    Roommate Horror Stories

    I'm not sure it qualifies as a horror story, but my freshman year roommate in college was a disaster. He was a pot smoker, and not merely an occasional one. He smoked everyday--a lot. I, on the other hand, was squeaky clean (f*ck, I've still never tried marijuana). In addition, he had very...

    Tailor shortened jacket- what to do?

    So an update- I called the tailor. As you suspected, I was not charged for the length being shortened. She said that taking in the sides as she did might have shortened the length. However, I called ralph lauren, and found out that the vents are now exactly 1" shorter as well. In addition...

    Tailor shortened jacket- what to do?

    That's what I get paid to do. Really only the last sentence in my post is necessary. The rest is fluff. Thanks so much for your very helpful replies. I'll find out what happened and post an update.

    Tailor shortened jacket- what to do?

    I'd be inclined to agree with this, but a full inch is a fair bit of difference. Were you charged for a shortened jacket? I'm not sure yet if I was charged for being shortened. I actually did try it on, but I didn't notice the length because I wasn't expecting it to be different. I assumed that...

    Tailor shortened jacket- what to do?

    I just brought a new navy blazer home from the tailor, and noticed that it is an entire inch shorter than it was before I brought it there- I had the sides taken in, the sleeves shortened, and a neck-roll removed. I inspected the lining, and found this stitching used to attach it to the wool...

    Suggestions for good weekend bag

    I know you said you're not crazy about garment bags, but check this one out: http://www.sierratradingpost.com/p/,...rment-Bag.html There's a current 20% off coupon as well. I bought one for the same purposes as you, and I found it to be far from bulky, yet able to accommodate a variety of...

    Suits similar to RLBL

    Jil is made by Caruso as well, right? In terms of a lack of belt being unprofessional, I personally wouldn't worry about it. If it's an interview, your jacket isn't coming off, so no one will really notice anyway. Depending on how much you had to shorten the pants, you could also get creative...

    Chelseas v. Chukkas?

    Yes, this is the problem. I prefer them, but I find that others find them, uh, "questionable" in their appearance. That's what I don't quite understand- do any of your friends/girlfriends ever make similar remarks about the chelsea aesthetic? Not that it would prevent me from wearing...

    "Coat" for Saks brand tailored clothing?

    The lapel rolls so nicely, I'm sure it must be canvassed- are you sure the entire jacket is fused, or just the bottom part of it? In general, the fusing doesn't bother me, it seems done quite nicely- much like the stuff Corneliani does for RL.

    "Coat" for Saks brand tailored clothing?

    The suit was marked at $559, and with a discount coupon would come down to around $400 I believe. For a conservative staple, I think that's a good value.

    "Coat" for Saks brand tailored clothing?

    I was at Off Fifth today, and happened upon a suit by a brand called "Coat," with a Saks Fifth Avenue Label sewn in. It was made in Italy and I've attached pictures of the label below. The suit appeared very nice- dual vents, pick stiching, flat front pants, curtained waistband. It appeared to...

    Corduroy Sportcoat/Jacket--How to Wear?

    It's a great combination with textures- pair it with flannels, an OCBD, suede shoes, and a knit tie.

    highlights of the new Bergdorf catalogue?

    Cantarelli looks awesome, very impressive- it's in the same price range as Canali. I wonder how the quality/fit compares.

    Barney's House Label Suits?

    I was wondering if anyone has had experience with Barney's house label suits. From what I understand, they are made by Caruso, retail for around $1395, and are fully canvassed with a trim cut. Are they a 7 inch drop as well? This puts them in the same price range as Canali, which tends to fit me...

    Joseph JAB v. BB Fitzgerald/Regent

    Thanks for the helpful post. I am not necessarily slim as much as have a 10" drop, so I actually need more room in the shoulders with next to no padding, a higher arm hole, and a more suppressed waist. I tried on a Fitzgerald and the shoulders fit pretty well, but in a Regent of the same...
