    What is the proper fit for leather loafers?

    Always go for the smaller, uncomfortable size for unlaced shoes. Or MTM or bespoke. Interior volume will get slightly larger over time. Pain fades, but volume never gets smaller.

    Importance of full canvas vs half canvas?

    I recently had this conversation with someone knowledgeable. Our conclusion was that full canvas construction was perhaps better from a longevity-standpoint and has minor implications on lower drape, but if the garment is made well, even half-canvas can be generally be enough. Some things to...

    Questions about "luxury" shirting

    Very interesting thread. Makes me want to visit your shop Shirtmaven to see what I am missing. From my limited experience: Proper Cloth has a great selection of fabrics, good shopping experience and it’s convenient. Bespoke Shirts from the Bespoke Club in Miami definitely they dialed in the...

    Proper Cloth - Official Affiliate Thread

    Honestly, it's never occurred to me to put a shirt on layaway, so I was not aware of that option. I've missed out on fabrics I wanted because I was like, "I'll sleep on this" and woke up in the morning, welp, sold out. There was a similar situation in another thread, another vendor, a guy paid...

    Proper Cloth - Official Affiliate Thread

    Bonkers request, IMO. How would they "reserve cloth" without knowing what you were going to make with it? And doing it on a sale priced item and waiting months to have them finally make a shirt?

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    Two questions and unfortunately I don't have screenshots, because I can't easily take grabs of Apple TV+ content... Spatz's DB Grey Glen check reminiscent of the famous North by Northwest suiting in episode 2 (The Hour)-- is that fabric available for makeups? The British diplomat (also in Ep...

    Really great show. Watched the first episode last night and I am hooked. Thanks for letting us know about this I would have totally missed it otherwise.

    Double Breasted Style.

    This is a good look, but his trousers are a bit low rise for me and button placement on the blazer isn't perfect.

    New Meermin oxfords quality issue - why is the color coming off?

    Meermin is a budget brand, so you're getting not the highest end finishing. When you pay Meermin price, you cannot expect Lobb finishing. With these, I'd say if they're comfortable, just wear them. Maybe rub some similar color creme on the area to mask it. These are not shoes you pass down to...

    Loafer velvet with a suit???

    If you're the kind of guy wearing velvet slippers aren't you also defining where they can be worn? Is velvet slipper guy really asking us for permission?

    Black Friday haul came in Ripstop Black Chino Pants - I had these made with a Hollywood waistband and single front pleats. This ripstop material is still at an incredible price and makes for great pants. Dark Grey Stretchable Jeans - I wanted some new jeans. All of this stuff is straight...

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    My advice. Put them on carefully. Take a few steps back. Still alive? Boots still in one piece? Try walking a few meters with them. Still good? You are good to go because that's what happens to waxed suede when it rubs against something.
