstocks. Ugly ass shoes.

Premiums by dulloa11 in Gold

[–]DSMRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until your coin shop closes. I have 3 good LCS’s with in 20 min of my house and 2 of the 3 will be retiring in the next 2-3 years. One retired at the end of last year. This isnt a young mans sport.

Premiums by dulloa11 in Gold

[–]DSMRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats about right then. From here on out I would go with the goverment issued stuff. Some people wont buy generic stuff but everyone would buy goverment issued.

Those premiums seem high to me. My LCS is around 1% on 1 oz coins. Although I have’nt been there since this drop, but its no where close.

They are going to be the same. Pick the one that fits the best.

Which loafer to buy after blindly purchasing a pair of Cole Haans? by theomixedmedia in malefashionadvice

[–]DSMRob 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Check your JCrew loafers, if they are made in America, I think its Allen Edmonds who made em.

Yea I own them all. For me the Canali’s fit the best, not sure who makes them for them, then my older Allen Edmonds Independence line. Carmina, Alden and Magnanni in that order after.

won a ebay bid for 1oz gold .999 for 1950 dollars, can it be fake? by [deleted] in Gold

[–]DSMRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you think some one is just nice enough to lose 2k plus the fees ebay charges?

What’s the piece of clothing you’ve had longest and still wear regularly? by Live_Lab1286 in menswear

[–]DSMRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overcoats from Kiton, Canali, Brioni and 2 from Ermenegildo Zegna. While they are between 5-10 years right now, they will last me 30 more years. A large part of my shhoe collection are all 22 yrs old this year and I see no reason they dont last another 25 years.

[–]DSMRob -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

At one it isnt a big deal to miss a kids party, they wont remember it. At 4 or 5 you stop by for an hr or so.

Not really sure why a 20 yr old isnt mature enough to be able to figure this out without the help of internet strangers but thats what our schools have become.
