Weights can be added to hems in general. It's a tried and true technique in women's tailoring. For instance the classic Chanel suit which was once THE outfit for the 'ladies who lunch' often contained a continuous gold chain weight sewn into the hem of the jackets. Chain weights and seam weights all the time in the construction of draperies. However, I've never heard of weights being used in the hems of men's trousers. Although I'm also far from an expert - other's may have some experience in this regard.
Of course many better RTW suits come with a few feet of cloth tape in a color to match the suit. This is intended to line the inside of the trouser hem in order to provide extra protection against wear. It also adds extra 'body' and weight to the hem and can help prevent a trouser leg from collapsing in on itself at the hem, particularly when cuffs are not used.
TMI?
IrateCustomer, where do you draw the line between luxury and super-luxury? For example, Bentley strikes me as being at the top of the luxury range, with Rolls-Royce on the other side of the divide.
Well, it's not really something that rules-y or specific. But yes, I think most bows tied today are (1) too tight in the knot and (2) too wide on the neck.
It really makes no difference, though: a bowtie isn't normal anymore except for black tie. Tie it the way that you like.
Black Sorority umbrella aside... what do you guys think of this fit?
These are awful. They completely ruin an otherwise interesting look.
I think the whole thing is kind of awful. The ensemble looks like "guy from Staten Island pimpin it up in the cit-ay".
The way I see it, is a bentley is a car you drive yourself whereas a rolls is a car you are driven in.

Does anybody else adjust their tie and sleeve over their watch all throughout the day?

When they started making vehicles in the same price range as some top of the line mercedes you started seeing a lot more of them and now they are back to being a dime a dozen.
