    recommended "basic" wool twill trousers

    thanks, this is all good to know. I'm pretty sure my old brooks brothers pants ("gabardine twill") ones were regent fit, and that cut fits me quite well. Not really looking for MTO here. I've gotten good stuff from mytailor (Hemrajani) before but the item I'm looking for here is pretty basic...

    MyTailor Alternative

    I checked the price I paid on an order in 2014 and it was 1109 for the jacket. They are not that much more expensive than that today (at least from what I see on the website) especially when you consider the amount of inflation in the last couple of years. The main thing that looks different...

    Another cottonwork review

    I recently bought a number of shirts from cottonwork, so I thought I'd share my thoughts/experiences. First, I chose the site because it met the following criteria: (1) enormous range of choices of fabric (2) very good prices (3) reviews seemed favourable overall (4) the 3D model of the...

    Introduce yourself.

    Hi. After lurking for a while, I decided to create an account here. I recently turned 40 and decided that I want to dress like a grown up. No more suit jackets masquerading as blazers. No more ill fitting shirts or pants. So I'm reading and learning. My hobby in the immediate future will be in...
