Tailor shortened jacket- what to do?
I just brought a new navy blazer home from the tailor, and noticed that it is an entire inch shorter than it was before I brought it there- I had the sides taken in, the sleeves shortened, and a neck-roll removed. I inspected the lining, and found this stitching used to attach it to the wool...- morse

"Coat" for Saks brand tailored clothing?
I was at Off Fifth today, and happened upon a suit by a brand called "Coat," with a Saks Fifth Avenue Label sewn in. It was made in Italy and I've attached pictures of the label below. The suit appeared very nice- dual vents, pick stiching, flat front pants, curtained waistband. It appeared to...- morse

Barney's House Label Suits?
I was wondering if anyone has had experience with Barney's house label suits. From what I understand, they are made by Caruso, retail for around $1395, and are fully canvassed with a trim cut. Are they a 7 inch drop as well? This puts them in the same price range as Canali, which tends to fit me...- morse

Joseph JAB v. BB Fitzgerald/Regent
I was wondering if anyone can comment on the difference between JAB's Joseph suit, which retails at $900, and BB Fitzgerald/Regent suits, which retail around $1000. They are both the slimmer fitting models, featuring higher arm holes, narrower lapels, and half canvas construction; the Joseph has...- morse

Coppley MTM
Hello all, I was at JS Edward's in Baltimore today, and noticed they have a 20% off sale on Coppley MTM. Upon searching the forum, I could not find a consensus regarding the brand. Some say full canvas, other say half or fused, depending on the model. Some have had good experiences, others...- morse

Ticket Pocket + Center Vent?
J. Press currently carrying a darted, 2 button navy blazer with ticket pocket. For $525, and fully canvassed (I was told, didn't have time to do a full pinch test, but it sure draped like a canvassed coat) this represents a fantastic value (especially when compared to Brooks' offerings). I went...- morse

Possible to Darken Suede Shoes?
Hi all- I ran a search of the forums but came up with nothing. I was wondering, is it possible to darken suede purposely, just as one may antique or darken calf skin shoes? I purchased a pair of light tan chukkas, and realized I would rather have them in a shade more like tobaccoo or snuff...- morse

J. Press- Ticket Pockets?
I was walking by J. Press today and noticed in the window that several of their fall sport coats had ticket pockets- this is not something I've seen from them before in such large quantities. Specifically, I saw a navy blazer with a ticket pocket. I'm actually in the market for a new navy...- morse

Formality of Apron Blucher
Quick question- I just purchased the AS "Kenwilworth" apron blucher from Brooks Brothers (under Peale) in brown. Obviously, these shoes are the perfect complement to a coat and tie, but what about use with a suit? I know that bluchers technically should not be worn with a suit, but given the...- morse

Peal Shoes Fit Question
Hello all, I have a quick question- I am looking to purchase the pair of Peal bluchers currently on sale on the Brooks Brother's website. I've never tried Peals on before, but I wear a 9D in both the Allen-Edmonds Park Avenue and Byron models (the Byron is on the #4 last, I believe, but I may...- morse

Seeking Pocket Square Advice (with pics)
Hello all. I was at SOF today and could not resist picking up a Roda linen square for $16. I initially bought it because I thought it would look great in a TV fold, and it does. However, the border pattern and color really throw me off...is it possible to wear this in a different fold? If so...- morse

FIH Shirts?
I've been looking for a while to replace some dress shirts. While I normally wear RL custom fit ,I found out from a few sales people that RL has cut down on its production of these shirts, hence the dearth I have noticed at many retailers.

ES Jakimo Sizing
Hello everyone. I have a quick question- I picked up a pair of ES Jakimos today on the cheap at the Barney's outlet. My waist size in 7's, Diesels, and Lucky's has been 30, sometimes 31. I tried on the Jakimos in 30, and could barely button them up- the 31's were also skin tight. I tried on the...- morse

Tailors in the Greater New Haven Area?

Suit Sizing and Drops
I just went to SOF and tried on various suits, and discovered that the tailors at Nordstrom have been fitting me incorrectly. They insisted that I'm a 38R, more American-cut (Abboud, yuck) jacket size. I tried on a few 38's at Saks, and then a 40R in Zegna and Dunhill made in Italy (these are...- morse

Putting heel liners in testoni shoes
So, I was very lucky to have picked up an absolutely stunning pair of testoni blue/tan suede loafers at off 5th today for $87, marked down from $575. They are rubber soled, and thus excellent for a casual walking shoe. They were a half size below what I normally wear, 8.5, but I wasn't wearing...- morse

Resolved: The Black Suit
I have read in various fora that it is untraditional and incorrect to wear a black suit during the day, in any situation (besides a funeral)- or even that the black suit itself is an inappropriate item of clothing in general. I have a beautiful black suit, and I'm tired of waiting to save it for...- morse
