I feel like one should be wearing that, sitting in a leather chair in front of a fireplace, sipping scotch.

I was sad to discover that your cheap Trafalgar belts, though still many, are best represented in your own fit pics of the last few months.  All the peaches definitely picked!  Any more coming?


No more coming, but theres still plenty of nice ones about (I think)!

All these Carroll & Co Chester Barrie suits are killing me. The jackets are so close, but the trousers are gigantic.

I tried on a suit a couple of weeks ago with a jacket which fit perfectly, but I couldn't even get the pants zipped up. How does that work?

I'm very rapidly starting to think that getting pents to fit well is far more difficult than getting jackets to fit well.

Fully agree, I'd say my tailor does far more work adjusting pants over anything else I buy.

yes. also, i think its easier to make significant adjustments on jackets than on pants. much easier to nip the waist of a SC or take in the back seam than taper the legs and mess with the rise.

I have a few clients who buy the suit, wear the jacket as a SC and either re-sell or donate the pants... in the case of a POW Caroll & Co, that may work...
