    Why do my shirts crumple right below the collar?

    See pic. I oftentimes get this problem with dress shirts that I wear. Regardless of ironing/pressing, I can’t get a nice flat shirt surface right below the collar. Is this indicative of a too-wide chest on the shirt? Something else? (Don’t mind the somewhat crumpled tie as well, that’s a...

    Why are shirt bottoms longer in the front and back and not straight the whole way around?

    I'm getting custom shirts made and this is an option (rounded vs. straight across). In looking at shirts, I imagine this is done for a bit more mobility (higher on the hips means the legs can move more freely, in theory.) Is this the reason? Might not need clarification in this forum, but these...

    Do clamping pant hangers cause stretching?

    Clamping pant hangers- is there any risk of these causing pants to stretch over time? The thought of hanging pants upside down and getting extremely straight, wrinkle-free looks is very, very appealing! But would gravity have a deleterious effect over time and cause lengthening/stretching? Have...

    Where to get extremely basic white button up shirts?

    Spread just doesn't look good with many of my vintage outfits, most of which go from 30s to 50s. Yes, I could go MTM, but for time and cost I was hoping to just pick something up off the rack.

    Where to get extremely basic white button up shirts?

    Nope. Went to both. Everything was spread collar. Everything. (Well, even if it wasn't, it was some super thin synthetic material that looked awful. Not standard white cotton or at least a close blend.

    Where to get extremely basic white button up shirts?

    CT were my previous go-tos. But even their most fitted shirts crumple and fold all over. Re: J Crew, hah, a single shirt on that site has a point collar. I'll go check them out, but I'm skeptical. Looking at their site shows one exactly what I mean :\.

    Where to get extremely basic white button up shirts?

    Southern California. Here is the sort of collar I mean. Maybe even a bit narrower (and yes, I'm looking at JAB as an option, albeit online)...

    Where to get extremely basic white button up shirts?

    Standard white button up shirts: I cannot believe how difficult it has become to find new, bog standard white button up shirts with a regular collar. I'm not looking for spear point, vintage, or anything fancy, just a base to wear everything vintage and non- atop. Every. Single. Store I go to...

    Help me find open pant hangers of a proper material?

    Easily. I’m a performer, dancer, and vintage collector. My WWII uniforms alone constitute about 20 pairs. Vintage trousers another 20-30. And I’m not stopping anytime soon!

    Help me find open pant hangers of a proper material?

    (Bumped because I believe original was up right around when the site went down for upgrades, and as I didn't get a workable answer, was hoping now that all is humming along I might get more feedback...) Thanks you so much, all!

    Help me find open pant hangers of a proper material?

    Good stuff. I’ll need about 50 though so it’s still searching for me…

    Help me find open pant hangers of a proper material?

    Wow. Be careful what you wish for! You, sir, have offered exactly what I’m after. But at ~$40/hanger after conversion and post, I’ll need to slim down my wardrobe to fit in the poor house I’d find myself in :). I really appreciate the link but I need something more realistic for my budget (< $5...

    Help me find open pant hangers of a proper material?

    I really want to get this style of pant hanger: https://www.amazon.com/ZOBER-Slack-Trousers-Pants-Hangers/dp/B01N9PZ5CK/ The issue I'm encountering is that the only options I've found thus far for the material that touches the pants are: - Cheap rubber/vinyl. Issue: do not trust my...

    Help me decipher all the fastening parts of a traditional bib evening shirt?

    (Lower fastening parts, that is.) I have my first proper bib evening shirt and I couldn't be happier (I ended up going with La Valiere, sold through Barker Collars (and New & Lingwood for a substantial markup :),) for those who followed my earlier posts on the subject. The thing is, both for...

    Are there gold standard steamers, floor-standing and handheld?

    I don't want to buy cheap. I'm willing to spend on one of those built like a tank (ideally in the US), have it for life-type products. In each category, is there some de facto winner that everyone agrees is the Rolls Royce? To be fair though, I probably won't want to buy the absolute top of the...

    Hangers!

    Update: I think the Skolyx ones, both the suit and shirt variety, in cedar look like an amazing bargain and my way to go! My only mild concern is the trouser bar on these: https://www.skolyx.se/en/clothing-care/5-hanger-in-cedar-wood.html?SubmitCurrency=1&id_currency=5 I can't imagine those...

    Hangers round 2- pants over a bar or a clamp hanger?

    This is one of those things where I assume there's no difference, but then I question why the latter option even exists... Draping pants over a simple bar is as old as time. But then there are many pant-specific hangers I've seen that use a wide soft-material-covered clamp to hold them...

    Hangers!

    Thank you. Do you mind if I ask what you like about that brand?

    Hangers!

    Kirby Allison was recommended to me elsewhere. I know I'm contradicting myself, but perhaps gold standard was a hair too rich for my blood :). Maybe silver standard will do :). (I just can't spend $20-$35 on a single hanger.) Perhaps something like this brand instead...

    Hangers!

    Perhaps a very banal question, but- is there some gold standard hanger brand or type you recommend, in this case for men’s suits? The IKEA wooden ones are too rough, so I was just going to hop on Amazon and buy some polished ones, but then I read the polish could be bad for clothes. I figured...
