As for the pilling, no brush is going to fix that if it's severe. Set aside an hour of your life, grab a razor blade and tweezers, and *carefully* remove the pills from the surface one by one by lightly pulling the pill off the surface with the tweezers and then shearing it off with the blade. It's a zen experience and once you're done you'll actually have an even softer sweater.

Quick question that will probably open up pandora's box, but as a recent transplant to Minnesota, how do I found a jacket that will keep me warm in sub-zero temps that doesn't make me look like I'm climbing Mt Everest? I recently bought a Fjallraven Greenland Winter Jacket and gave it a whirl when it was 15 degrees and it didn't hold up at all (with a cotton henley and merino sweater underneath). I'd really like the waxed canvas, workwear style jackets both aesthetically and functionally (I do a lot of woodworking and manual stuff around the house). Here's a couple of inspiration photos I dug up (Fjallraven greenland and Patagonia maple grove, respectively).

Can anyone identify the shoes from the recent BR slim traveler pant review? The shoes in the last picture of the article:

Looking for some advice on leather jackets: I want to pick up a racer-style leather jacket during this holiday season (Black Friday or Boxing Day), something in the CAD $300 - $400 range.
Was looking at this particular jacket from Superdry: https://www.superdrystore.ca/ca-en/m...t-jacket-black
Not sure how the quality or value on this is, any advice or additional options would be helpful.
Thanks in advance!

Unless you are unusually short and slender I would opt for a standard width. (For reference I am 5’9”, ~150 lbs, 36R jacket, and wear standard width ties.) I own several Chipp grenadines and am very satisfied with them. They are a little less expensive than some of the other brands like Kent Wang.Ben

I have a Sam Hober tie and I love it--my favorite tie--except I wish I had gone with my instinct instead of David Hober's suggestion on the width. I think the 3.5 inch width is just a tad too wide. My next one will be 3 3/8ths.
And that's one of the great things about a Sam Hober tie--you can get it made exactly to the dimensions you want.
If you haven't had a grenadine tie, be aware that you might need to use a different knot than what you usually use. And that could impact how long you want the tie made. But if you go with a Sam Hober tie, David will explain that when you order one.WHY ARE THE GUYS IN SUITS HERE? HAS SOMETHING GONE WRONG?

What are people's thoughts on paring a navy sweater (like this one: https://www.patagonia.com/product/me...id=mens-fleece) with dark wash denim? Too matchy?
