Tailors in Eastern Europe
Very interested in how this turns out. I'm in Vienna but travel often to Hungary and have been looking for a tailor in Budapest for some time. I've had a couple of quite satisfactory bespoke suits made by the Slovak visiting tailor at Jungmann und Neffe in Vienna. The cost runs to about EUR...- tractorcasual

Sartorial Edinburgh
Lived there for over 10 years, it's a great city but Styleforum-approved stores are thin on the ground. You might try: Good cashmere can be found at Belinda Roberston in Dundas Street, Brora in Frederick Street and Hawick Cashmere in Grassmarket. Stay away from the High Street and Princes...- tractorcasual

Vienna, Austria. A suit town?
For evenings, though, we'll be trying to sneak into the State Opera or do a few special meals along with the cafà fare that's also likely to be good. Hotel Sacher and that sort of deal. For that, are dark suits/black shoes absolutely The Thing in Vienna, or would a dark blue jacket and darkest...- tractorcasual

Sartorial Adventures in Vienna, Budapest & Warsaw
some shoe guys told me mixed things about mr. fischer but nvm... I have a pair of RTW half-brogue oxfords from Fischer. They are supposedly "Made in Vienna" and I like the shape of the shoes, but the leather quality and craftmanship are average at best. They are quite a bit cheaper than other...- tractorcasual

Alterations tailor in Vienna, Austria?
Schneider und Maurer at Kärntner Strasse 5/7 did a great job for EUR 86,00. I am happy with the result and will use them again. This is the first time I have had a RTW suit adjusted and I was concerned that bringing in the waist so much would ruin the nice Neopolitan lines - however I shouldn't...- tractorcasual

Alterations tailor in Vienna, Austria?
Thanks for the suggestion Fritzl. In the end I took the suit to Schneider Maurer on Kärntner Strasse 5/7. as they were recommended to me separately by Jungmann & Neffe and Knize. The tailor at Jungmann and Neffe is too busy to do alterations to anything that he did not make himself, which is...- tractorcasual

Ordered a few pair of the Viccel socks from Turkey about a week ago, still haven't arrived. Has anyone had any experience with those yet, they certainly are priced right?

Carpincho (Capybara) better than Peccary for gloves?
Carpincho leather is supposed to be more elastic and softer than peccary. I don't know which is considered "better", although both are expensive. I have a pair of Capybara/Carpincho leather gloves, bought a few years ago from Handschuhe Beschorner in Vienna, Austria. They are very comfortable...- tractorcasual

What does a man wear to work in the summer to not sweat like mad?
+1 on lightweight white cotton undershirts - you will still sweat but it will not create unsightly stains on your dress shirts. Contrary to what you might expect, you will not feel much hotter wearing an undershirt. A close-fitting, v-necked undershirt with sleeves is best. A close fitting...- tractorcasual

Alterations tailor in Vienna, Austria?
Jungmann & Neffe at Albertinaplatz 3. Tailor in on Thursday and Saturday afternoons. Thanks for the suggestion. I've actually had two suits made bespoke by Mr. Zahradnik, the Slovakian tailor at Jungmann and Neffe. I didn't think he would do alterations of a suit he did not make himself, I'll...- tractorcasual

Alterations tailor in Vienna, Austria?
In English Wieners are sausages, not the inhabitants of Vienna. Yes. Also penises. A bit like Kennedy, when he said: "Ich bin ein Berliner" (in German, a Berliner is a doughnut). A nice story, sadly untrue: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ich_bin...t_urban_legend.- tractorcasual

Alterations tailor in Vienna, Austria?
Can anyone recommend a good alterations tailor in Vienna, Austria? I have just bought a very nice Sartoria Napoli suit from eBay that needs to be taken in around the waist of the jacket. Given the nature of the work I'm not sure my usual tailor is the best man for the job. He's great at altering...- tractorcasual
