it's not, because this only 1 button. what i'm talking about involved removing the sleeve, extending the sleeve slit, and recutting a new buttonhole. similar.

Fall in SoCal. Need a haircut

Love that blazer. If anyone's selling a 46/48 let me know please.

So if it for some reason wouldn't work for you after you've gotten your hands on one snow, let me know 

What SNS sweater is this and where can it be kopped?

It's a Stark - available at almost every SF approved shop.

 

Haha thanks.

 

Almost all my tees could stand to be a little longer.  I'm exactly 6', which isn't super tall, so I don't understand why it's such a problem.  Sizing up on this tee would have probably made it too large in all other dimensions, so I went with a Medium.

It's not a Stark, it's a Fisherman Round Neck.

Stanley was wearing a Stark on the previous page. cyc had replied to renenavate with what Stanley was wearing, but rennavate was quoting a post of Stanley quoting xhale who was wearing a fisherman

LOL. Can we get that chick knitting a Schneider scarf instead, pretty please

ok, while i do like this fit, even though i dont really quite "get" a lot of it, i only ask one thing explained.

the cuffs. i know it has been mentioned, but even the suggested amounts to be shortened would leave it quite long, at least from an MC perspective. i have not been in this thread very long, but i dont recall seeing any other SC sleeves that long.

so, i guess my question is, what is the SWD belief/groupthink/accepted practice/range about cuff length on SCs?

thanks.

one note about shortening a sleeve from the shoulder. when a jacket is made, the extra length that is put in by the manufacturer to account for different arm lengths, is added at the end. even if the tailor can get the armhole right, it can really throw off the pitch of the sleeve in regards to the elbow.

so even if the length is right after the alteration, and it looks good, it can be very uncomfortable to wear if the curvature of the jacket sleeve is no longer matches up with the curve of your arm/elbow.

I don't think sleeve pitch is particularly much of a concern with a textured cotton blazer.

 

i think you are wrong. no jacket sleeve, afaik, is 100% straight. if the "elbow" of the jacket ends up sitting by your bicep, you will not be comfortable.
