    New business in Saville Row…

    Interesting to find this today - in an area where many high-end shops have closed down lately.

    Shave alternative to Conair?

    I cannot find Conair in my market, and Amazon will not send it to my country! There must be alternatives that will do a good job?

    How accurate can you buy clothes you come to use?

    Over the few years I have been following this forum, I have noticed I am not the only one who tends to buy more clothes than I end up using. I am now entering a fourth stage in my buying life: I started buying clothes I needed, on a student budget, yet something like half the clothes I bought I...

    New buttons for this dark grey coat?

    I am very pleased with this d’Avenza wool coat, very practible, nice looking, versatile and fitting! But are the buttons right? A knowledgable observer thought not, and ever since I have been uncertain!

    Exploring Japanese clothing

    Is there a uniform entity that can be defined as Japanese clothing, and how can it be explored? Maybe there are several entities and that not all appeal to me, but call me interested and in need of learning. Over the last several years I have dipped in these waters with purchases like Ring...

    Sour grapes - or, really, taking a stand

    During the last four years I have taken a belated interest in clothing. Initiated by a weight loss that more or less left my old wardrobe useless, I had to source new clothes rather rapidly, and found through eBay, Internet sales and sales in general that I could collect a far better wardrobe...

    Who made this Vacca suit?

    Just received this Vacca suit bought through an auction! Fits reasonably well, though I am wondering about who made it. I guess I am fishing for the participation of Attolini in this one, but I really do not think so. Anyway, it is nice, did not cost a fortune, and will probably be used only...

    Brunello sneakers

    I just bought a pair of Brunello sneakers at a big discount (40 %). But they are still very expensive, and I am not sure this is a good deal. They do not look particularly better than high-end sneakers from other producers. I bought them for two reasons. They fit my wide feet. When I tried...

    How can tracksuits command such high prices?

    How can tracksuits command such high prices? I have seen tracksuits in Harrods in London priced well above very expensive real suits. Thousands of dollars, pounds or euros. EBay also quote extreme original prices, and had I not seen these items at ordinary retail prices I would have thought...

    Warm overcoats

    Does anyone make warm overcoats anymore? If I do not want a down filled coat, and certainly not a shearling, are there any options of warm and elegant overcoats of medium to long length?

    When to use a dark blue velvet jacket?

    Suddenly, out of nowhere, my tailor handed me a dark blue velvet jacket. It fitted perfectly, or will if I loose 2 kg. But it is eminently useable already. My tailor got it as a gift from a MTM shop whose customer had not collected it, and it did not fit him. So he offered it to me, a very good...

    Is it a Loro Piana thoroughbred?

    I just got a new coat in the door! Yes, it is a NWT purchase through eBay. It was obviously not made yesterday. The seller claimed it was made by Loro Piana and sold through a Dusseldorf menswear shop. I have attched photos of me in the coat, the labels found in the coat, as well as a peak from...

    Norwegian welt construction - origin

    Does anyone know the origin of the practice - and term - «Norwegian welt construction»? I know it is a practice often used in Italy, and that some state it is of Italian origin. But the Italians refer to it as Norwegian, and there are old Norwegian boots with this techique used I believe...

    Just how good?

    I have bought my first sweater from Inis Meain, and am very impressed by cut, make, price and overall pleasure of wearing it. This comes as no surprise to many of you, but for me this is an eye opener: Many more expensive brands do not reach this level of material accomplishment. To do this kind...

    The commercial turn of The Rake

    Reading through the latest issue of The Rake, I was sad to see the complete turn to commersialism. I have previously enjoyed parts of the magazine, in particular portraits and interviews with cloth and shoe manufacturers. I find less of these now. What I find is a lot of editorial content that...

    MTO shoe recommendations?

    Hello, I am new here, both as a member and as a viewer. My two feet as somewhat different, and after many unhappy years with many different shoes, I bought my first MTO order shoes. This is a huge succes. The shoes, from Gaziano & Girling, are not only great looking, they are by far the best...
