Can a tailor make any alteration that would slightly lower the arm holes, or am I just out of luck?

Anyone?

Are RLPL tuxedos available off the rack or made to measure only?

Just curious if anyone happens to know the brand name of jeans Bret Hart wore on Monday Night Raw last night (2/15/10).

My boyfriend made the comment that they were cool and his birthday is coming up so I thought it would be a nice suprise gift if I got him some like that. I can't seem to find them online anywhere

I recently purchased a pair of Vintage Nettleton Longwings on Ebay. They fit great, and are in pretty good shape, overall, accounting for their age.

I am new to leather soled shoes, and on this particular shoe, there is a triangular metal cleat (?) on the rear of the heel that clicks a bit when I walk. Is this normal? Is this needed? If they were to be re-soled/re-heeled, can this be taken out? It's a bit annoying to walk around in, and just a wee bit slippery on smooth surfaces!

Thanks!

That's a heel tap. It's for protection. You can remove it anytime you want. You can replace metal ones by plastic ones. People here love toe taps/heel taps.

If the heel tap wasn't there, then the heel would wear down faster and eventually need to be replaced. It's "normal", but up to your preferences if you want it or not.

Thanks!

Makes sense. Maybe I will need to rethink the annoyance, and look at it's benefits!

Got it. Thanks,

Looking at this pair of AEs.

I often wear french cuff shirts to work. Recently I noticed that I have dirty rings around the cuff. My dry cleaner was unable to get it out. I am an attorney so I am often working with freshly-printed documents. I have a pretty decent laser printer and I would like to think that the ink stays on, as it doesn't come off when I go over it with a hi-lighter, but could this be the cause? If so does anyone know how to get the stain out and/or prevent this problem?

What does "OCBD" mean? Wasn't in the glossary.

A reasonable priced db suit?

I suggest finding and posting a picture of the jeans in question along with your question in the "Ask a question" thread in the Streetwear & Denim forum. The "Men's Clothing" forum is all about tailored clothing.
