Expertise
I can answer any and all questions concerning men's clothing under the following categories: clothing etiquette (like what to wear for certain functions), quality (how to see if something is well-made), specific brands (a brand name doesn't mean good quality), questions about individual products (neckwear, sport jackets, trousers, etc.), and even questions about certain specialty stores. Please do not: ask what a certain celebrity is wearing (with a link of a pic), where you can find some article that's hard to find or "I need a new wardrobe, can you tell me what items to get?" questions (visit your local specialty or department store for that answer).
Experience
I am a menswear designer and sell under the "Zaharoff" label, sold in specialty stores like Nordstrom. I have traveled the four corners of the globe and have been to many different factories. I have been doing this for over fifteen years.
Organizations
I belong to the organization of humanity.
