    Looking for a tailor in Vietnam

    At the end of February my wife and I will be touring Vietnam on an organized tour (17 days) so we won't have much free time. Can anyone recommend a good, reliable tailor in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) or elsewhere where I can be measured for a suit that can be mailed to me when it's ready? And...

    Tailor in New Delhi, India

    I didn't bother to buy anything. Later, I ended up buying, sort of online - there is someone in my area who takes the measurements, shows the material available, and orders it form somewhere in Asia (naturally he wont say who from or where). It took a couple of weeks for the suit to arrive at...

    Tailor in New Delhi, India

    Next week I will be in New Delhi for a 3-day academic conference at Nehru University. Afterwards I will be touring and not returning to New Delhi nor will I be in any one place for more than a day or two. Is it possible to order custom-made suits and shirts so that they would be ready in 3...

    What style hat is this?

    That style is known as "fedora with big ass brim and moderately slim ribbon". Try the Akubra Stylemaster for a similar hat. Akubra is known for great quality at a very reasonable price, and they make a lot of big brimmed stuff becuase they're still used as outdoor working hats by Australian...

    Slipping tie knots- collar band peeking out above knot.

    "On nearly all my shirts I have the annoying problem you can see below... even if I tie the knot snugly, with a few shakes of the head it slips down to where the shirt's collar band peaks out above the knot, making me look sloppy. I'm not talking about gradual slippage over the workday, I mean...

    Cotton V-Neck Sweater? Does it SHRINK?

    hi, i'm sort of new to fashion. i am thinking about purchasing thin-fabric 100% v-neck sweaters from Gap Outlet and Lands' End. Size SMALL fits perfectly on me- in a slim fitted way. It's just the right length, any smaller would be too tight. Size MEDIUM is a bit looser on me. Do you guys...

    Hat recommendations?

    I'm looking for a hat to pair with my charcoal herringbone chesterfield overcoat. I came across a mini check fedora at Brooks Brothers that looks pretty nice. I'd like to solicit recommendations on this hat or if there is another style worth considering. Thanks in advance. If you live in the...

    Big Socks

    Where can you get nice socks for size 13 (US) feet? It used to be that most socks went to 12, lately that's 11. Selection is very limited where I've been looking north of 12. Viccel has large sizes - at least up to size 14 (my size). They post on Style Forum but you can also look them up on the...

    What will you be wearing when you are old

    I guess I'm one of the old guys - it crept up on me when I wasn't looking. But I weigh only a bit more than I did when I got married 40 years ago and I'm still in shape. I liked to dress well then and I still do - the main difference is that then most people tried to dress well (think...

    Serious question that's going to make you all angry.

    SF also promotes the myth of certain brands or levels of quality at which things "just fall apart" and they cite that buying a higher quality (read: more expensive) products means that they will last longer. While this can be true in some cases, I do find it odd that I still wear (cheap)...

    What to do about shirts wrinkled by seat belt

    I usually wear a jacket and tie to work when the weather is cool enough, but take off the jacket once I get there. The problem, which has begun to bother me more and more, is that my car's seat belt leaves noticeable wrinkles in the shirt. Am I the only person with that problem? If not, how...

    Dressing for job you want, not one you have VS. not dressing better than boss

    Some of the comments in this thread are bound to get you alienated or fired. I say emulate those around you, but do it better. Just wear it to the point where others can see that you're better dressed (and thus pay more attention to details), but can't exactly place how you're better dressed...

    How to avoid being a terror target...dress better you slobs!

    What's wrong with American tourists looking and acting like American tourists? There seem to be a lot of snobs on this thread. There is no way a tourist is not going to be recognized as a tourist - unless he has stopped being a tourist, has integrated into the local environment, and speaks the...

    Need help dressing for a wedding.

    I'm 22, this is my first wedding to attend as an adult, it's for one of my friends. The dress code is "Semi-Formal," it's indoor and outdoor. The families are pretty rich. I would wear a full suit, but I cant really afford one now. I have enough if I have too buy one, but I would prefer not...
