What caused my bespoke suit to fit differently?
Hi guys, I haven't posted a thread here in quite a while, but this topic warranted it. Here's the backstory: I had my very first bespoke suit made back in 2019 here in Japan where I live.

What is the invisible stitching method called on these shoes?
Hi guys, A little while ago, I bought a new pair of shoes which you can see in the photos below. The thing I noticed about these shoes is they didn't seem to have any visible stitching around the welt/out sole except for a very thin line. I'm familiar with closed channel stitching which...- lullemans72

I just got myself a brand new lamb skin riders jacket I'd set my eyes on for a while.

Is this green tie color too bright for regular office wear?
I've been looking at green ties recently to complete my tie collection as I don't own any ties in that color yet. Most of the ties I've found in stores have a more muted green tone. While I've been told that muted and darker colors are generally more formal and appropriate in a business...- lullemans72

How to treat scuff marks after layer of cream polish & wax on leather?
Hi folks. I already tried looking through the forums, but couldn't find an answer to my question, so I made a separate thread.

About formality and acceptability of side adjusters
I recently managed to find a bespoke tailor here in Japan that is able to provide full bespoke tailoring for only 500-600 USD, more than half of what other tailors charge for a full bespoke suit. I'm currently considering the design of the suit, and would like to experiment with side adjusters...- lullemans72
