    NYC clubbing and safety

    New Brioni SC - to keep or not to keep? (pics)

    I received various items today including this Brioni SC am open to opinions (the trousers are straight out of the box, so not pressed yet, and the shoes will probably go back so they still have their tag dangling from them)

    Shoe purchase advice, please: Loake vs. Cheaney

    Hi all, I am looking at getting either a pair of Loake Mulligan: or a pair of Cheaney Tweed: From the shops I'm looking at, I could get the Loakes at 200 euros and the Cheaneys at 300 euros. A not negligible difference I guess. What think you people? Are the Cheaneys worth 100 euros...

    Need help with maths question

    (Pics:) Can a tailor explain how back curvature impacts the cut of a shirt

    I've had five shirts made by ModernTailor. I picked average back/average shoulders for a couple of the shirts and bent back/straight shoulders for the others.

    Things to do in Ghana

    I have a trip to Accra, Ghana coming up. Will be there for nearly a week. Have any of the well-travelled SF members been there and can recommend anything?

    Need help w/ interconnections between TV set and external speakers

    This might be a bit tricky, not sure if it can be done at all: I just bought a TV set with an integrated DVD player (this one).

    A few questions about shirt collars

    I am not altogether happy with the collars on any of the shirts I've had made so far. They range from stiff-like-cardboard to relatively-flexible-but-still-not-as-soft-as-I-would-like. 1. Is it a bad idea to specify omitting the interlining in the collar altogether (and possibly cuffs) for the...

    The two Sam's (Hong Kong and Shanghai)

    Is there a relation between them or are the names just a coincidence? I might be in Shanghai for a couple of weeks later this month or next. The search function seems to yield a somewhat general consensus that non-HKG China is awful for tailoring, except for W.W. Chan Shanghai and possibly...

    The Multilingual Styleforum Glossary
