    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Hi all, any comments to the fit would be appreciated. The dropped right shoulder will be dealt with. Button stance will also be lowered by 1/2" so will the waistcoat.

    Hi all, is the button stance okay? Or is it too high?

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    Width of both lasts are similar with Olfe being slightly narrower, if any. Olfe is definitely longer though.

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

     Not to confuse you but I wear a half size smaller for Capital compare to Hiro. All depends on your feet I guess.

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    You may check out the prices (only a few models but you can gauge) at their website - http://www.meermin.jp/. Classic line seems to be JPY38,000 and LM at JPY53,000 - significantly more than the prices online. Not sure about the taxes in the US though. Was there in November. They have very...

    **The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**

    I suspect that the shoes may be a slightly too long. The crease on the right shoe is 'digging' onto my big toe. Below are pictures after half a day and a full day (same day) respectively. As can be seen in the second picture, the crease on the right shoe is deeper that the left shoe. Any other...

    Thanks for the replies. I shall try with Renovateur. On another note, I just received a pair of shoes. Are they too long for my feet? Width and instep are perfect.

    How do you remove the layer of wax (on the toes and heels of course :D)? Cutex?

    How would one condition shoes that have been mirror shined? I suppose the conditioner won't be able to penetrate the layer of wax. Strip everything and start all over?

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    Guys, sorry for posing yet another question. After having opted for Loake's Pimlico for the chukka, I'm now looking at getting a double monk particularly Carmina's in Inca last (331 euro shipped) and Meermin's Linea Maestro in Olfe (250 euro shipped). Is the 80 euro worth the upgrade? The Inca...

    Thanks for the input. Do you have any experience with Loake's suede? Thanks but do you mind elaborating? I've started a new thread so as to not veer off this thread (http://www.styleforum.net/t/443855/suede-chukka-boots-loake-vs-meermin).

    Suede Chukka Boots (Loake vs Meermin)

    Hi guys, I'm currently looking for a suede chukka within the price range of Loake and Meermin. Am looking at the Loake Pimlico and Meermin's equivalent offering. Which is the better one in terms of quality? Would also appreciate if there are suggestions on other brands. Thanks.

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    Hi guys, Just a quick question. I'm looking at getting a suede chukka boot. Between Loake's Pimlico and Meermin's offering, which do you guys think is better in terms of quality? Any other suggestions within that price range?

    Thanks everyone for the input. What is the bare minimum to be lengthened for this jacket?
  17. jimmycth

    Ask A Question, Get An Answer... - Post All Quick Questions Here (Classic menswear)

     It is bespoke and I'm (extremely) short. About 163cm. Hence I opted for a shorter length hoping that it'll increase the perceived height. If you can't tell that I'm short from the picture, I'm guessing that it is working? It's a two button. Given the new information, how low will you...

    What do you guys think about the button placement (judging by the chest opening). Too high?

    Button placement on a two button single breasted jacket

    Hi all, just wanted to seek some opinion on the placement of button (judging by the chest opening). Is the button placement too high in this jacket?

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

     That's the listing that had me wondering the composition. I contacted Huddersfield Cloth awhile back asking about the composition of the cloth I bought and was told 80% wool and 20% mohair. They aren't that honest eh?
