    Stiffness gone from shirt collar - any easy fixes?

    Most of my shirts were purchased 4-5 years ago from a custom tailor who had them made up in Hong Kong. The interlining in the collars on my favourites have gone floppy from use and laundering. They're so soft that my collar stiffeners manage to work themselves out of the collar points when I...

    Where to get durable replacement toggles for my duffle coat?

The coat fits me very well, but it wasn't very long before the polyurethane covered textile cords that secure the toggles began to crack and peel.

    Looking for horn or faux horn blazer buttons w/shanks.

    I've been trying to find horn or imitation horn blazer buttons but with no success. I'm looking for shank buttons with designs similar to traditional metal blazer buttons: nautical, figural, basketweave, etc., etc. I've done a lot of Googling but to no avail. Does anybody know of a source?

    Trouble with a Hatter - Ethical Considerations

    I find myself in a bit of a dilemma... I had a revered Ohio-based hatter re-block a very beaten brown trilby. The results were flawless with the exception of the placement of the bow of the ribbon hat band. The bow is placed an inch or so behind the centre of the side of the hat, to such an...

    At what point should one ask for a custom tailoring remake?

    I'm a long time reader but a brand new SF member. I recently bought a custom three piece suit from a reputable custom tailoring firm here in Northeastern Ohio. On the first fitting, several large adjustments were made and the unfinished sleeves and trousers were marked. On the second fitting it...
