Braces fashionable ?
I have been invited to a young wedding in the not too distant future. I was thinking of wearing a Prince of Wales check suit, white shirt, thin black tie, thin black braces and a pink pocket square. The only hesitation I have is with the braces, what would you do ?- whistle&flute

UPDATED: Conflict with proper suit/sport jacket length for short man
au contraire... I posed this question already having an opinion about the answer and attempting to have you think about your statement.

UPDATED: Conflict with proper suit/sport jacket length for short man
I have two questions for you: Do you think a man with short arms should follow your rule? Do you think this man and his jacket follow your rule? jcriswel Generally speaking most men are in proportion,which is why short fitting suits have shorter arms. I'm not speaking for men with midget arms.- whistle&flute

I recently took a pair of shoes from one of the English shoe makers in the highest tier to the shop (whom I shall not name because I do not want them publicly ousted) in order to have a very minor job performed upon them - putting metal tips on them. I took them to the shop so I could have the...- whistle&flute

Are you sitting there with a fountain of knowledge that you should probably pass on to someone less informative than yourself. If so, please list one or more piece of fashion/style advice you would like to pass on. It could be as simple as : one should never wear white socks with black shoes etc...- whistle&flute

UPDATED: Conflict with proper suit/sport jacket length for short man
When buying OTR a good rule of thumb for jacket length is, when standing erect with arms by your side the hem of your jacket should be no longer than were the palm of your hand meets your middle finger. Although a lot of the time fashion dictates how short you should wear your jacket.- whistle&flute

Having trawled SF for any mention of Facis Italian suits, with no luck whatsoever, I would be delighted if someone could give me their expert opinion on these suits. At 900€ RTW their not exactly cheap.- whistle&flute

Puckering around pick stitching of lapels - how to fix?
I think you will find that when stretching the cloth the stitching will also get stretched. The cloth will shrink back to its former shape but the stitching will stay stretched.- whistle&flute

Puckering around pick stitching of lapels - how to fix?
yes I have had this problem before and my solution has worked. Another tip would be, after steaming and stretching put a cold heavy object (cold iron) directly on to puckered area.- whistle&flute

Is this basting?
If it is criss crossed on the pockets it is basting - REMOVE IT. If it is only on the edge of the pocket and lapel it is AMF (artificial machine finish) DON'T REMOVE- whistle&flute

Puckering around pick stitching of lapels - how to fix?
The puckering could be that the stitching is too tight. Try steaming the puckered area and lightly stretch the fabric to ease the stitching.- whistle&flute
