Split Waistband
According to my tailor, the split waist serves no real purpose, other than look. He actually has a problem with them as he see's too much stress on a small stich.- Dunvegan

Tailor old suits vs Buy new suits
Now, my question is: If the suits are a higher quality, say Zegna, Zileri, etc... When is it time to just buy new? The suits are all "classic" nothing trendy. The only work comes from weight changes and personal style changes as far as sleeve and waist supression. Curious..- Dunvegan

What brand consistently meets your standards?
Pal Zileri. Not the top end, but my best fitting and all around suits! Also, Jones New York for my "Beater" suits! They seem to last and take a beating on days when I'd never wear the "good stuff"!- Dunvegan

Kirkland Signature dress pants
People shouldn't buy clothing in a grocery store. What next? Should people buy shoes in a bakery? Or underwear at a butcher shop? Or TVs at a bespoke tailor shop? Not to sound like a bastard, but does that mean I shouldn't buy cloting at Macy's or Bloomies, either?- Dunvegan

Help me understand super high prices clothes... like Tom Ford
Analogy: The oil paints in a Matisse are only worth a hundred bucks or so, max. Actually... only about $50, depending on the size... Perfect analogy, though!- Dunvegan

Ok, I give up: Why is Kiton so expensive?
I have to put my 2 cents in here... I think it has more to do with advertising and programming than anything else. Certain brands have achieved a level of "panache" that others haven't, and the average person believes that: A) If it costs more it's worth more B) Names impress people C) Money is...- Dunvegan

How much for tailoring services?
I use Adel at the Alteration Shop in New York City. He does a brilliant job, and I've never paid more than $100 for a whole suit (take in the waist and cuffs on the pants, waist supression, sleeve length and collar on the jacket).- Dunvegan

Is styleforum turning off new members?
When I first came to this board, I was flamed and insulted, but quickly understood that: A) I was asking some Noob questions, and B) there are A-holes everywhere who think that a snarky comment is cooler than answering a question. BUT...... for every snarky, flaming response, I've gotten 2-3...- Dunvegan
