    Cuffed vs. uncuffed pants

    I didn't see this question addressed on SF; please excuse me if I overlooked this discussion. I recently had a suit custom made that is fairly "fashion-forward" in that the jacket has peak, rather than notch, lapels. I haven't had the pants hemmed yet. Please give advice on whether having them...

    Question about Unlined Gloves

    Another question, if I may: What, if any, is the advantage of wearing unlined (dress) gloves? It seems to me that, if the weather is cold enough to wear gloves, lining would make them more functional by being warmer.

    DB vs. SB Overcoat: Upscale?

    This is probably not a major issue to anyone here, but it is something I'm curious about: Among people knowledgeable about clothing styles, other things being equal (e.g., fit, fabric, quality), is a double-breasted overcoat generally considered more upscale-looking than a single-breasted one?

    Belt Questions

    Among men in the US who wear upscale dresswear clothing regularly and who wear braces, probably Thurston and Brooks Brothers are among the leading brands. My guess is this is true among SF members and among the US population generally. I am curious: Among SF members who wear $750+ suits...

    DB Overcoats More "Upscale Looking"?

    A search among existing threads here did not turn up one on this topic, about which I am curious. Factors such as fabric, construction, and fit being equal, among people knowledgeable about sartorial details, is a double-breasted overcoat generally considered more "upscale looking" than a...

    Tuxedo Fabric

    A search of existing threads failed to turn up answers to a question I have. Sometime this year, I plan to buy a tuxedo that I believe I will have occasion to wear at least a few times a year. In addition to appearance and comfort, wrinkle resistance and durability under pressings are...

    Any Comments on Brass Bones Shirts of London?

    I found a similar thread from last year, but no one really offered any comments. Does anyone on SF have experience with shirts from Brass Bones Shirts of London? If so, how is the quality of fabric and construction, fit, and level of customer service? Thanks for any input SF members can provide.

    Who Made This Suit?

    http://www.styleforum.net/t/285255/rfks-curved-single-cuffs Does anyone know who made this suit? It seems unusual to me that this jacket (assuming it is part of a custom-made suit) does not have working buttonholes on the sleeves. Does anyone know, or can anyone share any insight into, why this...

    Kennedy's and Reagan's clothes

    This is, admittedly, not a subject high on the agendas of those knowledgeable regarding res sartoria, but I am curious: Does anyone here know who made suits and dress shirts for former presidents Kennedy and Reagan? Any information from SFers is appreciated. Also, a blessed New Year to all on...

    Cost of functional buttonholes

    Can anyone in the forum tell me if anyone in the Chicago suburb area can put functional buttonholes on suit jacket sleeves, and give me advice on what a fair price for this service would be? Thanks in advance for help with this.

    Question about waistbands

    I am considering having a suit made and would appreciate some advice about the waistband. I plan to have suspender (or brace) buttons put in so I could wear braces with the suit. If I would decide, for a particular occasion or for a particular time period, not to wear braces with this suit, what...
