    Tailcoat options and considerations

    I have been considering making a tailcoat and am pondering some decisions. Maker- WW Chan vs NSM? WW Chan made my tuxedo and I believe that Patrick will be able to guide me to make all the appropriate decisions and details. If I make it through Patrick, I am sure it will stylistically correct...

    Treasure and Bond in NYC

    This is a new store in NYC by Nordstroms where all profits go to charity. Interesting concept. Checked out the store today. Most items for men look SW&D. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/16/business/nordstrom-opens-treasurebond-in-new-york-city.html

    Super 8

    One of the most fun movies I've seen in a long time and reminds me of the movies I saw growing up. Sort of like Goonies meet E.T.

    Good value London restaurant recommendations?

    So I plan on being in London in a couple months. The past few times I've been, I've stuck with eating Indian food b/c I found it quite good value for the money. I can't live on Shepard's pie or Fish&Chips for a week. Anyone have suggested restaurants I should check out?

    Maurice Sedwell

    Any one with recent experience? He seemed very dedicated to quality on the BBC documentary. The dissection by jefferyd seems consistent with the reputation. http://tuttofattoamano.blogspot.com/...e-sedwell.html

    Black oxfords; stitch cap or punch cap?

    Stitch cap Punch cap I like the punch cap more but they are not as correct as the stitch cap for black tie (I go to maybe 1-4 black tie events a year). Should I get the punch cap and live through the occasional ignominy of not being in completely correct black tie attire, though few would...

    Rome shopping; partly window and not the usual suspects

    G. Marini Via Francesco Crispi, 97 They were the only Roman bespoke shoe maker I was able to find mentioned previously on these boards but there has not been much discussion about them. To my eye they seem to make relatively conservative shoes compared to their Italian counterparts such as...

    Summer weight DB blazer vs DB BlazerSuit (TM)

    Has anybody tried making a DB Blazer for the summer? It is too hot? Should I consider making it with matching pants for a DB BlazerSuit (TM)? Also 2x2 or 6x2?

    Current SF bay area restaurant recs

    I'm in the bay area for a few days next month. So I've already been to The French Laundry and Slanted Door which are both good for different reasons. I found Aqua mediocre. I'm thinking of trying Cyrus or Gary Danko. What do you guys think about Meadowood? Maybe I'll eat lots of Pho, which I...

    Copenhagen or Oslo end of April?

    I'm thinking of spending 4 or 5 days in Copenhagen or Oslo during the last week of April. I thought of trying to hit both cities but I think that is too rushed. Which city do you prefer at that time of the year? Am I right that Oslo and the fjords are too cold at that time of the year? BTW I'm...

    Irish Linen for the summer?

    So I am thinking of making a linen summer jacket. The Irish linen I felt seems quite stiff and heavy. It also seems quite tightly woven. How does it perform compared with the Crispaire fresco? Is Irish linen more suitable for Spring? I was also wondering if I should I select a lighter softer...
