Can a sweater be altered?
I've had very good results with these folks. Â They're also in WA, but you can mail work to them, anything from moth holes to extensive alterations. Â They just fixed an awesome 8-ply Scottish cashmere cableknit sweater I got as an absolute steal off eBay. A broken strand had unraveled to a...- acole

Jantzen - for women?
Some time ago Ricky made my wife a darted blouse of the same pink herringbone I had selected for one of my shirts. Â Looks and fits great--although she hates ironing it. Â I would suggest taking several photos (side, front, back) in a blouse that fits well and e-mailing them along with the...- acole

Useful ebay auction
Well, clearly this emotional overreaction says more about you than the thread. Â Why exactly do you harbor such resentment about kissing buttons? Ah. You "hope". Â You obviously live in a fantasy world where everything goes your way. Â Controlling personality, I'd say. Â With a fetish for...- acole

WWChan/Jantzen orders - customs duty?
I'm often amused by the creativity of some merchants in filling out the declaration. The latest example: a Brooks Bros. pima sweater-vest from Toronto; the customs label said "fishing loors".- acole

Chalk-stripe as odd jacket?
Yeah, I let it go. Â That's always been my intention for a bespoke/MTM suit if I were to visit Chan--a SB peak lapel with chalk-stripe. Â Probably dark gray rather than black, which this was. Â Trying to find matching trousers separately would've been pretty unrealistic.- acole

Chalk-stripe as odd jacket?
If it makes a difference, Manton, it wasn't an academic question; I was pondering this jacket: I like the SB peak lapels and the chalk stripe...but of course there are no matching trousers. Â- acole

Chalk-stripe as odd jacket?
My impression has always been that one should not wear pinstripes as odd jackets, because they look like orphaned suitcoats. Â Of course, I've also see a lot of pinstriped offerings by Banana Republic and the like which run counter to that rule. What's the consensus on a bold chalk-stripe on...- acole

Shoes for big feet
I guess that's my main problem with the shoe; I find its excess busy and unsubtle. Â The only design motif I really can't stand in its own right is the "long wing"--the long sweep of broguing parallel to the line of the welt. Â If I'm going to commit to that much broguing, I vastly prefer the...- acole

Ironing Board
Sometimes I iron stuff in the evening. Â And when I get up at 3AM and stumble over the @#%$ thing in the dark on my way to the john, you can bet I have some "strong feelings" about ironing boards. We just have a cheap one from Target...I do think the padding could be a bit better; it's collapsed...- acole

Is black suit an acceptable business attire?
As this thread no longer affords sufficient space or oxygen to do it properly, we're now roasting several of you over here. Â Â Thought it was only fair to point that out. It's been an interesting discussion. The only black suit I have is fused, which doesn't do much for my desire to wear it. Â...- acole

The StyleForum obsessions
I stand corrected, then.  Color me breathless for the next salvo of penetrating transatlantic insight, which I'm sure will make for a scintillating addition to our colloquy. Now, off to find those size 27 Guess jeans and hone my pathologically American self-delusion...- acole

Useful ebay auction
Maybe we need a Universal Hall-of-Flame Drinking Game Thread we can refer people to each time so they'll know when to drink, and how much. Â Might go a little something like this: 1. Is it OK to wear [a black suit/a Gumby tie] to [the office/a funeral/my wedding]? 2. Well, it does go against the...- acole
