    Dried shoe vax

    Got some tins of Burgol vax, equivalent to pate de luxe. Issue is it's super dry, so when I run my finger or a cloth it just breaks apart and clumps up. I bought them all at the same time, oddly enough one of them is still buttery smooth and very soft whereas the other ones are hockey pucks...

    Bubbles on a floating full canvas?

    It certainly is fully canvassed, it’s a half lined jacket so I can easily peek inside. A line of tape you say? Then I really don’t understand why they would call this lapel 3r2,5 when it’s a 3r2, if it’s as easy as tape. Could be that 2 of the 4 layers are fused and the glue has bubbled up...

    Bag for carrying laptop +/- some other bits (frank clegg backpack vs briefcase)

    Severely overpriced for what it is. But yes, around that style. I was thinking something like this: https://maverickandco.co/collections/briefcases/products/vibrant-voyage-briefcase

    Bag for carrying laptop +/- some other bits (frank clegg backpack vs briefcase)

    https://www.carlfriedrik.com/int/products/palissy-briefcase-slim-leather-briefcase?colour=cognac I would however look at the clothes you are wearing. If you're walking around in jeans then Frank Clegg or Carl Friedrik is a no, too formal. A tote is a no-go for me personally, looks too female...

    Bubbles on a floating full canvas?

    But how can that be on a supposed full canvas SuitSupply jacket that I picked up from the store today. It has never been worn other than testing. They tried to re-press the lapel because I wanted an earlier break, could they have somehow fucked it up with steam?

    Bubbles on a floating full canvas?

    To me this looks like bubbles that you could get on a cheap fused jacket. What does it look like to you guys?

    Nitpicking lapel roll on a 3-roll-2?

    This is good advice and I did this with SuitSupply. It is literally called 3r2.5 in their MTM program. I suppose they were just too eager to sell a jacket. Now they get to deal with a return that they cannot resell instead. I want to like it, the price was very good for being full canvas (4...

    Nitpicking lapel roll on a 3-roll-2?

    So whatever they do here, would not work on this jacket? https://www.permanentstyle.com/2023/05/how-to-correct-a-flattened-lapel.html

    Nitpicking lapel roll on a 3-roll-2?

    Alright, thanks for confirming that you cannot reshape a lapel. The jacket I made was in a green hopsack, so I intentionally went to the fitting meeting with another hopsack jacket to compare it as closely as possible, since it isn't fair to compare a stiffer fresco lapel to a super soft...

    Nitpicking lapel roll on a 3-roll-2?

    See the picture I posted above. That is an RTW jacket that I also own. Both have around 11,5cm lapel width, but as you see there's a huge difference with the breast pocket. What I mean with balance is the overall proportion. I have fairly long legs, which looks even longer with high rise pants...

    Nitpicking lapel roll on a 3-roll-2?

    Can't post pictures sadly, the jacket is with SuitSupply since they tried to fix the lapel. I never picked it up after they said they can't do it. But lapel wise it looks pretty much like this, but the breast pocket is even more covered...

    Nitpicking lapel roll on a 3-roll-2?

    Wanted to ask for your opinion and see if I'm just nitpicking. I ordered a jacket from SuitSupply. Very good process, but no options to change the gorge and/or lapels other than width. When I get the jacket the lapels just feel off. The gorge, or rather the seam "creating" the gorge, is too...

    Tips for next purchase pretty please

    Shoes I got covered. I have a fully thought out plan here, to continue building on the oxfords I already own. I can still wear the shoes I purchased in 2015 and later and here my style has not changed. Since then I’ve had to replace my entire wardrobe however due to weight gain as well as...
