    The pursuit for OTR suits that mimic Steed Tailors' house cut

    Hi guys, I'm still searching for OTR suits that have the "Steed" silhouette - they all look beautiful. The clean, roped shoulders, nipped waist, clean chest, proper length and overall fitted look are I'll let the pictures speak for themselves though. Ideally, I'd have a slightly lower stance...

    Should I go with B. Nelson's or Alden's Restoration process?

    I have a pair of 908's and love them to death but it's about time for them to be serviced. I just want a standard recrafting done on my shoes but would like my uppers refinished. The price isn't a big difference: 140 for B Nelson and 169 for Alden. I have accounted for turnaround time. I am...

    What are some tie colors that go well with a chocolate brown suit for conservative business dress?

    Hey all, I have a chocolate brown herringbone suit of nearly this exact color: I'm trying to come up with tie colors to wear with it as a brown suit doesn't seam all that versatile(buyer's remorse & too late to return). I found this thread which has been helpful. I basically understand that...

    Do Tailors usually keep the fabric when drastically taking in the waist & chest of a suit coat?

    I want to buy a lightly used Hickey Freeman Madison that was taken in so much that it now fits one size down(42 to 40). An unaltered Madison is usually 22-22.5" in the chest and ~21" in the waist. I normally wear coats with more suppression. For example, my RLBL is 21.5" in the chest and 20" in...

    How SF SHOULD be - all must read

    Would you rather own a Belvest or E Zegna Milano suit?

    Hi guys, I wanted to get as much input as possible because I know these two brands are big here(at least one is and one was): Would you rather own a Belvest Black Label suit or an E Zegna Milano suit? I can only pick one or the other right now due to finances. I have trouble finding pictures of...

    Where's the best place to get good deals on Brooks Brothers 1818 Regent?

    Hi all, I've been looking for a long time, on multiple websites. I've had an open thread in the market place for over half a year, as well as lurk eBay. Rue la la is a hit or miss most of the times in sizing. Do you guys know any good places to get Regent suits whether used or new? This may...

    Hickey Freeman Beacon fit VS Brooks Regent

    Hi All, I tried searching for information regarding this but there was hardly any to find, and none relating the two. Does anyone have knowledge on which one is slimmer? How one fits in comparison to the other? I am familiar with the Regent(Own one, tried several on, and own Fitzgerald's), but...

    Where do you buy YOUR Gold Toe Windsor OTC socks?

    Hey Fellas, I'm going to buy several pairs of these, as a few Marcoliani. My question is where do you buy yours, and does it matter? I see Amazon has a 3pack for $12, Kohl's for 21, Nordstrom for roughly the same. Does the point of purchase matter in terms of quality? I read a few posts on...

    Ralph Lauren Purple Label Silk Green Woven Pindot tie

    I am selling a Ralph Lauren Purple Label Silk Green Woven Pindot tie $40 OBO. I purchased it from another user here and realized it didn't go with any of my suits. I only wore it once when trying it on at home with a suit on so I can say it has only been worn once on my side- tied a FIH. It came...

    How does PRL Bradford compare to RLBL?

    I have tried on various RLBL suits. It's hard to find them at a price within my range, so I'm looking to try PRL instead. Multiple times I've read on here that the Bradford is similar to the RLBL Anthony. How true is this statement? How similar are the two? I fit a 42L staple Anthony cut very...

    Can anyone shed light on which one is more fitted and the stylistic differences between each model? I can't find any info online; i also saw variations such as paul II and stuart II. I want to buy one during one of their sales. How do they compare to an RLBL?

    Which Sammy model should I purchase?

    Hi all, I wanted to ask if you know of any models/cuts that are similar to the Fitz. I fit my Fitz very well after bringing in the waist 1.5-2"(A more recent model I tried on at the store fit better OTR than my current one OTR - must be newer than mine). I'm looking for a model that will fit me...

    Why do so many people get the fabric cut on their trousers when hemming the pants?

    I'd like to ask this, because I don't understand the thought process - it doesn't make much sense to me long term. Wouldn't it also add extra weight, which is good if you like wear plain bottoms? And for the love of God It makes purchasing suits difficult. Can't all the extra fabric get hemmed...
