    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Hello Isolation, I hope you're well on the other side of the world. I thought it might make you feel better to know that you're not alone and I've been having the same thoughts about my own trousers. So I'm going to suggest that you pause for a moment before you rush off for very, very minor...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    I feel that you're standing too close to the mirror so, for me anyway, it's difficult to get the overall perspective. I'm sure it's not the case but initially it gives the impression of really sloping shoulders. If you were to stand further back, I'm sure that illusion would disappear. I know...

    Need help picking first decent pair of shoes

    I'd say you're pretty spot on with what you've researched. But I'll have to leave it to the others to guide you on the brands to consider. I've never come across a store in Sydney that stocks Aldens or Allen Edmonds; although they seem to get a lot of favour stateside. But I can recall a lot...

    Light Grey Work Suit?

    I reckon you can't really go wrong with gray and there are so many shades to choose from. It boils down to preference I guess, and whatever you like is probably OK. I tend to stick in the mid to dark range myself because (and I can't really explain why) I find lighter shades of gray a little...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Hi Blister, thanks for posting. I presume that you're asking because you have that little nagging doubt about whether it really fits well. It may make you feel better to know that you're not alone in that feeling - it's quite normal to review your fit hypercritically and magnify even the...

    WAYWRN: Classic Menswear, Casual Style

    Have to tell you I really like that, AAS. That tan jacket is marvelous and combines nicely with the dark pants. And then that wonderful blue (blue-gray?) waistcoat finishes it off nicely so that the overall effect is perfect to my eyes.

    LOAKE APPRECIATION THREAD

    Thanks for your help, Munky. Kiwi is readily available in Australia so I'll have a look-see. Funnily enough, Kiwi is an Australian company - due acknowledgement and thanks to Wikipedia for this information Kiwi is the brand name of a shoe polish, first launched and sold in Australia[1]...
