The Overcoat Thread
Yes, that’s the balmacaan from Buck Mason in Magee tweed. Salvo is making me up a Polo-esque polo coat in Harrison’s camel hair, should be ready for a fitting when he comes in April. Might look into Harrison’s archive cashmere for another coat but think I might opt for a sport coat instead.- UrbanComposition

the profoundly unofficial I Sarti Italiani thread
Heyoooo Yes, @circumspice is correct in that I've pushed Salvo for a cut that he (and most Italians) would normally never do. Salvo himself prefers suits on the slim side, but he has noticed that more and more customers (even in Italy) are asking for more room. I've gotten him to the point...- UrbanComposition

Upcoming NYC Trunk Shows
Heyooo I won't be with Salvo this time, but his colleague Claudio will be there for translation. He's a great guy, taller, better looking, and an all around solid dude. That said, free to reach out to me via DM with any questions- UrbanComposition

The Official Dieworkwear Appreciation Thread
Hey there, sorry I'm just now seeing this. The guys at Tailors Keep accept shipments and they know exactly what kind of interfacing to use, and how much. Jonathan is an excellent technical tailor, but not the best stylist. The two together have a great symbiotic relationship, similar to the...- UrbanComposition

Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread
Whoops, yes, I have the Harrison's 15oz. Didn't know that Minnis' woolen started at 15oz though. Thanks! Learned something new :)- UrbanComposition

Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread
Here is my flannel experience from soft/spongy to harder/crispy (although no flannel is really crispy). VBC Lady San Felice 11.5oz woolen flannel is supremely soft. Worn a couple times a year, mostly casually. Doesn’t keep a great crease, but it’s like wearing sweats. Best for roomy/classic...- UrbanComposition

Grant Stone - Official Affiliate Thread
I'm not sure if it'll help with breaking in stiff shoes, but I can imagine it would. I go sockless when the weather is warm. I have the same experience, which is why I wear them wet until they dry.- UrbanComposition

Grant Stone - Official Affiliate Thread
I’m not sure I understand the question…soaking them with water (or rubbing a solution of water & a bit of white vinegar) helps to stretch leather. This method will make your loafers bigger.- UrbanComposition

Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread
No, that's an old picture, Angel hasn't used that fabric in a while. I do like the yellow overcheck; the Harrison's is cashmere with no overcheck at all. I'm afraid it might look (I can't believe I'm typing this) too boring.- UrbanComposition
