Shipley Quality Tailored
gj - Thanks for your insight. It arrived in the mail today and I've already dropped it off at the dry cleaner - although it really does appear to be NOS, it was somewhat musty. From memory, I'm pretty sure it wasn't full canvassed. I think I tried just once to lift up the chest fabric and it...- Old School

Shipley Quality Tailored
Hello All - I recently won on Ebay a vintage three-piece suit that appears custom or at the least MTM. One label says "Shipley Quality Tailored - 100% wool/laine - CA01103" The other label reads ""Custom Tailored Exclusively by Zimmers North End Tailors, Winnipeg" Internet searches only...- Old School

eBayer seller warning: Prayerwarrior02
My experience has been exactly the same. My "custom cashmere sport jacket" was hardly custom, but private labeled for Morville, a Philadelphia area men's shop that must have gone out of business twenty-five years ago. The lining of my "mint" jacket was coming undone in at least five places and...- Old School

Ultra Light Weight Top Coat
I need an ultra light weight top coat. Something thin, just to thow over a suit on a cool day. I'd like to purchase it on eBay, but it's very hard to judge fabric weight from the information in the listings. I know to stay away from camel hair and loden. Can anyone give me advice regarding...- Old School

When Is A Regular A Long?
With respect to a size 40 suit, what is the average length from top of collar to the bottom of the hem of a regular length suit? How does that compare to a long? Should length be measured from the top of the collar or from the bottom of the collar. Also, in relation to one's knuckles, where...- Old School

Oxxford Suit Sizing
Do Oxxford suits and sport jackets run true to size in the shoulders? I ask because I've been looking at a number of items on Ebay and the shoulder measurements run the gamut. My off-the-rack suits are all 39R with shoulder measurements averaging approximately 19". Conversely, Ebay...- Old School

Resoling your shoes
I'm sorry, but you compare apples with pears. Fritzl - Absolutely, comparing EGs to A/Es is like comparing apples with pears. I would never suggest destroying a pair of high end shoes by resoling them with Vibram soles. This is really an option for salvaging A/E and Alden non-cordovan shoes. I...- Old School

Resoling your shoes
For the most part, I wear A/E shoes. Invariably I am disappointed with both heels and LEATHER soles replaced by my local cobblers. I would consider returning my shoes to A/E for repairs, but at $90.00, it makes more sense for me to just buy new A/E shoes on eBay. So, when my leather soles...- Old School

AE McAllister Last?
I have a pair of McAllisters and I think that the width runs true but the length is about a half size long. I have a 10.5B and I think it would fit someone who typically wears a size 11B. I hasten to add that while I believe that my posting is accurate, I am somewhat at a loss to explain why...- Old School
