    Bespoke/MTM/custom white dress tie.

    I'm looking for a custom length (my neck is larger than the 18.5 adjustable ones go up to) classic full dress white bow tie in traditional weight cotton piqué/marcella (depending on what side of the pond you're on). I have access to both NYC and London before I need it, so a recommendation for...

    MTM overcoat in London/Cambridge?

    I'm looking for a new overcoat of a classic design (double-breasted, peak lapel, below the knee, dark blue or black wool). It has to be made to measure as I'm rather corpulent, but I'd rather not spend Row prices (graduate student). I'm based in Cambridge, but do end up in London about once a...

    CEGO Shirts

    I have three shirts from him, and they're the best I've ever owned. He's excellent about fabric and style choices. As others have said, just go see him.

    Budd Shirts (Piccadilly Arcade)?

    My father swears by Budd RTW shirts. I can't comment on the fit overly, although he likes a little space in his shirts. What I can say is that they are good quality - he's had many of his for over 10 years.

    Where to buy wide casual shoes in NYC?

    I have wide feet + an orthodic and I've had good luck with casual shoes from Harry's on the UWS (Broadway and 83rd). They have a nice selection.

    Creepy Sartorial Images

    (Full size photo here). That's direct from Hickey Freeman's website. You'd think they'd know how to dress a tailcoat properly.

    Best dressed movie character

    C.K. Dexter Haven, Nick Charles, or, if you're feeling more modern, I'm a fan of Ian Struan Dunross.

    JAB Blazer

    This may earn me some negative attention on here, but one has to ask. Scott, do you have any future plans to offer larger sizes or custom sizes?

    HELP! Military inspired coat

    Until I saw the length, I thought you were talking about the Torchwood coat. What program, out of curiosity? Have you tried actual military surplus?

    white tie with DJ

    One change in the UK would be that it's considered incorrect there now to wear a wing collar with black tie (it wasn't in the '30s) but it's still OK here. When did that change occur? I did my undergraduate in Ireland a few years ago (graduated 2005) and an evening wear wing collar was still...

    Pre Act of Union British flag lapel pin

    "Britain" did not exist until the Acts of Union so you won't be able to find such a flag even if you were to commission the pin yourself. Do you perhaps mean a flag of "Great Britain" without Ireland? I mean the Pre 1800 Union Flag: Not the English pre 1707 Act of Union/pre 1606 Union of the...

    Pre Act of Union British flag lapel pin

    One of the Professors in my MA program is retiring, and as he's an 18th century British historian, a few of us grad students thought it would be fun (as a joke) to get him a pre Act of Union British flag lapel pin (an East India Company flag would also serve). Has anyone ever seen such a thing...

    Aristocratic clothing

    http://www.sutlers.co.uk/ is a good place to start. Also, I know an excellent seamstress who has some experience with the period you're talking about. PM if your search doesn't turn up what you're looking for.

    Rank best dressed nationalities

    1) French - more fashion forward, thinnest I object to this on principal. A thin person is not, by their nature, better dressed all the time than a chunky person. Best dressed is about clothes and fit, and while clothes do generally fit better on thinner people, it is not a universal truth...

    Manhattan Sales Alert!!

    Any reports from Barney's Warehouse Sale that started today? http://www.barneys.com/Barneys-New-Y...efault,pg.html I picked up two ties there today. Selection of shirts seemed pretty poor (almost entirely the same white and light blue). Didn't bother looking at the suits (nothing there that...
