    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right thread to ask this but I was wondering if people here know when Prada started using this logo/patch design on their suits? P.S. I know Prada doesn't get much love around here

    Hi Stewie, I would need some more information/pictures on the shoes to make a good assesment.

    Thanks for the comment! regarding care, do you know how many times per year should you wash a wool or down jacket, once, twice or more? Besides, most wool coat fabrics have flannel-like finishes (aka melton wool) and I was wondering if I should use a lint remover like the ones used for suits...

    yes, those are some great remarks! I already have a wool overcoat, which is tailored to fit me with a suit underneath, that I got a couple of years ago but which I only need to wear when I travel to colder places (I guess that covers my formal occasions). I've been thinking on getting 2...

    Luigi Bianchi Mantova vs. Suitsupply

    I have one unstructured blazer from LBM, I think it is a good brand for their price, obviously at that price point they can't offer full canvas or handsewn details.
