    HELP: Need alterations on a "tailored" suit

    Do you travel to the Phila. suburbs at all? I would highly recommend Centofanti Tailors in Ardmore, PA; a few steps from the train station. For many years I used an excellent tailor in Chester County, who, unfortunately, passed away a few years ago. After that, I tried other tailors, many...

    Kiton Working Buttons?

    I see you are in NJ. If you are close to the Philadelphia area, I would recommend Centofanti Tailors in Ardmore; you won't find a better tailor, and the cost is reasonable, and the work is excellent.

    Double-Breasted Brioni at Neiman-Marcus

    I totally agree with the posts concerning Centofanti. I also only had him do some alterations to Polo, but the quality of his work is just excellent. I had him do working buttonholes where he actually recut the sleeve vent to provide enough depth, and proper set of the buttons, and the...

    Gucci shoe repair

    I have a pair of traditional Gucci bit loafers which are about 15 years old, and still look great, and are very comfortable. As should be expected, the soles and heels could use some replacement, though not worn badly. Does Gucci offer such repairs, or can anyone recommend a quality source for...

    Affordable Over the Calf Socks

    I went through this exercise years ago with the demise of quality "local haberdasheries", and have found Brooks Brothers to be a great, and consistent supplier of either cotton or wool OTC's.

    Replacing brass buttons on a navy blazer

    If the buttons are the PRL type, go to www.waterburybutton.com, click on "Fashion", and they have/make the brass PRL version with the helmet and crossed mallets. Good luck in whatever you choose!

    What's your Favorite Beer?

    Sam Adams Imperial stout, or just about anything from Bell's, especially their Two Hearted Ale. I also like many of the Brooklyn brews; IPA and Pilsner.

    Favorite Dylan song

    "Cross The Green Mountain" from Gods & Generals; a newer song. Hard to beat "Like A Rolling Stone". "Farewell Angelina", and "It's All Over Now Baby Blue" are also good, and not mentioned earlier.

    Who Makes This RLPL Jacket

    I don't recall seeing any suits at all. The sport coat selection was OK, and there were quite a few 40's. I thought the style of some of the sport coats was a bit avant garde, and far from traditional in some cases. I'd suggest calling them as they seemed quite helpful. My wife was not...

    Who Makes This RLPL Jacket

    No need to sell this jacket to you--BUY one at Woodbury. I was there on Monday, and they had several in mostly size 40, and they were 50% off the lowest price, which if i recall, would be about $375. I was there for the first time, returning from a trip to Saratoga to southeastern PA, but I...

    Opinions on a Navy Blue Polo Blazer...

    I have several of these, ranging from RL's early efforts till the Corneiliani era, and I can only offer good things to say. Nonsense on the silver buttons; if that is your taste, enjoy! RL's quality has always been great, not bespoke, but, then again, neither is the price. Use good taste, and...

    Tailor in Wilmington DE or surrounding area

    Thank you for the recommendations! Are either of you familiar with Centofante; and if so, how would you compare the two?

    Does anyone have any advice on a good tailor in the Wilmington DE or Chester County PA area?

    RL Polo vs. PL sizing suits/sport jackets

    I wear a 48R in RL Polo (Corneiliani), and the fit is fine. Does anyone have an idea of how this would compare in Purple Label?

    Favorite Poem

    Yes, the poetry of war. . . . . . . WINIFRED M. LETTS From "The Spires of Oxford and Other Poems," by Winifred M. Letts, copyright, 1917, by E. P. Dutton & Company, New York. Permission to reproduce in this book. I SAW the spires of Oxford As I was passing by, The gray spires of Oxford...

    Working buttonholes for RLPolo

    I noticed a RLPolo jacket on the sale board which was a Corneiliani OTR model with working buttonholes. I have many RLPolo suits and jackets, and I was told over the years, by an excellent tailor, that working buttonholes cannot be done on OTR jackets (those without basted sleeves), and I've...

    Fine flatware (what is the best)
