    Why are notch lapels considered improper for tuxedos?

    I’ve read a number of posts here and articles elsewhere suggesting that peak or shawl lapels are the proper lapels for tuxedos. Why are notch lapels considered poor form? I’m considering purchasing a tux. But the guidance becomes conflicting when I see two iconic people, President Obama and...

    Snag in suit wool fabric

    Hi all, I noticed an extremely small “snag” on the back of my suit jacket (VBC fabric) after it came back from the dry cleaners. Perhaps it might be difficult to see what’s going on with the attached photos (hard to capture it), but is this something to be concerned about? Thank you! I’ll...

    Where to purchase classic horn and MOP buttons?

    I'm looking to purchase classic horn and MOP buttons to rejuvenate a few old suits and trousers. Navy and dark brown horn and rimless dark gray/slate MOP. Any suggestions for stores? I do see a few other threads--but those are years old, and I wanted to ask whether there are any new stores that...

    Recommendation for hand pressing in Chicago

    Hello everyone, these recommendation threads come up from time to time, but, since I have not seen any activity on this topic for Chicago in some time, may I ask for your advice? Who would you recommend to hand press a suit in Chicago? Perhaps a trusted dry cleaner or tailor? I don’t...

    Silk or polyester core/cotton: Thread type for sewing suit buttons

    I am planning to change the buttons on a few of my suits, from plastic ones to horn or corozo. My question is: what type of thread do folks who do this regularly recommend? I see that there are two common types: (1) silk twist or (2) polyester core with a cotton exterior. An example of the silk...

    What do you think of the length of these shirt sleeves?

    I have a new fitting shirt and was curious about what you all think of the length of the sleeves. To me, they feel a bit long? Perhaps I need to have the cuffs tightened a bit? (There are a few other issues that I am working to have corrected--but I am most curious about the sleeve length.)

    Bubbling on side of jacket

    I noticed some bubbling—or at least that’s my best description of this phenomenon—on one side of a jacket, right under the armhole. What would cause this? What is the fix for this? This is a half-canvas construction suit, made from VBC S100 wool, that is about 6 years old.

    Leffot in Chicago closed?

    Does anyone here have information on whether the Leffot store in Chicago, on Dearborn and Jackson, has closed? This morning, I went to the store to purchase some Boot Black cream, and saw only a "Closed" sign on the door. The display tables were also entirely barren. I am hoping they are simply...

    Gaziano & Girling fit question

    I'm looking to buy a pair of shoes on Gaziano & Girling's TG73 last. However, I don't have any G&G stockists near where I live, so it's infeasible to go try on a pair. Could I pick your collective brains on sizing? This is my current sizing information: Edward Green, 82 last, UK 7 E [7/7.5 E]...
