    Laundering Shirts

    Assuming they are cotton or linen, machine wash quick cycle, high spin, with warm water and a good quality detergent (pre-treat stains/problem areas). If they are white shirts, switch to hot water and add some sodium percarbonate. I see many people suggest cold water, however in my experience...

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    Regarding the navy blazer fabric, is there a reason navy cashmere isn't in the running? To me it has a richer cloudiness and is distinctly SC/blazer material. I understand it can be cost prohibitive and [maybe] lack durability, but is this the reason for it's omission?

    Washing & drycleaning question

    There is a misconception that a dry cleaner will treat your garments with better care than you would. If you care for them, hand wash individually in warm water with a gentle cleaner and gentle agitation. Spot treat if necessary. Monitor often. Dry naturally.

    Custom Suiting Toronto

    I last commissioned a suit through Harry Rosen about a decade ago, so things may have changed, but the service was a glorified M2M offering. They do offer good fabric selection, but the execution leaves much to be desired. If your plan is to commission multiple pieces and build a wardrobe, I...

    Custom Suiting Toronto

    I have seen my pattern, I've had muslin fittings, and basted fittings before final fittings. Isaac is the only one that has ever measured me and the only person I deal with when I go to his location. I have not witnessed him drafting a pattern or stitch himself. I know for the latter he has a...

    Custom Suiting Toronto

    Thank you. In terms of a house cut I'd say no. His client base led him to a very british cut, but as times and preferences progressed, he has adopted some Neapolitan characteristics. IMO this is one of the most compelling reasons to use his services - he has the knowledge and expertise to cut...

    Ticket Pocket--Yea or Nay

    I like them if you have a large drop from shoulder to waist - it can add visual interest to the waist so the drop doesn't appear so extreme.

    If anyone is interested in seeing some of Isaac Ely's work, I'd be happy to share. I've comissioned various pieces over the past couple of years.

    Pairing oxford shoes with chinos

    Even with the chunkiness of these oxfords, they still seem a bit too sleek relative to the rest of the outfit. Although I will admit this combo is less offensive than any of the chino/oxford combos I've seen on this thread. Definitely a SWD look rather than a CM look

    Pairing oxford shoes with chinos

    Makes me feel bad for DWW. The man offered his [educated] opinions, reasoning for his opinions, visual examples, and yet he was met with animosity because some viewed his opinions as personal attacks

    St. Crispin's Appreciation Thread

    While comfort, performance, and aesthetics are important, I believe it is equally important to consider rate of wear. I only have StC's with leather soles, but maybe members with multiple types of soles can comment on the relative rate of wear.
