    Boot Recommendations for Cold Climate

    If I am not mistaken, Meermin has reasonably priced shearling lined boots.

    Cardigans, do they have a place as a wardrobe staple in modern menswear?

    For me, a chunky cardigan is ideal for going to work on those cool spring or fall days, when the outside temperature is similar to that indoors. In my casualized work environment, a sport coat or suit would be too dressy, and a casual jacket not something that I would wear indoors, so cardigans...

    RTW suits with shorter than average sleeves

    Thanks for the tip. But from what I saw, Sartorio jackets come without the buttons. If I could find a tailor who is competent enough to cut surgeon's cuffs, then I would also have one competent to sew fake buttonholes and wouldn't have to go through all the trouble. That happened to me once as...

    RTW suits with shorter than average sleeves

    As I said, shorter jackets are not going to work for me. But I can't believe I should take the MTM route just for wanting normal looking sleeves. As for the sewing machines, that seems plausible, but I actually did phone about a dozen different shops and they gave me the exact same answer. I...

    RTW suits with shorter than average sleeves

    Good people of Styleforum, can you recommend RTW brands for suits that, as the title says, have slightly shorter sleeves than usual on average? My arms being relatively short, I have to shorten the sleeves on every jacket that I get to an ideal length of about 59cm. The problem is that since a...

    The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

    You're right, they look practically the same. The prices are also too good to be true. Thanks, you saved my wallet. Also, I found the same overshirt on Doherty Evans & Stott for almost twice as much money -- which is still good -- but sadly, my size is sold out.

    The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

    Hi all, Has anybody ever run into this website? https://www.haasparihaas.com I was looking for Drake's overshirts and happened upon this online store apparently selling Drake's stuff for cheap. And when I say cheap, the overshirt I found was down to $85 from a starting price of only $125...

    6. Wayfarers, by Knut Hamsun (man, I should really find some time for reading) Sometime in the second half of the 19th century, Norway's rural society has undergone its Great Transformation, with the subsistence economy being gradually replaced by market economy. The young and the restless...

    Polos with decent price-quality ratio without logo and available in France or Germany

    I can say from personal experience that MD polos are decent enough for the price, can usually be had for cca $25 when on sale. Interesting colors as well. Mine are not cotton piqué, however, but a cotton-linen mix which I prefer during summer in any case. Have you checked out Kent Wang? I...

    Massimo Dutti

    MD comprises much of my wardrobe simply because the options here in Serbia are limited, and buying online is usually too expensive with duties and taxes. Of course, it's not high end stuff and some of it is badly made, and I found that this article on Permanent Style mostly fits my experience...

    Friday Challenge: Shirt Jackets/Shackets | May 16th Closing

    Great looking shacket, but I also like what seems to be a kilim rug in the store.

    Friday Challenge: Shirt Jackets/Shackets | May 16th Closing

    To kick this off, I'm posting my today's fit, as it's perfect shacket weather right now (although, not gonna lie, this is a four-season piece for me)
