    best pumpkin ale?

    Great Lakes Brewery makes a pumpkin ale that we started serving at the restaurant I work at. It's light. Made with pumpkin and pumpkin spices. Has a great nose full of all-spice, clove, cinnamon. Just like pumpkin pie. Good label with a big jack o'lantern in the front for the holidays. We...

    Good tailors in Toronto?

    Back when I didn't know any better and left a lot of the choices to the tailors whom I brought clothes in to alter, I had 3 or 4 trousers hemmed at Stitch It, based on the recommendation of some saleswoman at Club Monaco just down the street on Bloor. Granted, I didn't know any better and so...

    Engineered Garments Fall/Winter 07

    God dammit. They ordered everything else in an XS but these. Unless they were bought up ridiculously fast. Called Hejfina a few days ago to inquire about the availability of the XS. The lady on the phone told me that they only got a run of S, M, and L as it was an order that they had placed...

    Good value fabrics for suits?

    Thanks for the info, Norcal and Sator. One last question slightly touched upon in Sator's last post: Does the way a wool is woven (i.e. the aforementioned open weaves) affect the way the fabric is draped? It sounds like from Sator's post that the only thing that affects drape is the Super...

    Good value fabrics for suits?

    Do lower super numbers also indicate a more insulated garment? Working in the restaurant industry, I often am required to wear a suit where durability is important but breathability is paramount. In the middle of service there is nothing worse than running around bringing people food and...

    Socks for the small footed

    Having become excited after looking at Alexander Kabbaz's new Pantherella offerings, I disappointedly noticed that most of the socks fit a range of shoe size starting with 9. Most socks I've had experience with also give a range, most starting with size 8 but nothing ever any lower. In the...

    Tom Ford Store, Collection & WaPo Article: SF-Style Men's Wear Focus

    The suits, made by Italy's Ermenegildo Zegna in a licensing agreement, he was dressed in one of his own charcoal-gray two-button suits with single vent and matching vest. The website has a countdown that goes until tomorrow when I assume we'll be able to see pictures. I guess we should reserve...

    Belt for edwardian.

    Reviving this thread to see if anyone has had any experience with EG belts? In particular, what kind of buckle do they use? Having a ***** of a time finding beltmakers who use leathers that have the same level of antiquing as some of the shoes we are all so fond of. On that note, JL had a few...

    A visit to John Lobb in Northampton

    Rest assured I haven't blown you guys off. I wouldn't let the feelings of a few ruin it for all of you guys. Work keeps me busy, particularly on the weekends so I probably won't have the EG installment ready until next week as it is a photo-heavy one. However, until then, I can offer you a small...

    A visit to John Lobb in Northampton

    For what it's worth, my intention in taking these photos was never to take advantage of hospitality offered. The rooms that you see are adjacent to each other. When I was let into the building by one of their middle-aged Japanese workers, the shop was still closed and so they led me into the...

    A visit to John Lobb in Northampton

    To answer a few people's questions: I e-mailed Tony with a request to visit his main "factory" (in quotes because it really is just his home) of operations when I knew that I would be visiting Northampton. He actually lives in Kettering which is about a 15-20 minute drive. He mentioned that it...

    A visit to John Lobb in Northampton

    I wanted to thank everyone for all the knowledge I've gained from having been a long-time lurker on the forum. I recently took a vacation to London to visit some friends and family and decided, as a direct result of reading posts here, to take a day trip to Northampton (February 23, 2007). I...

    Men's Skin Care Products

    they're not specifically targeted for men, although i think they might have a men's line that i don't use, but my skin has never been better than when i was using l'occitane products (the immortelle line in particular). of course, that was when it was more combination/oily and so the lighter...

    Zegna MTM

    Thanks for all the advice. I never wanted a ticket pocket or peak lapels to begin with, but I was using those as examples of some customization options that I was never presented which could have indicated many more that weren't given to me that I still am not aware of. I can understand why more...

    restaurant recs for toronto?

    Sounds like you're looking for something romantic but not too formal. I can't give you the best advice regarding ambience--I think everyone has their own idea of what's suitably romantic, but I can talk a bit about food. I'd say good value for some awesome food right now can be had at: Niagara...

    Zegna MTM

    Am fairly new to the forum and have been lurking and reading like a fiend. You guys are seriously great and I'm learning a ton. Went in the other week to get measured for a Zegna MTM 3-piece charcoal pinstripe at Harry Rosen (I'm in Toronto). Having no experience in MTM and only a very basic...
