Oxxford Type A vs 1220
The Radcliffe pant is Oxxford's slimmer pant, I believe. It can come in reverse pleats or flat front, however, so make sure you look at the auction listing to the extent that detail is important for you. I'd call it a moderately slim pant. Just ask the seller for measurements if you need...- HalfCanvas

HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III
Wow, this is nit-picking in the extreme. I think Citan's fits are outstanding. A more structured coat wouldn't jibe with the aesthetic he's going for, in my opinion.- HalfCanvas

Oxxford Type A vs 1220
The "Radcliffe" reference could be to the pants. It could be a suit with a "Type A" coat and "Radcliffe" pants. Tony, it's interesting that you say the 1220 is cut on the same pattern as the Highest Quality Type A. I have both and, while almost identical, I did find the shoulders on the...- HalfCanvas

Oxxford Type A vs 1220
They are very close. For me, type A is a bit narrower in the shoulders -- but only just bit. Type A may also be more suited to people with sloped shoulders. The 1220 quality is pretty indistinguishable from type A for me.- HalfCanvas

Really Quick help - Zegna Suit Fit!!!
IF you buy this, you still won't own a zegna suit. This is a cheap piece of crap made with a zegna brand fabric. But it is not a genuine zegna suit. Avoid.- HalfCanvas

Meeting WW Chan this afternoon. Fabric recomendation
Your best bet for a good, middle of the road fabric is probably a Vitale Barberis Canonico. I'd go for either their 110s or their 9-11 oz. year round (not sure of the book names for these though). As an alternative to a solid plain weave wool, you might consider a small nailhead or even a...- HalfCanvas

MyTailor fabric advise needed
I've had some very good recent experience with the Mason Silverline fabrics, actually. Back in the mid-2000s, I ordered a small batch of Silverline from WW Chan and had some hits and misses. But out of 8 Silverline shirts I've ordered from Mytailor over the past few months, I'm happy with...- HalfCanvas

conservative business dress WAYWRN: An Experiment
I am pretty sure most people wear black shoes exclusively with suits, including navy ones. Also, we hear all the time on this forum that black shoes are a must for occasions like court appearances, semi formal nighttime events, etc. If the rule is no black shoes with navy suits, then a...- HalfCanvas

MyTailor: In Favor
I have ordered 12 shirts from mytailor over the past four months. I used the online ordering system for measurements. I used my best fitting shirt as the pattern and made a couple of tweaks. The shirt I used was a janten, btw. For the collar, I have used the wide english spread, which really...- HalfCanvas

Just bought a suit! What needs to be done?
This entire thread is a good example of why any sizing related advice should be almost entirely discounted -- except at the margins, it's very difficult to tell from pictures whether something does in fact fit and, if it does not, why not. You have multiple people simultaneously telling this...- HalfCanvas

Indochino suits?
Hard to tell all the details from your shot (for example, sleeve length), but I think it looks pretty damn good Titus.- HalfCanvas

Best men's store/department store in NYC
Doughboy, good to see you around here again! I wouldn't fly business class if I were you. Instead, I'd find a flight that is unlikely to fill up. You can probably find an off peak flight where you can have a whole row to yourself in economy class. Save the money for your excursions in NYC...- HalfCanvas
