    Which jeans fit this description?

    Between the time I was in 5th grade and until I was out of college, I wore jeans and only jeans day to day. To give some perspective, I graduated college in 1991. Back in elementary school I was a Wranglers kid, but at some point in Jr. High I switch to Levis. Back the oprions for me were...

    Corneliani MTM + Corneliani MTM vs. Ercole

    Corneliani MTM been mentioned in the past (including in comparisons with RLBL MTM), has anyone actually taken the plunge? Also, rather than comparing Corneliani MTM to RLBL MTM, I would be interested in a comparison of Corneliani MTM to Ercole in Brooklyn. Based on previous threads and...

    Balmorals with odd jacket?

    Another shoe question. Are balmorals (more specifically; black, wing-tip, with some broughing"”as on the following) too formal to be worn with anything but a suit? Can they work with a suit sans tie, or with an odd jacket, how about cords and jacket, on the far end of the spectum I would...

    Tan Shoes or...no tan?

    I'm considering a couple of AE shoe options. The same model in tan and/or brown. My wife thinks the tan is "a lot of shoe", meaning she thinks it may be a bit loud, I tend to disagree. Opinions? There is also the question of what goes with a tan shoe? I would think they would work well dressed...

    Indian HK tailor shootout

    (crosspost from AAAC"”perhaps it will do better here) In the world of lower cost options (about $1500 for 3 suites in super 90s and $1599 for Super 100s ) for custom tailored clothing there are the Indian HK tailors. Some are US based, some HK based and all do their tailoring in HK. I know...

    Those stores that are going out of business forever

    In NYC we see them all the time, those stores with a window covered in white paper with large red letters saying something like, "Going out of Business," or "Lost our Lease," and "Everything must go," inevitably followed by some huge discount or offer, like, "Top makers, Kiton, Brioni, Zegna, up...

    Second Interview and no other suit in my closet!

    I'm looking for suggestions and opinions. I have a second interview next week (actually third, since I had two in a row yesterday). Since I do not have to wear suits for work and I am just starting to rebuild my wardrobe, I am caught short. I have: one winter suit that is staying in the closet...

    Tailor to clone my fav trousers

    My favorite odd trousers (and my wifes too) is (is? are? it's one pair, but....) a pair of Paul Smiths, a little low in the rise, a little slim in the leg and made from a super tough cotton fabric. They are starting to show their age, mostly through the discoloration in spots from wear. I'd...

    Correct cuff length on shirts and jacket?

    I am never sure if the cuff length on my shirts or jackets are correct and it is driving me nuts. I know my size, but that does not seem to help. What is the point on the arm, wrist or hand where a shirt cuff and end of a jacket sleeve should fall to get a 1/2" of shirt sleeve showing and not...

    What is with Lighter Brown Shoes and Navy lately?

    I am seeing this more and more. Light brown shoes (from almost bone tan to chestnut, sometimes with a bit more orange) and navy suits. For example: These Or these (I know it's John Lobb, but...) Another example Or even these very light ones (the secong from right"”I saw an example of...

    Would you add working cuffs to a RTW suit?

    This weekend I picked up a Zegnaat a good price along with an OK no-name suit with decent details, al. bet fused (my skills at detecting fused vs. canvased are still being developed"”but, in my defense, the tailor was not absolutely sure until he opened the jacket up). My question is, do you...
