Brace/Suspender and crotch discomfort
I've started wearing Y (button) and holster (clip) braces casually for the last 6 weeks or so. My only other experience with them was a few years ago with bespoke pants, very infrequently. I've noticed enough discomfort in my crotch area to be distracting. Gets worse any time I bend or sit, and...- CrimmyS

Seersucker suit care
Hello, I have a seersucker suit that I've only worn 2-3 times since it was made last July. I don't remember eating anything while wearing it. I wore it yesterday to do some photos with my girlfriend and noticed a yellow blob on the pants where my thigh is, and some tiny yellow dots (almost...- CrimmyS

I have a few questions as I've never owned nor really seen one in person due to where I live. I was thinking about getting a full or 3/4 length overcoat tailored from Eleganza Uomo (Raymond Kiang).

Odd waistcoat under suit jacket/sport coat
When it comes to wearing an odd vest with a suit or even a sport coat, is there a certain protocol regarding it's visibility due to a jacket having open quarters?

Ruined Chinos? Chinese lajiao stains and detergent stain
Lajiao managed to get on my khaki chinos the other day. It's a chinese condiment that's basically dried red peppers heated up in oil resulting in a thick to slightly runny paste. Sometimes it has balsamic/brown vinegar in it as well. Label is dry clean only but the maker said I could hand wash...- CrimmyS

How is my tailored suit/sport coat?
Hello First I'd like to say sorry, I don't have any dress shoes yet. They're on their way. I had a suit bespoke in Shanghai. I guess before I make it any kind of review or say where it was done, I'd like to give them the chance to make any alterations and such. I think a 3 piece suit was 4250...- CrimmyS

Ascot Chang shirt; clean first or ask for replacement?
Hello, I bought my first dress shirts a couple weeks ago. One was from Ascot Chang and it arrived today. Expensive but saw some love here so decided to give it a try. I'm pleased with the fit and I think it looks great on me. Then I noticed writing under the collar and dark spots behind the...- CrimmyS

Short tail or too much fabric? Shirt stay alternative?
Hi, Is this because my shirt has a lower tail and pulls itself out? Or is it because there's just too much fabric. Would further darting fix it? Specifically the back portion which works its way over the belt after moving around. Could I put a button on the inside of my shirt and pants then...- CrimmyS

Evolution of tucking and untucking
Hello! I hope this doesn't derail because most of the tucking vs untucking threads seem to be "should I or not" rather than what I'd like to ask. I can never keep what I write short so if you just want to read my question you can read the bold part and skip the rest. I think I understand the...- CrimmyS

Mainland China tailoring experiences (excluding Shanghai/Beijing)
Hi, I live in Xi'an and am looking to get at least a blazer, some pants, and shirts tailored. Now it seems most people have experience with either Shanghai or Beijing. If anyone has any experience in Xi'an that'd be most helpful but any advice is great. Should I stay away from tailors at...- CrimmyS

Starting from scratch; advice and help appreciated!
I'm rewriting this post. This is my current plan and I will add questions in a new comment. A big issue is the back of a shirt and blazer. Everything I try on is either tight and restrictive on my back, or comfortable but baggy in all other areas. What's a realistic expectation level of...- CrimmyS
