    Soft suit sleeve head... puckering

    So I just got a Stile Latino suit in from Yoox today. (not Attolini made anymore, by the way, still pretty nice, but maybe about Isaia level now) The suit is really softly constructed, with basically no padding on the shoulders or chest, just some canvassing to give it some body. It's...

    StevenAver.com VS. Benjamin Sartorial

    So I'm in the market for a new suit, and have been seriously considering going with either Steven Aver's MTM service or a Benjamin Sartorial over at ehaberdasher.com. I'm looking to get a new "staple" as in solid navy, charcoal, or some other such thing along the same line of thought. Benjamin...

    Pants from Mytailor.com

    Can anyone who's had experience with pants from mytailor.com comment on the quality/construction/fabric? Specifically, how do they compare to the "big names" like mabitex, valentini, or even borelli, etc. I got the impression from the archives that they're comparable to WWChan, but mostly it...

    tabs under the lapel, what do they do?

    Just curious, you know those shell fabric tabs that fold under the suit/sportcoat collar at the notch? What do they do? I know it's a detail that only shows up on really high end jackets, but I've never understood why it's there other than to distinguish the fact that it's high end.

    Anyone familiar with Zanella's sportcoats & suits?

    Does anyone have experience with Zanella suits and sportcoats? I see some that I like the look of on ebay, but that doesn't really say anything about what it's like in person

    I think I may have OCD...

    So I was filing down a couple of shoetrees to fit my shoes better. As I was doing it, I just couldn't help wondering "What the frick?! Does this even help?!?" Anyway, has anyone else ever caught themselves thinking that the thing you're doing is so ridiculous you're wondering if you're sane...

    Riviera pants from STP

    Say, Has anyone ever tried those riviera pants from STP? How do they compare to say, Polo made in Italy? By the way, as long as we're on the subject of pants, what does split rear and curtained waist band do to help the pants anyway? Thanks!

    Proper fit of a shoe tree

    Is it important that a shoetree stretches every bend in the toe leather that results from wearing when I put the shoetree in? I'm not talking about extreme stretching, but just enough to put the leather back into neutral position. The reason I'm asking is because I've got a pair (actually a...

    Where do you guys find these deals?

    This might qualify as a "trade secret" but thought I'd just ask anyway. Where on earth are you sellers finding these deals to be able to sell stuff like Purple Label suits here for a few hundred dollars? I accept that there's probably a finders fee involved in the transaction, to which I am not...

    Anyone else swore off fused yet?

    I kinda have... at least for buying new ones anyway. It just feels not right somehow knowing that fusing is like a shortcut that they took just to lower the cost at the sake of quality. Now I haven 't thrown away all my fused or anything. I have a fused sportcoat that I love, but I feel like...

    Pinstripe with no tie?

    I've always been of the opinion that a pinstriped suit with an open collared shirt looks like you just forgot to put a tie on, especially on a white shirt, ugh! Now if it was a polo or a turtle neck, that's different. Anyway, the point is I'm starting to go more business casual and less all...

    Changing a shoe's color (going darker)

    'Sup y'all, Okay, I understand that it's pretty much insane to try and go from a darker color to a lighter color since you have to strip the color off first and that introduces a bucket load of problems, but what about going darker? Like taking this...

    Bruno Magli Quality

    Hi Y'all I've been looking at some Bruno Magli's but have some questions regarding their quality. Anyone had any horror stories about how they just fall apart on you or something like that? Also, anyone know anything about how they fit, smaller, true to size, or whatever. This is what I was...

    Luigi Bianchi Mantova suits

    Have anyone had any experience with "Luigi Bianchi Mantova" suits? I know they have a diffusion line called Lubiam, but I'm curious to know what their 'mainline' is like. Fused/Canvassed info would be really helpful. I'm asking because I found what I think might be a really good deal, $199 from...

    Anyone know of a good bespoke, or at least mtm suit maker in Washington DC? What about shoes? I'd hate to make a trip to NY just for clothing.
