    The jacket should completely cover your backside. Aside from that, you should be able to cup your hands under the sides of the jacket; but a word of warning: do what looks best, not what the rules dictate. Some people look better with a slightly shorter jacket, or slightly longer depending on...

    When wearing a suit, how far down your backside should the bottom of the jacket hit? Is there a general rule of thumb?

    Can a ripped wool sweater be fixed?

    I've been having a little trouble finding an answer to this question. I have a couple merino wool sweaters that have come apart, not at the seems, but little "rip" holes in the shoulder area from putting the sweaters on. Can these kinds of rips be fixed? Or does one just have to...

    List the items of clothing you constantly use yet had for the longest?

    I still wear an an old Stussy No. 5 t-shirt that I bought my junior year of high school--18 years ago. Still fits, though the "black" shirt looks a little green-grey nowadays.

    Farinellis: Official Affiliate thread

    I stopped in yesterday and the store, while still coming together, is so rad. Slim-fit RRLs? Sick! Nudie Bengt? Awesome! The Louis Vuitton chairs? So amazing. And don't get me started on the RRL ruck sack...

    wrinkles and drying pants

    Question for the group: When I dry pants, and the occasional pair of jeans, they come out with these monster deep creases that are hell to iron out. Any ideas how to combat that? Mostly I dry the pants to get them to fit better, but the Grand Canyon-like wrinkles are killing me. Any advice...

    Keeping a dress shirt pressed?

    Thanks for all your answers. Better fitting shirts and fabric experimentation it is.

    Keeping a dress shirt pressed?

    Help...I am at a loss on this one. I own several dress shirts I wear to work. Nothing too expensive, mostly department store house brands, generally around $40-50 dollars. My problem is, none of them stay looking good throughout the day. After I take my jacket off a coupleof times, the...

    Help with Seven jeans

    Help...I need the collective wisdom of the group. I ordered a pair of Sevens in the Slimmy cut, size 36. Well, they didn't fit and store won't let me return them, only exchange for store credit. They don't have much but the guy at the store said he'd order me a nother pair of Sevens. So, my...

    New York City Stores

    I'm headed to NYC for a long weekend and want to hit some good stores, only there are so many of them. Can y'all recommend some go-to stores, mostly for denim and mildly dressy- type clothing. No need for MTM suits on this trip. Thanks!

    Matching shoes and belts

    I picked up the shoes at Banana Republic. They were $158 and I got them for $45--so I had to buy them. There may be some still online or in local stores.

    Dying jeans.

    Thanks. I was looking just to get them darker again. I'm too sentimental and don't want to part with them.

    Matching shoes and belts

    I just picked up a great pair of suede loafers in a tan/khacki color. I have a belt which is brown in color, a true to slightly light-ish brown. The question is: I know that one's shoes are to match one's belt. Can I get by with tan shoes and a brown belt? Or do I need to get a belt closer...

    Dying jeans.

    Is it possible to re-dye a faded pair of jeans? I have some 501's which are just perfect but wearing them for years had faded the heck out of them. Just curious. Thanks.

    Anyone know where I can get a pair of jeans hemmed in the Arlington/DC area with having to pay a ridiculous amount? Thanks a lot!
