    What happened to Kilgour?

    I know it's a long way from being the classic bespoke tailor Kilgour, French & Stanbury, but in recent years Kilgour has still made some good RTW stuff. But their website has read "Sale Now One" (with the typo) for months, and their stock is almost nonexistent. What happened to the company?

    Seersucker--lined or unlined? Other details?

    I recently got an overwhelming urge for a red seersucker suit. (Red stripes on white, that is.) I thought Paul Stuart would have it, but it turns out they only have some faux seersucker thing, a silk-and-linen fabric with red and white stripes but without the crinkle. So I'm half thinking of...

    Metal toe taps?

    I usually have heel taps and toe taps put on my shoes; these are always plastic or rubber or whatever they use. Recently I had some refinishing work done on a pair of bespoke shoes--the toes were worn down, so they patched the front of the sole and added toe taps that turned out to be metal...

    First Chan suit received

    A while ago I had a measuring for my first Chan suit. I reported on it as part of this thread: Recent WWChan visit in NYC. At the time I described myself as being disappointed; I felt that Patrick really didn't understand what I was asking for and I was sufficiently concerned that I asked to...

    Ducker, in Oxford?

    I'm going to be in Oxford, England for a week or two, and was wondering if anyone knows how Ducker, the shoe makers, are holding up lately. I once got a pair of suede shoes from them that remain among my favorite pairs, though I recall that at the time, those were the only ones (or the only ones...

    It's crappy out--what shoes?

    In New York now, there's already a few inches of slushy snow on the ground, with more expected. Today I'm wearing a tweed suit and hiking boots. If I had a meeting or an event, I'd probably be wearing a slightly older pair of wingtips that I don't mind getting wet. What about you?

    Pressing badly creased ties

    I'm in the process of moving into a new apartment, and just unpacked some things that had been in storage for several months. I discovered that most of my ties were simply thrown into a box haphazardly and covered with other things, and now they are severely creased,well past the point of being...

    Two-button shirt collars

    I have several shirts with two-button collars. Typically these have two buttons spaced extremely close, aligned vertically on the collar band; one of them has the buttons in a slightly slanted alignment. My first such shirt was from Robert Talbott; then my wife got me an Armani like this (which...

    Semi-OT: Old Gucci (women's) boots

    About eight years ago, my wife bought a pair of Gucci motorcycle boots. There was nothing especially elaborate about them--just a few pieces of leather, a nice buckle, and solidly made, but no detailed stitching or fancy metalwork or whatever. But they fit perfectly, she's loved them since the...

    Height and depth of interior jacket pocket

    I've been wondering about this for a while, and now I'm wondering enough to want to discuss it. The first time I had a suit made on Savile Row, it came back with the interior jacket pocket very high--it felt a little uncomfortable, even. It was explained to me that that way, anything you put in...

    First Hemrajani suit--Comments?

    Well, my first suit from Hemrajani arrived. This was made after a measuring session only; I'm having a follow-up fitting next week. I've worn it a few times, and have various comments, but right now I'll hold off making them until I hear from you guys....

    If I could get away with it, I'd wear...

    There are many discussions here having the general form, "Is it OK to wear...?" However, these mostly revolve around relatively minor stylistic features or details--bow ties, ticket pockets, lapelled waistcoats, etc. I'm sure that many of you would really like to wear something else, something...

    Flashy socks

    I like very flashy socks. But it is just so hard to find good ones. The only company I know that ever comes through is Missoni, but they usually only have a few designs per season, and they sell out quickly. And they're $50 a pair. At most other places, the socks usually suck, for various...
