    Upscale Clubbing / Lounging

    Depends how "upscale" it is. I was expecting a thread about dinner vs. business vs. lounge suit.

    Blog re-boot: Tweed in the City

    There was Tweed Fetish, but apparently tweedfetish.com has already been taken. This scares me. Particularly the flashing pictures.

    Custom Made Suit - Is This A Good Deal??

    It's a good enough price to be suspicious. Ask to see some of his completed pieces, preferably on satisfied customers if possible.

    That inside button on DB jackets?!? :crazy:

    Been waiting for a chance to use this one.

    That inside button on DB jackets?!? :crazy:

    And obviously, why the button is usually shanked.

    35 yrs olds - old enough to carry off a hat?

    Are there any guidelines, or do you just have to try lots of hats until you find the ones that suit you? Generally, the size of the brim should be proportional to your head. If you have a tiny head, you don't want a big brim. If you have a massive head, you don't want a tiny brim. Other than...

    Blog re-boot: Tweed in the City

    Hey, the stipulation was clear! It would be wrong of me to break my own rule. NSFW... kind of. Not quite there yet, but... Does only on a tweed jacket count? Because that one would be definitely NSWF.

    Blog re-boot: Tweed in the City

    You neglect to consider the possibility that I prefer no 'pattern' at all . . . How open should the quarters be?

    35 yrs olds - old enough to carry off a hat?

    Neither is more stylish than the other; it depends on how you're proportioned and what you plan on wearing it with.

    How should a suit fit on the shoulders?

    It's hard to pretend they're pants in this one. Send the photo to Eric Glennie and let's get some office skirts made. EDIT: no longer applicable.... but still a marvelous idea.

    Advice (please): Blue mid-weight DB coat (blazer?)

    I don't think I've seen this book. Unfortunately my (Italian and provincial) tailor carries primarily Zegna, Loro Piana, Drapers, etc., though he does have some of the usual English suspects. I might be able to source it elsewhere anyway, as I'm London fairly frequently. I'm not too keen on...

    Blog re-boot: Tweed in the City

    I said only in tweed jackets. Will there be extra points for.. ahem.. pattern matching?

    How should a suit fit on the shoulders?

    The second shoulder fit is better, but does look a bit tight. The first is too big in the shoulders. They shoulders should just fall on yours; can you try a size in between? And by the way, if you want to pull off the suit-jacket-sans-pants look, boxer-briefs work a lot better. While your...

    Double breasted blazer for a short guy . . .

    I think Phat Guido looks quite smashing on pg 2, and not the least bit like an affected child. If something still looks good in a 60 year old photograph, I'm not sure what's to keep it from looking good now.

    35 yrs olds - old enough to carry off a hat?

    Dude we've seen your pics and the jig is up, just stop Dude, if you don't like them, that's fine. What reason do I have to lie? Seriously. SF isn't the whole world, as some here may think.

    35 yrs olds - old enough to carry off a hat?

    +1 It took me a bit to figure that out. Now when I wear one I don't care what other people think, though often I get a positive response. Usually from women, and also older gentlemen. +2 Women of all ages seem to like a man in a proper hat, having gotten many a positive comment from undergrad...

    Double breasted blazer for a short guy . . .

    The consensus as to which better elongates the body shifts depending on which is in fashion. Ultimately, in 2-button vs. 3-button, whichever elongates the body best depends on the cut of the suit, the button stance, the waist suppression, the gorge, etc... Both can do it well. So as you said...

    I feel like revamping my tie wardrobe and getting skinnier ties

    3.25 to 3.5" ties aren't skinny at all. Try 3" or 2.75" and below Yes, again to those who seem confused: The OP isn't looking for skinny ties, just skinnier, normal 3.25-3.5" ties.
