    Trying a knit tie at a wedding...thoughts on combo?

    Bad lighting, I know, but I'm thinking of this combo for a summer wedding this weekend. The suit is light brown almost khaki and the shirt is light blue. It's a dark brown cashmere knit tie. Would finish it off with light brown oxfords and a white PS. It's a more casual wedding I'm guessing...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

    Appreciated. These shoes were the first "nice" pair of shoes I invested in. I was determined to get non square toes because of this forum, yet still found a way to fail. Getting convinced by SA's is something I've been bad at in the past but am getting much better at it. Ah well, I shall invest...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

    Thanks for the critique. So a solid grey pant would have been the better route to go? I've always wondered what is ideal for length of a jacket as well, any tips? And would a similar color for the shoe work in a wing tip with a more rounded toe?

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

    Second foray into WAYWRN for this young padawan, likely more nervous than my first. Look inspired by going through pages and pages of this thread trying to get a good grasp on blue blazer with grey pants. To avoid it being boring I went with a nice pink shirt and a tie that I thought did the...

    Ask A Question, Get An Answer... - Post All Quick Questions Here (Classic menswear)

    Quick question gents...I have an athletic build and fit a 44R usually off the rack with a waist of 36. Where I run into problems is the sleeves of suit jackets in that they bunch in the arms. My upper arms are fairly developed and I'm not sure what the best solution is to this other than...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

    A little nervous about this, but it's my first entry into WAYWRN. This was Friday after an evening event...yes...taken in a bar bathroom. Fairly simple but I'm a noob so simple is the best way to go. To get to Jedi Master, you have to start slow. Suit: RLBL Tie: Kilgour PS: Dion...

    Suggestions for a Navy Suit

    Being Canadian myself, a few recommendations: 1) As previously mentioned, Samuelsohn made to measure is probably the very best bet. I'd wait until Harry Rosen has an event and you can get 10% off the regular MTM price. I am positive, as I am about to do it myself, that you can get a solid...

    Tailor's in Calgary?

    I see this got bumped so I'll add a response...just brought a brand new RLBL suit into Henry's and he knocked it out of the park. He took in the waist, shortened up the sleeves, and did an amazing job tapering the pants. What I really appreciated was how he looked at the fabric and checked to...

    First B&S Purchase. RLBL. How does it fit?

    Hello gents. Below is a suit I just purchased off the B&S section of this forum. It's my first purchase online and the first using self measurement and I think I did a pretty decent job. The suit is a RLBL in the Anthony cut...I'm just showing off the jacket. I'm wondering if, other than...

    Shoulder Width Question

    Thank you gents. This is actually my first purchase on the B&S and this will be my first fully canvassed suit. Very exciting for a young-ish guy who has made some rather, um, ill informed suit decisions in the past 18 months. I'm going to re-measure the original jacket and measure a few more...

    Shoulder Width Question

    That is the impression I was under as well, that the shoulders are something that can't really be changed as it may ruin the integrity of the garment. I guess what I'm wondering is, the difference of a half inch...how appreciable or noticeable will it be? I know some shoulders fit...

    Shoulder Width Question

    Hello gents, New to the forum but looooooooong time lurker. I just searched the last 10 minutes to see if a thread could help me before posting, so apologies if this has been answered before. Very interested in a smoking deal online but this is my first time purchasing a suit online without...

    Introduce yourself.

    Hello. This is my first post on SF, but I've been reading it for some time. In fact, I've been reading it much to my chagrin. Let me explain. I'm a 27 year old who has developed the hobby of wanting to dress well and wearing high quality clothing. Unfortunately, I was a slave to marketing...
