    Zegna Labels ID's for eBay purchasers (Graphic Intensive)

    I'm looking at an older Zegna suit that I suspect is early-mid 2000s, but it doesn't look dated to me (maybe I'm just clueless). Anyway, it's Trofeo, and the letter rating's a 'K.' Does anyone know what that's equivalent to on the "Super 1xxs" scale?

    Is this damage on my suit jacket arm fixable? If so, how? (Not sure how it happened.)

    Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?

    Just bought my first leather jacket. Golden Bear vintage (eBay). Bargained down to $250. Thoughts?

    What is the quintessential men's navy blue blazer?

    Not anything I had encountered in a J Press coat, then again, I rarely buy online. I checked the pockets and did indeed find the buttons. Perhaps I was put off by the icky feel of the jacket, which made me toss it back in its packaging box after only a few minutes (before I thought to check...

    What is the quintessential men's navy blue blazer?

    I ordered the J. Press trim fit, and I do not recommend it to anyone. Not worth the money---very thin and "cheap" feeling (after all it was the cheapest option I could find). And mine came only partially manufactured! (See pictures.) An outrage that they had initially insisted I pay return...

    The Home Ownership Thread

    It was assessed at $225,000 in '16. No chance it gets internet (at least until Starlink, which is news to me, gets into the arctic)---regular satellite is the only option!

    The Home Ownership Thread

    Thinking of selling a remote cabin with sauna and guest house, only accessible by sea / ski plane, but thought I'd get feedback from SF first (and test the waters a bit). Anyone know whether the market for vacation properties is as hot as everything else?

    What is the quintessential men's navy blue blazer?

    Hi all, I assume the two top candidates are J. Press and Brooks Brothers. But let me know if I'm wrong! In choosing between the J. Press navy (three button) blazer, the Brooks Brothers 1818 Madison blue blazer, and the Brooks Brothers Regent blue blazer, which would you choose and why? Cost...

    Fake or Real (Authentic, Genuine, etc.) -- Official Authentication Thread

    Thanks, Keith. That's good to know! On closer inspection I see that the there's a small belt buckle loop just above the zipper, which would be an odd touch for a knock off suit.

    Fake or Real (Authentic, Genuine, etc.) -- Official Authentication Thread

    Appears to be an identical label to the first picture but with different stitching, which is what concerned me. Sorry about poor pic quality; entirely my fault (zoomed in). Should I be concerned that there’s no classic V-pattern stitching? Here’s another pic.

    Fake or Real (Authentic, Genuine, etc.) -- Official Authentication Thread

    Found online. Wondering whether it’s a real Martin Greenfield Brooks Brothers Golden Fleece (as advertised). I’ve never seen an interior label quite like it on a BB.

    Quality of Hickey Freeman suit? (Pics inside)

    Thanks! Can you tell what line it is? I don’t really care much about whether double pleats are in or not, so I’m happy to take the bargain. But is it good construction, do you know?

    Quality of Hickey Freeman suit? (Pics inside)

    Is this $75 eBay find too good to be true? Isn’t HF notoriously difficult to read unless you get into their numbering system by calling ‘em up? I haven’t done that just yet. What can you tell me about it? There’s no model number, instead it just says Hickey Freeman. Label stitching is V-pattern...

    I just bought this Zegna (for Richards, made in Italy) suit. I paid $198. A steal, fair price, or ripoff? I’m curious how much you might pay for it, given what you see in pictures. Fully canvassed, I’m told, 100% Lana wool. Let me know what you think.

    Do any BigLaw mid-level/seniors or partners post here?

    Hi all, I'm a lawyer looking to pick the brain of someone who has been or was in "BigLaw" for a few years. I'm trying to network into a job, and I've made a good connection, but I'm not sure how to see it through.
