    Trying to decide on a Coach briefcase

    Hi everyone, My Tumi briefcase is on its last leg so I am on the market for a new one. I came across a few Coach briefcases that I like and I have a few questions: I like the Coach Metropolitan, but it comes in several styles. The Metropolitan Soft Briefcase can be had for a really nice price...

    Boy do I need advice on slacks...

    Hi everyone, I am really hoping that you can lend me your wisdom. Here's the deal: I just switched careers, leaving academia for a professional government post where I will be working in an office each day. This means no more dressy jeans and chinos for me... As I work my way through the...

    Can't tell if these jeans are right for stacking

    Thanks for the reply. So do you think the dark jeans would work with oxfords as well, or does the length require boots? And as for the Mezlans, man, I love these boots. I get complements every day I wear them and they are extremely comfortable

    Can't tell if these jeans are right for stacking

    Hi all, My standard operating procedure has been for the dressy slim jeans to have an inseam of 30" and my less dressy, throw on a sweatshirt with them to be boot cut jeans with an inseam of 32". I've become frustrated because my 30" inseam jeans seem to shrink just enough to make me look like...

    'New' overcoat - able to be tailored or lost cause?

    That's a funny coincidence, my coat has a Barney's NY liner. M

    'New' overcoat - able to be tailored or lost cause?

    @Despos Sorry, last question: I check the circumference of the sleeves. The base of the sleeve is 7 3/4"/15.5" whereas the sleeve just below the armpit measures in at 10"/20". Should I tell my tailor to simply taper the sleeve by 1.25"/2/5" all the way up? Or should I tell him to make it...

    'New' overcoat - able to be tailored or lost cause?

    @Despos Thank you so much for your detailed reply! And thank you, I, too, think the coat is gorgeous. I've summarized your post below. I think this covers everything. I noticed that you seem to think that the width of the coat is fine. Can you please look at the new photos I posted to see if...

    'New' overcoat - able to be tailored or lost cause?

    @dieworkwear Thanks for the additional feedback and photo. I just realized that you are the author of the blog where that photo is from! I am posting a bunch of photos that better show the width of the coat, both with and without the belt. I look forward to your thoughts!

    'New' overcoat - able to be tailored or lost cause?

    Thank you for your responses, everyone! @dieworkwear @jdp234 @comrade @Alan Bee @pleatedjeans ! I think that going forward, I am going to do the following based on your suggestions: 1) shorten the sleeves to the base of my thumb, or just above. This is how I like my overcoats, as it...

    'New' overcoat - able to be tailored or lost cause?

    Hi all, Here's the deal: I purchased for $40 a stylishly unique, quality sew n Burberry overcoat that has a heavier amount of wool than I've ever found in a coat. The problem is that it is far too large for me. If this coat were not as nice as it is, I wouldn't hesitate reselling it, but...

    Best inexpensive jeans?

    As one of those academics you speak of, I must say that this comment is a dreadful generalization that is deeply flawed. Indeed, there is consistent debate around this topic and it includes scholars who have fairly mainstream views when it comes to broader normative views regarding political and...

    Post 1,000,000 on authenticating Burberry

    Hi all, As the subject alludes to, I know that we are bombarded with requests to authenticate Burberry items. The thing is, I just picked up a Burberry overcoat from a great consignment shop near me and it differs substantially from my other Burberry coats. For example, it has a plain black...

    How do these sleeves look?

    Thanks for your input, I will do that. Also, this actually is an extra slim fit shirt. It and the super slim shirts both share the same tunnel-width cuffs for some unexplainable reason!

    How do these sleeves look?

    I appreciate the feedback. I actually live in NYC but am on a fairly tight budget as a doctoral candidate. It is for that reason that I haven’t gone the bespoke route. For the time being, shirt makers like CT have proven to be affordable without a serious sacrifice in quality. Of course, I am...

    How do these sleeves look?

    Hi everyone, I had one of those moments yesterday where suddenly I started thinking that I've been wearing the wrong size shirts. I've been professionally measured over the years and I always come out as a 17-35 (unless I put on a little weight and then I'm a 17.5-35). I also have an athletic...

    Were older topcoats made with this sort of design/color?

    Hi everyone, I'm looking to update my outerwear. I just picked up a very nice, full-length Burberry's topcoat on eBay for dirt cheap (See my recent post on it here...

    The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Part II (May 2015 - Sept. 2018)

    Need to brag about this: I've been looking to update my outerwear, visiting local thrift shops around NYC, and also combing through eBay each night. I came across a vintage Burberry Prorsum coat from Barney's - Scottish tweed, belted, great condition, listed for $19.99 with a much higher 'buy it...
