Club Monaco: Adventures in decent clothing and horrible marketing
I did a search but didnt come up with results. Do the chinos shrink after the first machine wash and dryer trip? Talking specifically about the Davis Chinos (reg. weight), but any of the cotton trousers would apply I assume. Thanks- loreley

Blazer is made typically with a similar cloth as a "city" suit, except with metal / brass/ MOP buttons. Sportcoats (which is what you may be after) are made with more robust fabrics, typically with a pattern or visible texture (like herringbone or houndstooth). That being said, TaT can do...- loreley

How do you meet people?
Like so many other things in life, there are rarely set, direct paths to goals. As others have said, find an activity that you enjoy that puts you in a position to meet other people. Shared and common interests / goals are powerful social forces that brings people together. It's no guarantee of...- loreley

Depends on what you view as significant. The mohair is going to be solid up close, and the birds-eye will not. That said, they both will be navy, but there will be more visible texture to the birds-eye.- loreley

Your pants should be hemmed a little shorter if the back is breaking like that. Even though it's a "conservative" leg taper, it's still narrow enough that a Half-break should be the most it breaks. As for the jacket, your tailor may let out the back a little, while at the same time taking in the...- loreley

1. Yes you can treat it as solid. As far as first proper suit, navy or charcoal will do, as long as it is solid. 2. Define "conservative." Tapered trousers and shorter jackets have been around for more than half a century. It is a particular aesthetic. If you want to know if will be...- loreley

Actually this looks pretty good! I thought I recognized the fabric... I have the same one. The one thing I might do if I were you is let out the jacket sleeves about 1/2". It seems like there is just a bit too much cuff showing for my tastes.- loreley

J.Crew Spring 2012
I posted a separate thread, but didn't get any relies, so I'll try here: Anyone have any comments on the "crinkle" aspect of this denim? Is it something that can be ironed out?- loreley

Personally, a 32 inch sleeve length fits me perfectly how I like it, which is when unbuttoned, the cuff sits around 3/4" below the break of my wrist. That way when bending my arm, the shirt tends to rise proportionally with the jacket, rather than leaving 2-3 inches of sleeve showing.- loreley

It's also hard to tell, but it looks like either your sleeves are a little too short, or your cuff is sitting well below the break of your wrist. Either way, this issue should be fixed as well.- loreley

This is easy. If I were the tailor, I would take in some fabric on the back shoulder area, and let out the back (around the waist) a little bit. Both these adjustments will happen on the back seam that runs down the middle of the back.- loreley
