    Question about shortening odd jackets

    How easy is this to do? I just got 4 odd jackets back from Mr. Ned and I think they are all about 1/2 of an inch too long. If I go back and tell them this how easy would it be to fix? Is this a fairly common and easy alteration? Also, before I go ahead, where exactly is the consensus on where...

    Question re. Asian bespoke tailors

    Hi, I was wondering how long the process normally takes. If I am going to only be in say Saigon for a week, will they have sufficient time for all of the fittings? Also, what are the prices like? Do they do good work? Finally, of course, open to recommendations on tailors and bootmakers.

    Discount buys on bright summer shoes?

    Is there a good discount website that will have deals on driving shoes and other summer shoes (preferably ones to be worn without socks), specifically ones that are in bright or outlandish colors?

    Button shop in NYC?

    Inspired by another thread, what is a good place to go and pick out some buttons. I am having 4 coats made and would like to pick out some interesting buttons for them.

    SF member on American Flight 660 yesterday?

    I swear this guy must post here. Light gray suede boots, red socks, light green pants, nice dress shirt and what looked like a custom/bespoke sport coat. If you were on that flight show yourself!

    Spring/Summer Sport Coat Suggestions

    Hey, I am going tomorrow for a first fitting to get a few jackets made. I was wondering if you might have any suggestions on good spring/summer jackets, or various detail suggestions as I am admittedly not even close to as well versed as most of SF on the intricacies of all the details. I was...

    Green bowtie/cumberbund set?

    Anyone know a place to pick one of these up in NYC? Going to an event soon with a theme that calls for green flair on black tie.

    Tom James Custom Tailor?

    Hi, I made an appointment to go in this Saturday. I am planning on having a sport coat made to test them out. What should I expect from this? Also are they horrible and I should cancel, or are they worth getting a sport coat from?

    Slanted jacket pockets?

    I was wondering what the consensus is here. I am going to have a few jackets made soon and I don't know how I feel about this. I do not care for the heavily slanted pockets, but I think I would be ok with slightly slanted pockets. Is there any terminology I should know as to the grade of the...

    70's style powder blue tux

    Does anyone still make these other than shoddily made "costume" versions? I think it would be hilarious to get one of these with the slanted pockets and dark blue trim on the pockets/lapel, ruffled shirt and wear it to some of the more uptight black tie events I attend. Any luck or...

    My next bespoke coat

    I had been planning on going with a brown herringbone fabric, but now that it is getting close to spring and I won't really have much use for such a jacket for a number of months I was thinking perhaps I would be better served with something that is a year round style. I don't want to shell out...

    Drape tutorial?

    I see lots of discussion on "drape." What exactly are we talking about? And apparently I spelled the title wrong, lovely.

    Opinions on Mr. Ned's Tailor NYC?

    Hi, I normally have my clothes made at another (bespoke) tailor who is probably twice as expensive as Mr. Ned. This of course limits the number of garments I get made. I was wondering what the quality of the work is like and if it would be worth having a sport coat made to gauge their...

    Custom Shoes?

    Hi, I posted this in the wrong forum before. I have never had shoes made for me before. I generally wear JM Westons for work Ferragamo's for casual and black tie, but I figured I would look into having some shoes made. What can you tell me about the process, costs and some suggestions on where...

    Cufflinks

    Any suggestions (or links) to designers that make some good but reasonably priced ($1-300 range...or less) pairs of cufflinks? I would prefer designers who make unique or interesting cufflinks as opposed to the usual drivel with a price greatly inflated based on the name attached.
