    Alterations on Linen Suit

    Hey gents, I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a beige linen suit. The issue I have is that the suit is too sim in the mid-section, thus requires being let out. I know that cotton will show holes where the previous stitches were, but is it the same for linen?

    Tuxedo Studs on Non-formal Shirt

    Hey Gents, I'm getting married next summer and want to know if it is possible to use tuxedo studs on a regular shirt? I'm trying to forgo buying a shirt for the tux when I already have an acceptable crisp white shirt. Is plausible to cut off the buttons and use studs in their place? Or are...

    SuitSupply Sizing Help

    Hey Gents, I've been looking into getting a couple of the Lazio fit suits but am in need of help with their sizing. For reference, I'm 5'7 145lbs. with a slim build and own some Club Monaco Grant and Brooks Brothers Milano suits (which fit me nicely), all 36S. Can anyone comment on the...

    Matching Wheel and Tire Sizes

    I'm in the market for some new winter tires (as I'm moving to a hell hole of a city). I found out from the manufacturer's website that my tires are sized 215/45R17, but there's no information on what size the wheels are. I've read on a few forums that it's okay to use smaller/larger wheels, but...

    Negotiating at the Dealership

     Making fun of how much money people make is quite mean. If you must know what I do for a living or want to compare dick sizes (I think the latter is more likely), I graduated from university not too long ago. I've passed Level 2 of the CFA exams and am working towards the CFP designation. I...

    Negotiating at the Dealership

     Thanks for the help. Ended up going with the 2014 because they gave it to me for nearly the same price. We negotiated for about two hours and finally the sales manager came over and made me a deal. I accepted it but told him I wanted to put $5000 down on Visa; gotta get the points...

    Negotiating at the Dealership

    Some other things I've thought of: can I negotiate the interest rate; I think they are currently offering 4.99%. How much of a down payment should I be paying? $5000 reasonable?

    Negotiating at the Dealership

    I made a thread about this maybe two years ago, but the last one was very general and I have a specific car in mind right now. I've also never negotiated for a new car before so I would like some tips on how to do it and what a good first offer is. I'm looking at a brand new 2013 Civic Touring...

    My Experience with Blank Label

     You're lucky. Got the remake of the third one in a few days ago (they remade it for free). The fit is better although the arms are still quite tight and measurements not what I wanted. Also, the quality of the fabric is quite poor and leaves a rash on my neck after a full day of wearing.

    Samtani and Son Tailors

    Wondering if anyone SFers have had experience with Samtani and Son in Langley as there is a Groupon deal on right now? $599 for custom suit, shirt and tie plus an extra $50 with a promo code. They were mentioned in a previous thread but couldn't get an idea of the quality.

    My Experience with Blank Label

    It is a bit thin, but nothing that would deter me from ordering it again.

    My Experience with Blank Label

     That's a pretty good deal. Should get a pretty good fit if they take your measurements in person

    My Experience with Blank Label

    Did they take your measurements in person? If not, I wouldn't have ordered three right off the bat.

    My Experience with Blank Label

    Hi Gents, Figured I would share my experience with Blank Label. If you're unaware, they do custom shirting for a relatively good price. Basically you send them your measurements (or one of your best fitting shirts) and they make the shirt to your specifications. Their website (blanklabel.com)...
