Anyone ever try Land's End blazers/suiting?
Keep in mind that almost all of their blazers have functional sleeve buttons, so they won't be cheap to tailor unless your arms are the right length to start.- rudedog

Which fits me better?
The first two pics show a jacket which is way too tight around the waist. The two pics on the right show a fairly nice fit. The question is: You tried it on and had to feel that the first jacket is too tight, it's quite extreme. So why did you ask? I ordered them from Gilt, so couldn't try...- rudedog

Which fits me better?
Two identical jackets, one 38s and the other 40s. Which do you think fits better, and what alterations are needed? http://gallery.me.com/rudedog#100046- rudedog

Does anyone know if I can wash a 100% cotton blazer in a washing machine without destroying it? A little shrinkage would be fine, I'm just worried about destroying it as the tag says dry clean only. The jacket is a brooks brothers 100% cotton twill blazer, the material is fairly thick / heavy...- rudedog

In a typical OTR drop-6 suit, how much material is typically available to let out the trousers? I am usually a 40, but have a 35-36" waist. When I see some good deals on places like gilt or yoox, I'm worried that if I buy a 40 there won't be enough material to let out the waist, which is...- rudedog

Help me prep for the tailor visit
The shoulders fit fine. The main "issue" is the sleeve pitch: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=93715 Other than that, I can't tell if it has front darts or not but it appears from the front at least that you could do with a little bit more taking in the fabric on the front side of...- rudedog

Help me prep for the tailor visit
I've acquired a used suit which seems to fit me well, but needs some tailoring. You can see the fit here: http://gallery.me.com/rudedog#100024 I know that the trousers and sleeves both need shortening. I'm not keen on the way the back of the sleeves bunch up around the shoulders; is this...- rudedog

Attending wedding in Key West on March 12 @ 5:00 pm. Invitation states "cocktail attire". A dark suit doesn't seem appropriate, and tan poplin feels too casual. I think is too early for linen/seersucker, or does that rule not apply when that far south? Right now I am thinking light grey worsted...- rudedog

Please Critique New Blazer Fit: Slim Fit
Thanks.... So apart from the length problem with this specific blazer, 36R seems a right fit for my chest? Also, what would be an ideal length for a coat for someone who is 5'10"? A jacket should completely cover your rear end. There are two rules of thumb for how long it should be other than...- rudedog

Please Critique New Blazer Fit: Slim Fit
I know you guys think it is too short, but here are some pictures of the same blazer from the original designer, and by that rule, it is short for all models wearing it. What do you think? Any other issues other than length? It is too short on that model as well. Short jackets with narrow...- rudedog

Suit/Dress Pants Questions
Thanks. But the dress pants question is what i wanted to ask. You can't wear a dress pants as the pants for an interview right? Dress pants are what you wear after you got the job right? As the suit is what is required for an interview but usually you don't have to wear a sut after you get the...- rudedog

Silk pocket square with a grenadine tie? I wouldn't wear a silk PS with any other silk tie, but I'm thinking the texture of the grenadine is sufficiently different that a silk PS would work. Am I wrong?- rudedog
