    Smyth & Gibson MTM/bespoke fit shirt - What changes should I tell them to make?

    I'm getting some (supposedly bespoke) shirts from Smyth & Gibson, and they just recently sent me a fit shirt. I can't travel to them and they can't come to me, so I'd have to talk to them about the changes that I want to make, and they will alter the pattern for me. In general I found the shirt...

    What kind of scarf/neckwear is this?

    Or is it just a piece of cotton rolled up and put underneath the t-shirt?

    Haven't been to this forum/thread for such a long time :). I was trying a new shirt collar today - The tie knot is too big for this style?

    Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

    I'm new to Carmina and just wondering if you guys can help me clarify something -> I live in Dublin so would the Carmina e-boutique the best place for me to buy their shoes? The prices on their websites are the same as the prices in their boutiques right? How come people here on the forum choose...

    Another overcoat. This time it's an (original) Crombie (but I'm neither a skinhead nor a suedehead :)).

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

    This is me wearing the coat buttoned. Too long isn't it? I think I will have it shortened by 2-3 inches and will also have the waist suppressed a bit. What I was wearing underneath - I posted a picture of me wearing this Neil Barrett jacket a while ago to ask if I should keep it; one SFer...

    Post Undergrad Sob Story, any advice?

    EMartNJ you went to school in Pton? By any chance you're a fellow Tiger? I'm class of '09 ;)! And I don't mean to sound snobbish but if you are indeed a Tiger, it shouldn't be too hard to get a (at least temporary) job no? I know a lot of Princetonians do banking upon graduation but there are so...

    upr_crust I'm 5'6'' so very short (and fat with a disproportionate neck-body - very unfortunate I know :(). I would love to shorten the coat but as yywwyy pointed out, the buttons are positioned so slow that shortening the coat would ruin the overall balance. I bought it because I thought it's a...

    3rd post - Getting ready for the winter. The jacket looks long here most probably because of the angle. It's fine in real life I think. Overcoat: YSL Suit: Graham Browne - This was bespoken for a member of SF and I bought it off him a while ago Shirt: TM Lewin - It's actually pink...

    Thanks the interview went ok so hopefully I'll hear back from them soon. As for the tie knot, truth to be told I don't wear suits/ties that much and didn't even know how to tie a tie by myself until last week. I managed to learn the Windsor knot which is supposed to be the most simple one (and...

    This is my second post in this thread but first of all I want to thank all those who commented on my first post (patterned trousers and short-sleeved white shirt) with many constructive suggestions. I thought of answering all the questions and thanking everyone but this thread moved so quickly...

    My first made-to-measure shirt (in Dublin): Dalvey, Smyth & Gibson, or Ermenegildo Zegna?

    Well everything is unreasonably expensive in Ireland :(. I'll go to my measuring appointment to see how they are and make a decision then to see if I should have a shirt made with them or not. Thanks! I'll check them out the next time I'm in London.

    I actually thought the blazer was long and was even planning to have it shortened :). The waist of the blazer has already been let out; the tailor wanted to let out more but I was afraid that it would look too boxy - Now I guess I'll have to visit the tailor again for him to say "I told you...

    First time posting in this thread so plz be gentle ;). These are my newly bought items and I just threw them on altogether so I don't think they went very well. Suggestion on which blazer color would go with the pants? Belt/no belt? And my apology for the messy room :).

    My first made-to-measure shirt (in Dublin): Dalvey, Smyth & Gibson, or Ermenegildo Zegna?

    Thanks for the heads up! Where did you get your MTM with Zegna? Here in Dublin it was done through a department store called Brown Thomas and they quoted me >250e for a shirt (lowest price for their "cheapest" fabrics), >1200e for a jacket, and >1800e for a suit. I thought it was "reasonable"...

    My first made-to-measure shirt (in Dublin): Dalvey, Smyth & Gibson, or Ermenegildo Zegna?

    They seem to be very affordable but these quoted prices are from 3 years ago so they might be much higher now. I'll check them out the next time I'm in London. For now I guess, given the limited options here in Dublin, I'll have one Smyth & Gibson and one Ermenegildo Zegna shirts made to see how...

    My first made-to-measure shirt (in Dublin): Dalvey, Smyth & Gibson, or Ermenegildo Zegna?

    My neck is disproportionate to my body so I always had to wear shirts that are way too big for me. Now I'm thinking of having my first (and maybe more) made-to-measure shirt here in Dublin (Bespoke is almost non-existent here to the best of my knowledge). Which of the three brands would you...
