    Stefano Bemer tassel loafers

    Majestic pair of Stefano Bemer split-toe tassels. They are either a MTO or bespoke pair, being marked "Per il sig David Laws" and the date 24-9-98, which would make them almost exactly 15 years old. They are however in pristine condition, clearly having received all the care such a pair deserves...

    Fuzzy baby apalaca sportscoats in loud check pattern (pics included)

    What does SF think of the below sportscoats? Would set me back 35-50k yen (about 370 to 550 USD). Both are sourced from Italian makers of unknown quality, sold at Edifice Tokyo and marked down 50-60% currently.

    What tie with mutli-colored brown glenplaid suit (with pictures)

    I know there is quite a few "what tie?" threads, but this particular suiting color and pattern posses a few challenges. My current attempts below (pics are as good as I can make them under the circumstances, sorry) Questions: 1. Which ones do you like? 2. Which ones do you not? (please don't...

    Help me cut this budget (Short version)

    TL;DR version: I have 145k yen. Getting MTO suits on a time-limited 50-70% sale. The stuff I want totals 177k. What do I skip? (Assume my wardrobe is totally void of well-fitting tailored clothing. As it's MTO, all details can be changed around). 1. Standard conservative navy business...

    MTOing a "teachers suit".

    Strolling around the tailors Shinkuku station (there are at least 5-6 of them with easy walking distance from each other) last night I found something rather rare for Tokyo MTO tailors (who mainly carter to the conservative business dress salarymen crowd); a mid-weight domestic-made wool in a darker tan/mustard color...

    Herring Strathclyde vs Meermin Chukka?

    Need a rubber soled chukka for fall/winter. Herring Strathclyde or Meermin? vs. My main problem with the Herrings is that they are made in Portugal at Loakes factory and I´ve seen some rather awfull high-shine corrected grain shoes originating there. While the Meermins appear...

    Determining correct shoe size from a too big shoe?

    So as many others I jumped on the Meermin bandwagon and ordered two pairs of shoes. I was advised to pick size UK9 based on my feet measurements (27.3mm x 10.0 mm), but it turns out that there is something about the shoe that just swallows my feet and they are decidedly too big. I'm in the...

    A cautionary tale of using the Mac method on brogues with a shoddy brush

    (Pictures are reconstruction of events). In trying to breathe some life into my much loved and well-worn Campanile shell brogues (age: 12 years) I decided to give the Mac method (http://theagatineeyelet.wordpress.com/2010/10/05/the-mac-method/) a try. I whipped out what is perhaps not...

    Is this Corneliani suit legit?

    I was vaguely looking around for something summer suit-ish and came across this item on Italian Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230805821814#ht_5403wt_1265 Fully expecting to enter a fierce bidding war I was baffled to see it go for the initial 50 euros (I was the...

    Tall & super-slim: Ebay vs MTM vs retail in Japan

    Greetings good people. My worry is the same as many others, finding suits and tailored clothing that fit my build (183 cm @ 56 kg). As everyone probably knows, 34 (44 EU) is one of the rarest sizes around, in particular on the second-hand market. Still, once in a blue moon the stars align and...
