Midnight Grosgrain Silk Fabric, need help tracking down a supplier
Hmm, says "Navy"... perhaps they have swatches available for tailors so it can be compared to the 8810 Smith & Woollen fabric to see if it'll be a good color match. Thank you for that link Regards, Mike- Moustache Mike

Midnight Grosgrain Silk Fabric, need help tracking down a supplier
Hello, Title pretty much says it all, I'm trying to track down some Midnight Blue Grosgrain fabric. My tailor is also calling around to different fabric suppliers as well, but I don't like to leave things to chance so I'm searching as well. So far I'm batting zero so I figured that perhaps...- Moustache Mike

MTO vs MTM Tuxedo
8810 is NOT in the new Smith Woollen Formal Book that WW Chan recently replaced their older book with, that is the reason why it was not suggested. They are checking to see if the 8810 is still being made, and if they can order it. The next hurdle is seeing if a source for Midnight Grosgrain...- Moustache Mike

MTO vs MTM Tuxedo
I have a Jack Victor suit made from Super 100's wool, the fabric and its weave have a very rough texture is there is nothing soft about it. I don't want a 200's super silky fabric, something that has body and drapes well, as well as holding a crease is important to me... I just don't want my...- Moustache Mike

MTO vs MTM Tuxedo
I asked for Smith Woollen 8810 over the phone... Patrick said he would send me photo's with details about several different fabrics that are alot like the one I mentioned. Even though I asked for 8810 I was not given that option for ordering. I cannot find any information about Smith Woollen...- Moustache Mike

MTO vs MTM Tuxedo
Contacted WW Chan and said that I wanted the 8810 or something comparable in terms of quality and appearance. The following fabrics were suggested to me, however I have no way of figuring out the wool thickness (Super 100's, 130's, 150's, etc..). I want something nicer than a Super 100's wool...- Moustache Mike

MTO vs MTM Tuxedo
I know that the mohair blend seems to be the popular choice, but what about going with barathea wool in midnight blue? I believe the tuxedo used by Pierce Brosnan in "T.N.D" was midnight Barathea wool with midnight grosgrain lapel facings (and midnight grosgrain bowtie), and it appeared to look...- Moustache Mike

How to wear anti-persperant+deodorant with cologne?
I use this: http://www.oldspice.com/en-US/products/product/6/old-spice-classic-antiperspirant-original-stick/ Blends perfectly with Old Spice "Classic Scent" cologne (or "classic scent" aftershave), also seems to go perfect well with Banana Republic's "Slate" cologne. Other colognes in my...- Moustache Mike

MTO vs MTM Tuxedo
Wow, if not for your bow-tie I'd have assumed the tux was black. Between your descriptions and the photo, I'd say that the 8810 Midnight Blue looks perfect ! I don't mind if the garment isn't completed before I leave so long as all necessary fittings and adjustments are completed in time...- Moustache Mike

MTO vs MTM Tuxedo
I was under the impression that no two midnight blues or blacks look exactly the same, due to subtle differences in fabric from what mill to the next amongst other factors. Midnight blue is what I'm interested in, but I've seen a lot of midnight blue's that I don't like due to them not being...- Moustache Mike

MTO vs MTM Tuxedo
Canali fits me the same as ALL other brands, poorly... I've got an athletic/muscular build, combined with being barrel chested having abnormally long arms for my height, nothing fits well. All single and two button jackets end up with a weird fabric "bump" in the lapels that stick out away from...- Moustache Mike

MTO vs MTM Tuxedo
Thank you Ski & Foo for breaking down the difference between MTM & MTO for me, I think they reason I had trouble with the Canali rep was due to language barrier issues. Moloch: I'm not redeploying in Aug, I'm using up my remaining R&R balance for a destination wedding and honeymoon. I know...- Moustache Mike

MTO vs MTM Tuxedo
RTW doesn't work for me at all due to having a 45" chest and a 33" waist line, plus I have long arms which require a "long" length jacket. But then the jacket always ends up being too long and I also normally end up with this weird bunching of fabric at the lapels (not sure if the two issues...- Moustache Mike

Hmm... Seems I'm really in a pickle then. I have 15days in April where I will be vacationing in South-east Asia, then it's back to work in Afghanistan. Then in August I will be arriving at my destination wedding with only five days before the wedding for any alterations that may need to be...- Moustache Mike

MTO vs MTM Tuxedo
Hello gentlemen, I was wondering if I could get your keen insight and opinions regarding the best avenue of approach. I have a 17day vacation (2 days travel, 15 actual v-days) coming up during which time I will have the option to choose either a MTO tuxedo, or a MTM tuxedo from Canali. I have...- Moustache Mike
