    Pointer Brand

    Ian, thanks for the awesome reply. As a graduate student of international relations I won't do much of barn works, but "broken-in" looks were what I was looking for with this item too (besides, I wouldn't be able to afford dry cleaning). If it's possible, would you share some photos of your...

    Pointer Brand

    EmergencyIan, thanks for your input. I have pretty similar physique as you (5'8" & 160; 38 jacket), so I guess I should also go with the medium size for the chore coat. May comments I have read about this item being slightly bigger than usual sizes of other brands made me to think that I...

    tailors in seoul korea?

    It seems Laffiar make pretty nice looking pairs. They advertise Goodyear welt and Bolognese construction custom shoes. Their website is in both Korean and English. http://www.laffiar.com/ Their blog is also good place to take a look at their works. http://blog.naver.com/laffiar

    Pointer Brand

    Yeah I am thinking of rather getting Carhartt's chore coat (C001, C002 or RNC001). It might not be made in USA any more but it's only slightly more expansive than Pointer Brand and it comes with collars and blanked lined. They are also more widely distributed--some stores in San Diego (where I...

    So their Brown Duck Chore Coat is currently priced at $87.25. I am curious how much they have raised the price recently. I saw an blog post dated couple years that states the price around $60. Any idea?

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    Great to hear that lachyzee, would you share some photos? So did your replica had a same fit as the original Mercer? I know one of the common issue people have with Mercer shirts are the full fit. I am just curious how Mercer's long unlined collar would look on Luxire's custom slim fit...

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    I know some of you guys tried to replicate Mercer and Sons' collars with Luxire and I was curious how that worked out. I'm trying to do my first order with Luxire for OCBD and thinking of an unlined collar which I've never had.

    The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

    Hey I was wondering if I could ask for some advice to thrifting experts in LA area. So I am visiting LA this weekend and wonder which thrifting spots you guys would recommend. I found ten Goodwill spots around LA and only one Salvation Army (in Glendale). I understand that the West LA is the...

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    Can anybody comment on the fit of RTW/clearance shirts? I am told by Luxire that they are regular fits slightly slimmer than other brand's regular shirts. But when I look at the RTW measurements and compare the chest size for other brand's (Brooks, Land's, etc) regular fit shirt's chest size...
