    Viccel.com socks

    Viccel is now selling (producing?) shirtings. Anyone tried them? Double width, prices a little under italian fare. This one looks fun:

    The Hand Sewn Buttonhole Thread

    ^That's sewn with a very fine thread! Interesting. Yeah, I'm a little scared to go down this path. I fear it may be a slippery slope (although you would say the same thing about milanèse buttonholes, I suppose). I already have an idea on how to reduce the time it takes with stripped twist...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

     Awesome, I'll try to implement what I can. Looking at everyone else's RTW/MTM side shots, I can see what you're talking about with the displacement of the shoulder seam. Thanks guys, you're great! PS this will probably be my last coat for a little while. I was admitted to business school...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

     Click for large size The difference the 1cm change in neckpoint makes is amazing. Suddenly, the collar hugs tightly, but almost all the other seams need to find a different natural position, and the scye needs a lot of work after that. It's taken me ages to understand most of the...

    The Hand Sewn Buttonhole Thread

     Actually, that post is taken from the C&T forum, and that buttonhole took an hour. He is a surgery student, and used a normal needle & gimp for these. That, and J's examples, show what happens when you get even stitches and the right harmony of gimp and twist thickness all happening at the...

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

     I always thought this was a weight "range" that depended on humidity and the moisture content that the cloth was carrying, hence you could expect the weight to be in that range? (Given that they all seem to quote between 30g, i.e. one ounce, which is a variable percentage depending on the...

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

     Ah well, good to know they fit some people well. What width AE shoe do you wear? I can't get over this rationale though - width is supposed to reflect the width at the ball of the foot, not the instep height. This is the gap I'm talking about (on the tan shoe).

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

     However, all of the pictures of oxfords in this thread exhibit the same laces gap, so I can't believe Americans have sufficiently low insteps to justify this last shape. And the thing that originally attracted me to AEs was the wide availability of narrower widths. I guess AEs just don't...

    1 Year MBA Programs

    ^Agree 100%. I've never gotten over the babysitting stigma of the internship. You could work through the logic with some numbers. Assuming top schools: American 2 year program: $150K (?), 2 years' forgone salary, one internship. Potentially increased possibility of being employed post...

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

    What's with the low instep on AEs? Got my first couple of pairs in the post, both oxfords, both with large lace gaps when I put them on. I do an image search on this thread, and everyone else who wears oxfords seems to have the same problem: the laces don't come anywhere near to closing at the...
