    Leather briefcase Options Wanted

    Thanks for the feedback, think I will be returning it...Curious what makes it look purse-like? The shape? the white stitching? Thoughts on this one?

    Leather briefcase Options Wanted

    Good, Bad or Ugly? One comment I have from my wife is it looks purse-like? One issue I have is the shoulder strap is nylon, like a seatbelt, so I will see about getting a new leather strap made at a local shop.

    Good tailor in Vancouver?

    To get back on topic ... Oakridge is very good and would be a good option for you, but they're not the fastest. I think I will go visit them today during lunch...hopefully they can turn the suit around by next Saturday, as I need it then for a Christmas party.

    Steel Grey 3-Button Suit, thinking about getting a Vest/Waistcoat

    No, it will be too large in the shoulder area! Your tailor (if it is a MTM) should had compensated the fact that you have a "fallen" right shoulder, so your chest area is bulging with cloth, and the cut is not "clean". On the other hand, the pants are too small in the hips area, (you can see the...

    Steel Grey 3-Button Suit, thinking about getting a Vest/Waistcoat

    Thanks for the comments. I did need to go a larger size in the jacket to fit my waist. You would do better with a white pocket square, because the current color is quite similar to the tie's. I was under the impression that the tie and pocket square should be the same color?

    Steel Grey 3-Button Suit, thinking about getting a Vest/Waistcoat

    Please give me your opinion on my suit, vest and the outfit overall... The pants were tailored, the tailor said the jacket fit well, the vest was MTM. The pocket square needs some work and I havent ironed the shirt yet Thanks,

    Steel Grey 3-Button Suit, thinking about getting a Vest/Waistcoat

    If it didn't come with the suit then you want it to be an acenting color since you will not be able to perfectly match the exact shade of the suit. Also you do want to be able to at least see some of the vest with the jacket buttoned. 3 peice suits are not as popular as they once were since men...

    Steel Grey 3-Button Suit, thinking about getting a Vest/Waistcoat

    Bought a Steel Grey 3-button, 2-piece suit this morning, and was thinking of adding a vest/waistcoat to it.
