    Tailoring shirt side seams NYC

    Hey, Searched threads and found some good threads in dress shirt tailoring. I see that some places like Cardelinos do it, but with a cheaper single stitch. Any RECENT recommendations for a place that can open the sides of shirts and taper them, then restitch them like originally? I'd like to...

    Removing pleats in NYC (Yes, I searched!)

    Has anyone had pleats removed in NYC? Yes, I searched and know it is an involved process, it's expensive, etc. But if anyone's had a good experience, I'd like to speak with the tailor. Thanks.

    Looking for a decent priced MTM (I think) in NYC fast?

    Just got this on groupon. Worth taking a look at. Went on their FAQ page and it seems like it's made to measure in HK. $500 not too bad for the fabric and getting a good fit, esp for those hard to fit fellows...

    Looking for suit brands with NO padding

    I found that a blue label Polo 2 cut fits PERFECT for me with just a little waist suppression. I asked on here if I could get my Polo 2 suit copied exactly by a MTM or bespoke guy when I go to Asia and was told that the super soft shoulder (basically non-existent shoulder padding) is very...

    Kirkland Signature dress pants

    For all you Costco members out there, Costco just got their wool dress pants in stock. The great news: They are now more modern, but still very well made in Italy. They are slimmer and flat front. I saw black, navy, brown, light grey, and dark grey. They are fantastic and a great price at...

    Giorgio Armani black label NYC spotting

    Hey guys, I know Armani isn't so highly coveted here, but I still thought some of you would be interested... I was at Century 21 near WTC on Friday and I saw a nice charcoal with thin, faint pinstripes. It was a 38R (fit true to size because the thing was too tight and I wear 40R). It was a...

    TUXEDO'S: Shawl collars, velvet, and putting it all together

    Just a couple questions: 1. Is only a cummerbund acceptable with shawl collar jacket? Or is a waistcoat good too? 2. What kind of shirt goes with a shawl collar? 3. If one were to wear a velvet, peaked lapel smoking jacket, would that be perfectly proper for a black tie ball? Or is it too...

    I have some very soft leather loafers which I love. Unfortunately after only a couple wears the Leather on the toe has been terribly scuffed.
