    High bottom-most shirt buttons

    Some people (me) are long wasted. That is, my torso is "tall" but the rest of my body is mostly average. In my case I have longer arms as well so I buy Tall shirts off the rack. I had the same gap problem you mention. I spent years at uniy and beyond dressed this way and no one seemed to...

    What are you listening to?

    Hard Times Come Again No More By Stephen Foster Music by Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer, and Mark O'Connor Vocals by James Taylor From 1855 these lyrics seem apropos for our present times. I normally don't enjoy "perfect" music or anything I consider to be over produced. This song is my excpetion. I...

    Worrying about foot shrinkage?

    I am told that men of a certain age experience this. I have a boon pheasant hunting companion who had to get rid of many pairs of fancy boots (I live in cowboy boot country) when his feet shrank (he was about 63 at the time). Many of our peers reported similar situations between mid 50s to...

    Rider Boot Company

    Thank you for the update - my youngest son wears a US 16 in most shoes but he COULD wear a 15 if it had a wide toe box. I'm not buying him any Riders just yet - but maybe a graduation present someday. And: Those boots look great!

    Need assistant with my difficult build

    I don' think that is a given. If you find the right tailor you might be surprised what they could do with a 48L by taking a lot out of the back seam all the way down and adjusting the front accordingly. Now, where I live this type of alteration would cost over $350 (USD) by a first class...

    Rider Boot Company

    That is great to hear. I am on my third wear and I feel guilty every time I shoe-up knowing that less fortunate souls (soles?) are still not united with their MTO orders.

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    Playing around with ordering my first shirt -medium blue OCBD as a trial shirt. Does the size of the collar and points scale at all? In other words, will S&M make me a longer collar based on having a big neck/chest? I find that "one size fits all" collars look comical on a bigger guy (and a...

    ModernTailor.com is dead, what other good low-price online tailors are recommended?

    I did a double take as well. I think they are dead to him, maybe. I am less final but I'm not helping the MT customer service to improve by lowering my standards. I received an order last week so they are not out of business.

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    So, the website is down today? This is my first attempt to visit and I am worried that the problem is me.

    ModernTailor.com is dead, what other good low-price online tailors are recommended?

    I am in the same boat today. On my last order (4 shirts) I chose "express shipping". This cost me $72 USD and the shipping took over 10 days. I did not ever get a tracking update - the tracking number simply stated "in transit" with no location and no dates, times at all. I have been happy...

    LuxeSwap - Official Affiliate Thread

    Yes, and not all of them are ending in my favor. To whomever grabbed that Vanda Garza Fina Butterscotch (tie) I hope that you get a chest hair caught in your first knot and it really stings! But seriously, I have a 22 year-old applying for jobs this month and I have snapped up some ties and...

    Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

    Clarification: I was not deliberately scraping the toes. I would get scratches and scrapes from my automobile (above the pedals) and all kinds to environmental hazards such as chairs, toolboxes, desks, etc. This would show the tan under and it was discordant to me. So I employed dye so that...

    Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

    Thank you - Acorn, yes. The toes have "evolved". First, I just burnished the toes with a bit of polish. Then, I kept scraping the polish off to reveal the tan below. So I knocked all of the polish off the toe with some deglazer and dyed the toes with some light brown dye. Then I polished over...
