I stumbled across this brand on Amazon and I'll start by saying that they're CLEARLY a cheap Chinese brand and some poor children are working their fingers bloody in a sweatshop to make this stuff. I get that. Problem is I really like a LOT of the stuff they have to offer and I've ordered several things for the purpose of experimentation and finding out what I like in person and what looks good on me, what combinations I can make, etc. As you can tell from my profile, I'm new to the scene so I'm still figuring things out and spending $100 per shit will take me forever to do said experimenting. With Coofandy, I can get 4 or 5 shirts for that price. Hell I even bought a linen suit from them as well as a couple of sport jackets. Anyway, I'm trying to find out if anyone else has any experience with them and knows about the fabric/build quality and longevity of the garments they sell. So far, they seem almost too good to be true, but maybe I just don't have a discerning eye? Appreciate the help in advance!

"Unique" and "data" are used wrong all the time! I firmly believe that using our words carefully and accurately is a central aspect of being a well-intentioned gentleman. Vocabulary ensures that what we say is accurately understood by our audience (online and in person). Vocabulary is also the single strongest predictor of overall intelligence on standardized intelligence tests (this was my field of research for about a decade). In order to avoid this coming across as elitist, I want to stress that the two guidances below - certainly pet peeves of mine - are words we use every day rather than something only used in rarified academia or by some PhD on a sartorial forum... 🤓 Unique: its simple definition is "one of a kind". This is dichotomous, like a light is on or off. No in between. Therefore, nothing can be "really unique", or "largely unique" or nearly any other modifier applied to it. When something is not one of a kind, we still like "unique" because it sounds stronger than what we should probably say: very rare. It is, however, wrong and inaccurately conveys our intent. The only appropriate modifier for unique is something which clarifies the noun is becoming unique. If only three of something remain in the world and one is destroyed, saying the final two are "nearly unique" is appropriate. Data: this word is ALWAYS a plural. Datum is the word to describe a single piece of data. This is just like saying "this people is funny" when we mean "this person is funny". As a statistician, you can only begin to imagine how much this drives me nuts because of its near omnipresent use. "These data are impressive" may sound weird at first, but it is the only grammatically appropriate way to say it. I hope this was helpful and not pedantic!

Do any of you guys use a cravat? And if so, when and where?

Gents, I need a little help in finding a pair of jeans. I'm 55 years old, somewhat fit with a "v" body shape. Id like to find some tapered dark rinse jeans, the fit, makes me feel like they are tailored, and that are age appropriate. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
