    Moved to Northern Virginia, Recs for tailor?

    I heard about Fields and called for prices....all I can say is Holy Crap he's expensive. I wanted to get a sportcoat tailored and he wanted $60 to shorten sleeves and $20 per button. It would have run me $220 before he even touched the body of the jacket. I have had good luck taking some pieces...

    Department Store Tailors - Saks or NM

    I have worked in high-end mens stores, and there are some good tailors in house. The problem is the volume of work they have to complete. They are expected to run around the store all day and take quick measurements, while at the same time tailor garments. They are under serious time constraints...

    Isaia vs Oxxford

    If your in the DC area, almost all of the SAKS off fifth outlets have had ISAIA suits. Most are navy solids or navy pinstripe. I think they are running about $1100 per suit. Also, Saks Chevy is still having their sale. As of a few days ago they had some nice suits available at about 70% off.

    The age limit for this jacket is....

    I recognize that coat as Loro Piana. I have one that's very similar. I'm 32 and my wife hasn't commented one way or the other on it. As a whole Loro Piana doesn't seem to target a younger buyer.

    Golf Apparel Question

    Look into Dunning golf wear. Guys like Zach Johnson are wearing it on tour. These garments have more of a tailored look and they do offer made to measure pieces. They also have some of the best fabrics, but they are pricey. I spoke to their rep a few months back and they will be in a lot more...

    until this evening. Anybody see this. Medium grey sportcoat with dark trousers tonight. A very different change for him which I kinda like.

    Is Saks 5th Ave better than Neiman Marcus?

    I hate the fact that Neimans puts a special label on their clothing; i.e. Borrelli for NM and they charge more for it than the same shirt at Saks. They may have more exclusive stuff, but I will 9 times out of 10 shop Saks because of the price difference.

    Fit of Costco shoe trees

    I use the Costco trees in my 10.5's and they are just barely long enough to do the job, although the high vamp helps a lot. I'd say their sweet spot is a 9.5-10. Exactly. I am a 10.5 and they are not long enough IMO. If I put in a pair of traditional nordstrom shoe trees you don't see the...

    "Designer" Facial Products: Worth it?

    You haven't lived until you've slathered $200 lotion all over your face. you ain't kidding. Once you try it, nothing else will do. When my wife and I were on our honeymoon at the Ritz Grand Cayman they had a La Prairie spa. For 10 days I lathered my body head to toe in some of the most...

    Tom's Shoes

    for every pair you buy another pair is donated to a less fortunate individual. I think it's a worthy cause, and some of them are actually cool enough to wear in public.
