The StyleForum Working Hierarchical Suit Quality List (SFWHSQL!)
You're right on PS. Sorry I meant London is half canvassed, PS is fused and mainline (MIJ) is full canvas. For Prada, they may change it now. Last I seen it was three or so years ago.- JTA

Poor man's watch thread
IMHO for minimalist type of watch, you can't go wrong with the Riki Watanabe (one of the best value watches under $250, again in my personal view) or pilot homage watch (prefer the hand winding one).- JTA

Boglioli sizing inquiry (size up required?)
The best way is to ask for the actual measurements if you can or even better is to try them in person. I found generally Boglioli K sizing is the same as other brands with drop 7 however with shorter length even for their (Boglioli) regular length. I realise you wear L length thus not sure...- JTA

Poor man's watch thread
You can consider Seagull 1963. Think the watch (may) ticks all the parameters above except (1).. it's lower.. It is my daily beater watch (replaced the strap with leather strap) now. Trust me, this watch is a beauty and has garnered many compliments.- JTA

Australian Members
That's my understanding as well. I thought at first it's the correlation between the jacket and the trousers however I started to doubt that after seeing sportscoat with drop. Drop is the jacket shoulder and jacket waist proportion, the bigger the drop the more aggressive the cut (i.e...- JTA

The Hong Kong Tailors Thread
Make sure to email them first before going there hence they can slot their time for you. To me four days would be the minimal. I would not recommend any less than that. At the very least on the first day they can do the measurements then do the first fitting on the second day and the...- JTA

I believe JLC quality is in the same realm alongside PP, VC and AP; though in terms of exclusivity PP may be on the top of the pantheon.- JTA

Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures
256 vs 257 Alternate use of 257 257 images The 256 will fit you. 256 is good for commuting. Use 257 if you're traveling or carrying more items than that. However if you want some extra space to carry some unexpected things, then 257 may be better.- JTA

Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread
Great choice. I've commissioned sportscoat in dark purple linen fabric [from Japan (LINNET)] and have been very pleased with the results. Versatile yet classy and offered something different than standard navy, brown, green or grey colors..- JTA

WH and Taylor & Reid are good. I still have unfunded liabilities from both (to be made) yet have been very pleased with the quality. No experience with John Foster.- JTA

Poor man's watch thread
For the above $1,000 price bracket I'll consider Sinn also if I were you. Nevertheless between those four (Hamilton/Stowa/Junghans or Nomos) and if money isn't an issue for you, personally I would go with Nomos.- JTA

Fabric suggestions for the hot
I worked in Sydney in my previous life and working in SE Asia now. Generally Stiva was right except I found that in OZ where the weather tends to be dry, I can wear my tropical weight / fresco buggy lined suit for most of summer days without drenched in sweat. Nevertheless, in a humid climate...- JTA
