What happened to Kilgour?
I know it's a long way from being the classic bespoke tailor Kilgour, French & Stanbury, but in recent years Kilgour has still made some good RTW stuff. But their website has read "Sale Now One" (with the typo) for months, and their stock is almost nonexistent. What happened to the company?- jester

NWT Kilgour dress shirts, 15 1/2
Kilgour is a Savile Row tailor that's been around, in one form or another, since 1882. They've recently started to modernize their style and put emphasis on their ready-to-wear line. You can see their own description of their shirts at https://kilgour.com/shirting.html. These are very good...- jester

Seersucker--lined or unlined? Other details?
I recently got an overwhelming urge for a red seersucker suit. (Red stripes on white, that is.) I thought Paul Stuart would have it, but it turns out they only have some faux seersucker thing, a silk-and-linen fabric with red and white stripes but without the crinkle. So I'm half thinking of...- jester

Metal toe taps?
I usually have heel taps and toe taps put on my shoes; these are always plastic or rubber or whatever they use. Recently I had some refinishing work done on a pair of bespoke shoes--the toes were worn down, so they patched the front of the sole and added toe taps that turned out to be metal...- jester

Hate to sell: C&J Reading Wingtip Monks size UK10E
Damn. I'm a 10 1/2 E in C&J, or I'd take 'em in a second.- jester

Lining Colors Sell the Jacket?
How about a dark blue or purple? I think contrast linings are fun, and a kind of inside joke. These would also be fine, but I usually use blue- or purple-based linings for my blue-based suits, and burgundy or other red-family linings for grey suits. Not that I _really_ match my accessories to...- jester

Lining Colors Sell the Jacket?
It might be fun to do a lining that sets it apart, but I don't want to go too wild. Any ideas? For a charcoal grey, go-to suit for which you don't want to go too wild, you could just get a solid color, burgundy for a charcoal grey I think. Or a bolder but still solid color, depending on your...- jester

Novice Needs Help (Custom or MTM Shirts)
What about Hemrajani/My Tailor? They're coming to DC this month too. Do they stack up with Chan and Jantzen? I'm a big fan of Hemrajani, particularly for suits. I've had several made and they've all been very good indeed, and his professionalism is impeccable. My Hemrajani shirt was not...- jester

Your experience with AE's polished cobbler leather?
I have a pair of AE polished cobbler (in black) that I've had for years, and they're holding up just fine. I love them.- jester

Keeping shirts...
OK, I'll bite. Yes, I have various shirts that I rarely wear any more because I like them too much. (This is entirely different from my habit of not opening things in the first place because doing so would ruin their prelapsarian state--this is simply insanity, but it's my insanity.) Typically...- jester

What's up with windowpane?
Love windowpane. Specifically, I think it fills the important niche of giving interest to a suit without making it too difficult to match. Solid or solid-textured suits always look good but can get boring; pinstripes or plaids can make it difficult if you want to wear a non-solid shirt or a...- jester

Favorite boat shoes?
I wear Sperry Top-siders pretty much any time I'm not in a suit or in workout clothes. I wear through them pretty quickly (I walk a lot), and then get a new pair. On several occasions I've tried other brands of boat shoes, but I always come back to Sperry. It's the Standard, and when I want to...- jester
