    A worthy heir to Sierra Trading Post?

    Back in the day, I used to buy some pretty nice suits at a pretty nice discount at Sierra Trading Post. Golly, this is going back well over a decade ago! I got myself nicely stocked up back then (say, 2005--2010), and popped back once in a while to get a bit more ... last time in 2015. Going...

    Good online source for shoelaces (for dress shoe)

    I need a reliable online source for shoelaces for my dress shoes ... the high quality, waxed laces (rather than the cheap-o ones I can find at Walmart and the other similar retailers in my area.) Many thanks in advance ...

    Can I "downsize" a shearling coat?

    I managed to get my hands on a lovely Schott shearling jacket ... shawl collar and raglan sleeves ... at an absolute steal of a price. Unfortunately, the jacket is several sizes too large for me to wear, and looks like an absolute tent on me. Other than that, I absolutely love it, and the...

    How long does a dress shirt last?

    Wear it, wash it, iron it, repeat ... how many times can I repeat that? I know, I know ... "it depends". Ah, the easy answer that doesn't actually say anything. Different manufacturers, different fabrics, different results. But in general ... how many wearings and washings should one expect...

    anyone try The Pit workout?

    What with all the P90X buz, I was thinking of getting that workout to train at home, but then came across "The Pit" workout, coming from a more MMA background. Has anyone tried this workout? Comments & thoughts on it?

    Harris Tweed for (mtm/bespoke suit) trousers?

    I'm thinking of getting a Harris Tweed suit made up for me ... but the concern I have is that the material won't be suitable for pants. Sure, jackets and vests are fine, but I just see it wearing out way too soon in the pants to make this practical ... or am I mistaken.

    Stretching a boot longer, heel-to-toe

    I have a pair of shearling-lined boots (wellington-style) which are somewhat lacking in toe room. I need about another half inch lengthwise for my toes to fit properly. I've seen shoe-stretchers that can handle the lengthening of shoes, but don't seem like they'd work in high boots. I've seen...

    Taking the "itchy" out of a new wool sweater ...

    I bought my wife a nice wool sweater ... super thick for winter, the kind you can hardly find in women's sweaters ... and it's great, except ... ... it's so itchy for her. Any tips for making a wool sweater less itchy (apart from years of wear and washing, of course.)

    How to safely pack ties for travel??

    Does anyone out there have good suggestions for packing a few ties in a way that they are going to arrive at journey's end pristine and ready to be tied? Ideally I'd like to be able to keep a few ties and pocket squares in my pre-packed business trip luggage.

    Returns to STP from Canada ... tips?

    The good has been sifted from the bad, the well-fitting from the ill. I now have a pile of clothes to send back to STP (suits mostly, and a few other items.) Are there any Canadian members here who have first-hand experience with the process, and can offer tips on the best way to make it...

    BB Peal (C&J) wholecuts ... fit ... compared to C&J Weymouth??

    I recently purchased a pair of BB Peal 'wholecuts' ... the tan floating medalion. Searches on the forum before buying led me to believe this shoe to be by C&J, and after the fact I tend to agree. Of note, * one row of nails on the heel, reputed to be a sign of C&J Peals * written on the inside...

    Watches ... matching straps to cases

    When it comes to wearing watches with suits, what is your preferred colour-combo on the watch? How should one match the metal of the watch case with the leather of the strap? My own preference is for black leather straps on silver-coloured watches and brown leather staps on gold-coloured...

    Shoe fit: Tyrwhitt to C&J 337 ???

    I am looking at getting a pair or two of C&J shoes on the 337 last. I traditionally wear a US size 11, and find that the Charles Tyrwhitt UK size 10.5 (on the English-made shoes) fits nicely. Any suggestions on the appropriate size to get in the C&J 337 last?
