    Looking for blazer / sport coat advice - where to buy?

    I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't had the need to buy a new sport coat in a few years. I have a couple of tried and true Isaia jackets that were part of suits at one point and have served me well, but it's time to update. Question for the forum - where should I go (I live in New York)? From...

    The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

    I'm so sad that I missed this run. I tracked one down in London, but it was a size too small. The one that got away.

    Brooks Brothers Tweed

    Just saw a bunch of Harris Tweed coats from Brooks Brothers that look great, but can anyone speak to the quality? I used to have a few BB suits, but that was 10+ years ago and I definitely noticed a decline in the craftsmanship over the years so wanted to check before diving in.

    Newbie Shoe Question

    Xpost from Menswear Advice Hi Everyone, About a year ago, I made a jump from Cole Haans and bought a few pairs of To Boot loafers and oxfords. Overall, I'm happy with the quality (although one the pairs of oxfords looks a little rough) and was looking for recommendations for other brands in...

    Bonobos Suits

    Hi All, Does anyone have any experience with Bonobos suits/blazers? I love their jeans and have one of their raincoats (which I love), but noting tailored. Interested in learning more about the quality and if it's worth it to invest in a jacket. Thanks!

    Hacking Jacket

    Thanks for the replies, everyone. To anyone following this thread, a friend from London just recommended https://www.cordings.co.uk/. Although I'll need to get it tailored in NY, he swears by their quality. Fun fact, years ago they were threatened with bankruptcy until the one and only Eric...

    Hacking Jacket

    Hello All, I've recently begun a search for a Tweed coat to wear this fall/winter. After reading this article it seems all roads are leading to a classic Hacking Jacket. The only hitch is that they appear to only be available via bespoke tailors in the UK. Wondering if anyone has experience...

    Thanks, Troika. Yes to the first two questions. Will definitely try the conditioner. How ling would your recommend leaving them in the trees after conditioning?

    **The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**

    Hi All, Hoping that someone can offer advice. I have a pair of Too Boot loafers that are about a year old and have creases that look they're 100 years old. I use shoe trees, rotate wear, only use cream polish, but somehow they look incredibly worn out. Any suggestions on how to recondition?

    Brooks Brothers Replacement?

    Hi All, I've been a Brooks Brothers shirt buyer forever - the slim was always perfect, the price was right (especially the sales) and they had enough variety. For the past year or so, I've been picking up quality issues, most notable with the "standard" blue non-iron dress shirt. Doesn't...

    Barbour Etiquette Question

    I just received an olive quilted Barbour Liddesdale jacket as a gift and was wondering what the etiquette was on wearing it with jeans and a blazer. In my field, there is almost no call to wear suits anymore. Most prefer to pair dark jeans with a nice sport coat and my old overcoats seem too...
