    Recommend me a single breasted short coat

    So hard to find. I'm looking for a single breasted short coat, like this one: Most peacoats are double-breasted, which I really don't like. Pure wool preferred, warm enough for the London winter. But will consider alternatives for Spring/Autumn. Suggestions please!

    Advice please: leather jackets

    I'd like to get a nice collarless leather motorcycle jacket. I'm a bit bewildered by the range on offer - from very cheap to very expensive. I'd like something that is good quality and will last for years. I don't want to pay extra for a famous/luxury brand. Slim fit preferred. I'm in London...

    Track jackets

    I'm in the market for a track jacket, preferably black or blue. The challenge is that I dislike logos or branding, and want something plain. The styles I like (minus the stripes/branding) are: Much better but still branded (and expensive): While I'm hoping vainly that Uniqlo are going to...

    I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.

    I've just received a pair of Samurais (my first raw denim) and need to shrink them. People talk about "soaking". Is this literally just putting them in the bath? Can I put them in the wash instead? If so what temp? Thanks

    A.P.C. The official thread for APC denim sizing and other questions.

    Just bought the smallest size in APC Rescues (29). They are too loose around the waist for me. Will they shrink or should I return them?

    Nice blazers/sportcoats in London

    Thanks for replies so far. I have checked H&M and Zara and all their blazers seem to be synthetic (unless I have missed the good ones). I don't have a budget, but I want the least expensive jacket that meets my requirements, whether that is H&M or Turnbull and Asser. I'm not looking for...

    Nice blazers/sportcoats in London

    I'm looking for a blazer/sportcoat for stepping out in the evening. I'm in London so it needs to be from a local store. I hope not to spend too much money but do want something decent, i.e. not a nasty synthetic fabric garment (although do I have a choice with the lining)? Other than that I have...

    Canvas slip-on shoes

    I am looking for a couple of pairs of sleek canvas slip-on shoes - one in black and one in white. Vans slip-ons are not sleek enough for me. Cost is a factor too - shoes made in China from rubber and canvas should be cheap. Any ideas?

    Japanese denim: Sugar Cane 47 or 45rpm Sorahiko

    So how is the Sorahiko better in terms of quality? Is the fit the same for both? And how does the Samurai S5000VX compare with the Sugar Cane and the Sorahiko? I'm going to Japan next week and need to understand these questions in advance!
