    Hertling USA to Remain Open for Business!

    The reported imminent demise of Hertling USA, that venerable American trouser manufacturer, so widely discussed and agonized over on SF and other places was premature.

    Shoulders and sleeve head, for sure. I’ve seen some very nicely fitting jackets totally ruined for me becaus of a small divot or bunching in the shoulders.

    Clothing Stagnation Support Group

    I am receiving delivery of my latest purchase form Kent Wang in two days. A dark brown linen sport coat with horn buttons. A strange sort of feeling set in after I forked over the funds.

    I was recently approached by one of Style Forum's newest posters, @Brovsko , about doing a review of R. Culturi's pocket square offerings. Disclosure: These items were sent to me at no charge. The idea of putting art on a pocket square is nothing new. Plenty of makers offer classic works of...
