Also, does anyone know the width of their ties?


The length of the tie is 156cm. Minimum width is 4.5cm, maximum width is 9cm.

Thanks, will do that!

And IMO the necklace thing doesn't matter, I'm not a big fan of them so I don't get picky about how other people wear them.


I heard about the Jacob Cohen brand in a Swedish fashion magazine for men called King and they seemed to really like it so I dunno, feels like its probably a good brand to go. I also like Diesel have not heard about Iron Heart jeans though! :p

maybe not, I usually dont wear but it happens everynow and then. :p

n00b question -

I am confused about sleeve lengths. A wear 15.5/32. So my sleeve lengths are 32. A lot of shirts for sale on this forum are 15.5/39. Are these measured from the middle of the back? Also a shirt may be listed as having sleeves that are 25" from shoulder to cuff. So... three different measurements for sleeves? What's the deal? If 25" is shoulder to cuff, what is the 32 in 15.5/32? And what about the 39?

Thanks,
J

Different shirt maker use different measurement.

- In 15.5/32 means 15.5 in neck, 32 in from mid low neck to cuff
- shoulder to cuff measurement often used in jacket only, not in shirt
- The 39 in 15.5/39 is European size. Hint: 39 cm ~ 15.5 inches

I'm in London (England) and looking for a place to get a nice winter coat re-lined. The coat is a perfect fit and style for me, but the lining is absolutely thrashed. The couple of places I've found seem to charge about £95; does anyone have a suggestion of a place that might be cheaper, or if not cheaper, at least will do a really great job? Thanks.

out of all my ties, I get more compliments on a microfiber tie picked up at a Satya Paul store in Bombay.

I love the tie, and it reflects light beatifully, why are microfiber ties disparaged on this site?

I'm 6'2, Chest: 37, Shoulder: 19. I went to try jackets at Macy and wore a 38R and the shoulders fit spot on; the length was perfect. However, the sales associate suggested that I get a 38L because she said the sleeves were too short. But I wasn't entirely convinced that it was. I wear a 15.5 34/35 shirt for reference.

I then went to Men's Warehouse to try a 38L, but that seemed too long and drapey and the sleeve was about 3/4 of an inch past my palm and the length of the jacket almost reached my fingertips.

I'm planning on getting a suit, however I have no idea what a proper fitting should be. How do you determine where the sleeve length should be? I plan on doing MTM in the future however for right now i'm just going OTR.

New member, I have really enjoyed browsing around the forum. I am 43 years old, 6'-2, 210 lbs, 16-1/2x36 shirt, 43L jacket, 36 waist with about 32 or 33 inseam depending on rise and 12A shoe. I am looking to upgrade my wardrobe and have some questions: 1) Incotex/Mabitex pants have a strong following but I am concerned they may be too snug for me. Can I get opinions on this and perhaps suggestions of alternate brands to look at? 2) I have seen mention of getting new Allen Edmonds shoes for around $100, where online can I find these that may have 12A? Thanks!
