    Ask A Question, Get An Answer... - Post All Quick Questions Here (Classic menswear)

    This is the label on a wool flannel navy pinstripe suit. Does anybody know what season or fit this might be from? It's probably not a Ludlow, but could be either really old or Factory?

    Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice

    Picked up these Bostonian Crown Windsor for under $10. Great quality shoe, fits like a glove. Shoes have been recently resoled. The uppers have a few scratches and superficial cracks, and the right shoe had a dark stain that I can't remove (rubbed it with acetone for a while and it's not...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Having scoured thrift stores in Western NY state, I can say that you're not likely to find anything even moderately useful, and even if you luck out, you'd still spend $100+ on tailors. My suggestion: go to NYC or Toronto, stop by a Rack or SuitSupply and find a fit that works for you. Then...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Question for the tailors: I am going to attempt to take in a jacket waist through the center back seam. However, the seam is a welt seam (or a partial flat felled seam), where seam #1 joins the two panels, and seam #2 is 1/4" away and goes over one panel and the folded-over allowance. Jacket...

    What would you do with these shoes if you were to buy them? Restore them in some way? Clean them? Put in display case or wear?

    The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

    Picked up this absolute beast of a double-breasted overcoat for $10. USA made, no perfect fit as far as I'm concerned. I'm thinking of replacing the buttons for something more modern, adding cuff buttons (weird that there aren't any), and deleting the epauletts (a ridiculous detail that I'll...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Question for the tailors: I'm doing waist suppression on a double-vented jacket by taking in the two underarm seams. What's the most efficient way to open up the lining -- take it off from the bottom, or open up the center seam of the lining? The latter seems easier, but may not allow me enough...

    The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

    How do i get the white spots out of shell? Brushing, moisturizing or wiping with water didn't do much. My next go-to is a light vinegar solution...

    The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

    Picked up these gorgeous Allen Edmonds Bench Welt Graysons 13E. It looks like shell, shines like shell, but is not marked with the usual "Genuine Shell Cordovan." Is it shell?

    The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

    Saw a Hickey Freeman 40R jacket (Beacon model) at a Salvation Army that fit beautifully, decided to come back next day to get it half off. It was goooooneeee! :( Which one of you fellas has it? (DMV area)
