    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

     This is where the article is flawed though. Not everyone who buys high-end tailoring is 'rich' (unless we go down the route that anyone who lives in the West is by default a a 1%-er...) Some people save all year (or more) on a median-average 1st world economy salary to make it work. I've...

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    Very vulgar article. Vulgar to mention anything to do with the tailor's finances. Downright bizarre of the writer attack the 'rich' people who buy high-end tailoring - makes the guy sound like a jealous hater basically.

    East Sicily Tailors

    Come on DWW, There are surely many good tailors based permanently in NYC. Leonard Logsdail immediately springs to mind if people need someone British. I love the look of this Sicilian guys work on UC but if this is going to result in people pushing an old man who looks to be in his 70s into...

    That cream jacket looks great, well done.

    Good Natured Advice Thread (improving a business wardrobe)

    I think it looks good on him. As always 'on him' or in the case of high-fashion runway 'on her' is always the key. Not everything is for everyone. Is the average overweight Westerner going to look good in their more kooky ensembles? Probably not. Will it work on a young guy on a night out in...

    A Culture Of Clones

    It's certainly an interesting topic and one that I would find enjoyable to discuss. I definitely think people on SF can be a little too conservative and hermetically sealed to certain sartorial concepts. But I honestly don't get the tone of the initial gifs / memes... No one is stopping men...

    Antonio Liverano, Florentine tailor

     The 'problem' is, us outside of Italy and more specifically Florence (if we are talking about a 'Florence' style, should one exist), is that we don't know how to find these tailors or if they are any good, because they have limited internet presence?

    Ian Bone Tailor - Newcastle, UK?

     Normally agree with what you say GBR (even if most of it seems to be written in your panto-villain, tongue firmly in cheek guise) but not sure I agree with you here. Not every provincial small tailor is great at marketing themselves with the right buzzwords which will appeal to all knowing...

    This board is unrecognisable

     More affected than someone who said people couldn't know anything about bespoke until they'd ordered 12 suits from the same tailor?

    This board is unrecognisable

    To the OP, isn't it obvious - most people now just read permanent style for their sartorial fix. Second I guess would be social media I suppose. I browse here once week or so, but it does seem mainly now like a venue for people to sell stuff or for people to organise trunk shows. No shame or...

    Double Breasted Style.

     I'm genuinely confused by the various negative comments about the way his suits fit/his physique. He looks to have a very generic normal/slim guy's build.... What exactly is it people are expecting a suit should do for him? I'm no tailor but we all surely know even the best / most...

    gennaro paone: former head tailor of rubinacci

    Wasn't it one of the members on here who was organising this trunk show?

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    I have a pale cream jacket in linen. As others have said, yeah, its a ***** to keep clean. And in all honesty, I have often not enjoyed myself as much as I might on a night out wearing it, as I would were I wearing say a standard navy worsted. Disagree with NMWA a little though, in that, if...

    POLL: Is Eidos Napoli an Italian or an American brand ?

    Great to see AC engaging in this at times bizarre thread. And in all honesty I find it almost impossible to refute anything he has said (not that I want to, I'm a fan of his designs and will definitely try it when it gets distribution here). Isn't there something applicable here though in the...
