    The lining in a DB jacket

    Hi Gents, I'm considering getting a DB suit at some point in the future. My question is are they always fully lined or can they be made half-lined or even quarter-lined? I'm asking because I think a fully lined DB jacket would be really hot in the summer, especially if made in a darker navy...

    Leg width good?

    Hi Styleforum, I think I've reached a good fit for chinos by ordering trial pants from Luxire. I'm now looking to order wool pants, flannels and linen (all with 1.5-2" cuffs) and was wondering if the leg width is good or if I should increase it further. What are your thoughts? Pictures:

    Shoe fitting question

    Hi styleforum, I just received a pair of cap toe oxfords in a last I've never tried before. I think the fit is just right length and width wise but I am a bit worried about the upper vamp area. When I walk my feet are slightly rubbing against the vamp right above the cap toe. Is this what is...

    Chelsea boots fit

    Hello, I just got my first pair of Chelsea boots. If I use a shoe horn I can get my foot in without too much trouble but if I don't have a shoe horn it is very difficult/tight to get my foot in. My question is, are you supposed to use a shoe horn when putting on elastic shoes such as chelsea...

    Sports coat fit, keep or return?

    Hi, I tried on this sport coat in my usual size but I think the fit is bad in the sides, is the rumpling caused by the chest being too wide or what's going on? The arms are also a bit too long. Shoulders seem fine to me and the lapels lay flat but I am not satisfied with the way it rumples...

    Peacoat fit advice

    Hi! Today I received a peacoat in two sizes, which one fits me best in your opinion? Right one is one size bigger. As you can see I'm wearing a shirt and a thin wool crew neck beneath. I don't intend to wear anything bulkier beneath. I think sleeve length is better in the smaller fit otherwise...
