    top end off the peg oxfords in a slim cut?

    Could anyone recommend some trad oxfords in a slim cut that I could pick up without paying bespoke prices? Would love to find something of vintage '60s BB, Arrow or Enro quality and weight. Those vintage shirts drape like parachuts on me, and I cannot seem to find a contempo truly slim cut...

    GUABELLO Italian Textiles / Wools

    Thanks, that was the first page I found as well... but there is no contact information anywhere. It seems to be some sort of textile company or distributor that only carries Guabello wools. I guess I could contact them to inquire...

    GUABELLO Italian Textiles / Wools

    Does anyone have a direct contact or website for GUABELLO fabrics? I am trying to ID a merino wool used in a suit that I absolutely need and suspect it came from Guabello. I would like to try to contact someone there to indeed confirm and then see if it would be possible to purchase a suit...

    Car Seat Covers

    Why did I make a poor choice? I don't want to spend a thousand dollars... are seat covers not relatively easy to have fitted and placed over existing fabrics? I certainyl don't intend to do any sort of modifications on the vehicle. My understanding are that these are purchased and sized to...

    Car Seat Covers

    Those foil shield covers look dreadful though and must be a pain to lug around and pull out all the time. 90% of my looking into seat covers is also as mentioned, because the black fabric that I currently have is a magnet for dust, lint and hair. I was looking at Coverking and they seem to...

    Car Seat Covers

    I've had lather seating for the past (almost) ten years, but always in light colors - tan, cream, grey. This is the first car I've owned with a black interior. This past weekend was really sunny and warm, but I could already feel that it will be sweltering in the hot months. I'd like to find...

    Car Seat Covers

    I just took a new lease on a 2011 Imprezza five-door and because of an incredible deal that I couldn't pass up on a floor demo (with 0km!) and because of the disasters overseas and serious shortage of vehicles right now -- I went with a black fabric interior. It's the first car I've driven...

    cotton shirts, laundering and SHRINKAGE!

    Yes, I've always taken my shirts to the dry cleaner and never specified anything other than that I wanted them pressed and hung afterwords.. I've never had this problem before though. I switched over to a new cleaner prior to this mishap.

    cotton shirts, laundering and SHRINKAGE!

    I'm sorry to interrupt, but many would appreciate it if you could edit your posts insted of multi-posting. Thank you. Sure, I'm sorry. I was just hoping to get a response. Back on topic: I'm going to be ordering new shirts this afternoon, and wonder if I should take 15Long instead of 15R to...

    cotton shirts, laundering and SHRINKAGE!

    Just double checked all shirts and for some reason the 2 cotton-poly blends were spared. Or at least, the shrinking was minimal, if at all, and they could probably be stretched back to normal. It's just the 100% cotton shirts that were destroyed.

    cotton shirts, laundering and SHRINKAGE!

    And should I go back to dry cleaning my dress shirts for roughly the same cost and without worry?

    cotton shirts, laundering and SHRINKAGE!

    I just want to determine whether I should return and ask the cleaners to compensate for the shirts that were ruined. I'm really upset about it. I can't imagine that anyone who wears a size 15 would have to purchase a 15.5 or 16 (or any size not true to fit) just to accommodate shrink on cotton...

    cotton shirts, laundering and SHRINKAGE!

    Is it normal for a 100% cotton shirt to shrink 2-3" in the sleeves/cuff at the laundry? The collar was extremely tight as well, I had to wrestle with it to button. As I went out late last night and got suited up at my parent's house, I had no other choice but to wear it out. It was...

    cotton shirts, laundering and SHRINKAGE!

    I've always dry cleaned all of my dress shirts for years, but decided I would have them laundered last week... I got them back yesterday only to find that not a single one fit anymore! I'm not sure if I should blame the cleaners or myself... but hundreds of dollars worth of cotton shirts were...

    All Natural Deoderant Stick?

    Well I'd prefer to avoid alum altogether since I've had this reaction to the stuff that I've been using for twenty plus years. I took the plunge on the Herban Cowboy Dusk stick, since it seems hypoallergenic and all-natural contents. I also shelled out for the pricier Acqua di Parma stick which...

    All Natural Deoderant Stick?

    Okay, I'm anwering my own question (in case anyone cares): http://www.herbancowboy.com/ Dusk Scent. This looks and sounds right. Any experience with this brand? --- Has anyone tried Acqua di Parma Colonia Intensa Deodorant Stick?

    All Natural Deoderant Stick?

    Crystal deodorants contain alum, apparently.

    All Natural Deoderant Stick?

    Thanks, does it actually work though? I'm skeptical of the $3.99 price tag... and the purple colored bottle with the pink breast cancer flag on the cap. Is it a flowery/feminine scent, because it sure looks like it from the product design?
