    Soft leather jackets in the $500 to $1,000 price range?

    I'd have a look at Atacama: https://barrocoitalia.com/en/artisans/atacama/

    Quality of this wallet I purchased?

    It's obviously not handstitched, come on... I don't know much about cordovan made up as small leather goods like that, but I find it odd that the edges are left bare (no edge paint). That turquoise lining hardly inspires confidence either.

    Repairing CP sneakers

    The Margom piece of garbage that acts as an outsole on my sneakers has worn through after a couple of years and the insole is damaged too. Do you think it's worth repairing? The leather upper is still in fairly good condition.

    Cashmere Sweater Hierarchy

    I'm no expert, but I think it's because it has no natural springiness and doesn't recover once it's been stretched, unless you wash it. After one or two wears, the sleeves sag at the cuffs, etc... Wool is a much better fiber for knitwear, and I think cotton too.

    Cashmere Sweater Hierarchy

    While the photos on PS aren't always color-accurate, I wouldn't say they're "graded", let alone to the nth degree. That said, I also find the cream a bit too yellowish and would prefer something with a little gray in it. Maybe this one by the Anthology is a bit better in that regard. Linen...

    Shawl collar cardigan recommendations

    I haven't handled it in person so can't comment, but I'm confident Simon's ones are the best quality there can be. Personally I've never heard or read a bad comment about the SC cardigans. Bear in mind too that O'Connells could have requested a cheaper yarn, a different finishing, etc.

    Shawl collar cardigan recommendations

    Lockie makes for Drake's, Frans Boone, and quite a few others. Scott & Charters makes for Colhays, Winston & Co, HnWhite, Cloth and Cut, etc., as well as O'Connell and Permanent Style as far as I know.

    MEGA PEACOAT THREAD - 61 threads merged - all Peacoat questions HERE

    For what it's worth I've had the exact same problem with the PWVC peacoat: tight in the shoulders and back, too big in the waist. I'm 5'9'', 42'' chest, 30'' waist, and went for a size 4.

    Is it known which Italian factory makes B&B's trousers?

    Cashmere Sweater Hierarchy

    Not to mention most mills around the world, including Scotland and Italy, use Shima Seiki machines... I have a lambswool cardigan from OmniGod. I don't know who made it (are they a manufacturer or just a brand?), but it seems as well-made and durable as my Scottish-made pieces.

    Speaking of Japanese knits, does anybody know who the best Japanese manufacturers are?

    Dalmo is cheaper than that I think.

    Cashmere Sweater Hierarchy

    Still a bit above my head... But you definitely should make me a cardigan! I feel the same way. I replaced the stuffy leather buttons with horn ones, but it does feel a bit weak. I'm thinking about adding a button on the back, which would probably make the whole thing stronger. Could you post...

    Cashmere Sweater Hierarchy

    What exactly do you mean by turning the pocket in-fabric? About the pockets, my concern is that using regular thread (I don't have wool yarn), even plied, could wear down the fabric over time. Do you think there's a risk? It's the "Linen" or "Natural", a shade darker than the Ecru. I wouldn't...

    Cashmere Sweater Hierarchy

    Since this thread has evolved past the whole brand hierarchy thing, I'd like to ask for some help with the William Lockie cardigan I just received. The collar is twisted for some reason and won't sit right despite steaming and (lightly) pressing it flat with an iron. There's also what looks like...

    Shawl collar cardigan recommendations

    Besides NMWA and Colhay's, do you know if any other brand or retailer selling S&C lambswool cardigans?

    Cashmere Sweater Hierarchy

    As far as I know, adding synthetics to the mix is usually done in the case of recycled cashmere (which incidentally is becoming quite popular).

    Cashmere Sweater Hierarchy

    I didn't mean they can't use different makers for different ranges, of course that's possible. But we're talking about the same garment, in the same cut, just made from a different yarn. I just can't imagine they would bother to develop different protoypes, with all the sizing issues that would...
