    Who Makes Slim Fitting Tweed?

    I know it's halfway into summer, but I'm already thinking about fall tweed - I've always wanted some but my very thin frame means I'm swimming in anything by Harris. My budget doesn't allow for bespoke so I'm hoping some members might have ideas - I'm a 38R, about 6ft even and 140 pounds...

    Do you think this is a stylish watch? Danish Design

    If you like that look you might as well just get the standard Swiss Railways watch from Mondaine - it'll cost you less than half as much and I think it looks better proportioned from a design standpoint.

    Sal Bracco Watch Repair

    Has anyone out there used the services of Sal Bracco Watch Repair? He's on the Bowery near Canal - I've got a vintage Hamilton watch that needs a tune up and his name came up with a friend, but that's the only guy he knew, so thought I'd check here. Thanks -

    Perry Process / Alwyn & Curtis

    Hey All, Anyone know what happened to Perry Process in NYC? I walked by their 74th St. location yesterday and it was closed w/ a "for rent" sign in the window. A little research says they have another location at 1248 Lexington Ave., but there's another cleaners there named Alwyn & Curtis. I...

    Not Sold in the USA

    Ha, well, was thinking more on the clothes front - like socks from Gamarelli's in Rome or shoes at Corthay in Paris.

    Not Sold in the USA

    Hey All, I do a fair amount of international travel for work and am always on the lookout for stores and brands that aren't sold in the US to stock up before I get back on the plane. Living in NYC, there's not much to want for, but I know there are things I'm missing when I'm in Tokyo, Hong...

    The Limits of Tailoring

    Thanks, that's helpful insight on the armholes - what about the waist suppression though - my chest is only 38, so I can almost fit another person inside a 38 jacket and still button the coat - can they take most of that out? It seems like I need to speak with a few more tailors to see what...

    The Limits of Tailoring

    Hi All, I've been searching around the threads and haven't been able to find an answer to what seems like a basic question - what are the limits of tailoring? For suits, pants, and shirts. That is, can a tailor re-cut almost anything as long as it fits in key areas like the shoulders and is...

    Wash Luxe Dress Shirts?

    How do you wash you dress shirts? - if it's 100% cotton you should be able to throw it in the washer, right? I have the worst time trying to keep the collar from getting that dark ring from my neck. I used to work in a tuxedo store and all our rental shirts always came back looking dirty...

    Burberry outlets

    I feel like the Burberry outlet near me stocks some kind of cheap imitation of the real thing. I actually can't believe how crappy the store looks - it's like a GAP with a piles of unfolded, made in China crap with Nova check all over it. Do they make lower quality versions for their outlet...

    Who Taught You Style?

    I would say the biggest influence on me was a bunch of middle aged french and german men that i worked with. when I was in my realy twenties, I started wearing suits for work- I hadn't worn a tie since my bar mizva, and, at that point, my father hadn't really been in my life for a few years...

    Who Taught You Style?

    when I was still a very young engineer, I got a job with a top manager at the bank. He was the former CIO and was made Project's management VP, he took me as his assistant. He teached me how to dress and how to behave in upper management meetings in order to earn respect from the other high...

    Who Taught You Style?

    What was your epiphany moment with style? A Cary Grant movie, your grandfather's three piece suit, James Bond? My uncle had a whole closet full of Paul Stuart and a collection of vintage cufflinks - his clothes always fit like a movie star's and having grown up in the suburbs, he had an...

    Streetwear Essentials?

    Alright well obviously bandannas and fedora hats are for a certain kind of person, that is, not me. What I'm trying to get at though is where you draw the line between interesting and ridiculous when it comes to a style that prides itself on brightly colored sneakers, bold graphic tees and etc...

    Corpus or Nudie for Selvage Jeans?

    Ack, I was looking at the raw ones instead of the selvage ones below - I am an idiot. In any case, sounds like Nudie is the way to go - thanks all.

    Corpus or Nudie for Selvage Jeans?

    I want to buy a pair of selvage jeans - do I buy this pair of Corpus or the Nudie? I think I like the black a bit better and was trying to find some APC, but they all look pretty tight, even for a skinny lanky dude like me. http://www.contextclothing.com/brand...ry_selvage.php...

    Streetwear Essentials?

    Thinking about adding streetwear to my style - I like the brighter colors and casual / dressy look. I feel like this guy Devon Griffith and Massive Revolution are on the scene, but purple bandanas and a fedora? I'm not sure I can pull it off. Most people I see on the street in New York are doing...

    Similar boots but better quality? (link)

    Haha - I had a biology teacher in high school that wore these - he said gay elves from Ireland made them. Now I found out they're Clark's? Say it isn't so!

    Hoodies and track jackets under blazers?

    That looks terrible - is that guy cold or something? I say one or the other but not both, it looks like someone trying too hard to me.
