Linen Suits
What does hal-lined mean in BB talk? Is that half canvassed? As stated above, it would refer to the lining. Mine, last years model, was fully lined. It was also half canvassed. As far as I know all BB suits are half canvassed, except for the Golden Fleece models. The descriptions for the suits...- josh1233

So...which online MTM is the best?
My vote is for mytailor.com. Tons of fabric choices, and an easy upgrade to thick MOP buttons. I always get the "soft collar and cuffs". Not a fan of fused C&Cs. I will, however agree that there wait times can get a little ridiculous.- josh1233

Linen Suits
I have this one LINK from BB and am very happy with it. Although mine has side vents, which I prefer (got it last year) Before purchasing it, I ordered one from Tyrwhitt made of a silk/linen blend. While the coat was fine, the trousers were terrible. Extremely baggy, to the point where any...- josh1233

alterations in Central or Western PA?
I am trying to find a tailor in West Central PA, or even as far as Pittsburgh that does quality suit alterations. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Everyone in my area (the barren wasteland of Altoona) is incompetent. I'd even be open to recommendations in the DC area.- josh1233

Is this watch legit?
Cool, but it's not a real Smersh watch unless the crown pulls out and is a garrote- josh1233

Modern Tailor vs Mytailor
I too just got a shirt from mytailor that was ordered toward the end of December. Other than the wait, I am very pleased with the shirt. I need to tweak the shoulder width, but everything else seems pretty good. You can request just about anything you want in the comments box. I went with a...- josh1233

Want opinions on cut of 2 new suits
Run!! she doesn't know what she is doing. You should never have the coat taken in down the center, as it will raise the back of the coat. She is full of crap about not being able to take it in from the rear side seams.- josh1233

Vents popping open
I've seen some makers (Pal Zileri Sartoriale IIRC) that have a strip of fabric on the inside of the jacket that attaches from one vent to the other to keep the vents from flaring out. This is something you might consider. Brooks Bros. jackets have that system as well.- josh1233

thanks southbound35. Not sure what to do. Are you sure that the CT shoes you got were Loake? I believe the only Loake shoes CT re-brand are the "calf leather" ones. And other than the color of the CT versions, they are a dead ringer for the Loake Oban model (Last 1639). I've heard...- josh1233

I have some items that my wife bought for me from C. Tyrwhitt that I was going to return, but am thinking about maybe exchanging for their "Conker Brown Calf Leather Oxford Semi-Brogue Shoes" which if my detective work is correct are a pair of Loake Oban's. My question is, do the Loake sizes...- josh1233

altering a peak label into cuttaway at home?
I would think if you do attempt this, you should completely remove the collar from the shirt to make the alterations.- josh1233

A very positive experience with ModernTailor
I may have to give moderntailor a try as well. I've had a shirt on order from mytailor that is going on 4 months and have yet to see it. It will be interesting to see if it shows up before the mytailor shirt.- josh1233

2 quick questions. First, I'm looking at getting a new tux and accessories. Is barathea and grosgrain the same thing? I want the lapels on the dinner jacket and vest to match the tie and have seen both of these in descriptions, as well as the standard satin silk. Second question, is it normal...- josh1233
