    San Diego Shopping Thread

    I've just discovered Joseph's Custom Menswear and Tailoring in Downtown (555 West B Street). Awesome suits and other ready to wear and probably the best tailor in the City. Tell him Joe sent you and see if you'll get a discount!!!!

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

     You're probably right. I know these jackets are shorter than the rest in my closet and I'm definitely not used to them yet. These pics are the first time I've worn either of them. I'm also contemplating taking the sleeves up just a touch, it might give the impression that the jacket is...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Here are two new suits from Howard Yount. One DB and one single, in navy linen. Let me know what you aficionados think of the fit. I'm starting to have a feeling the jackets could be taken in an 1.5 inches in the waist and about a half inch in each sleeve. I'm also noticing something going...

    is a 'resale' shop a viable business opportunity?

    I've had a similar idea recently. Having a classy brick and mortar location, designed to look like a great retail menswear store (Brooks Brothers stores, Zegna Stores, Hugo Boss, etc). Then hand pick suits, shoes, shirts and accessories from trusted purveyors on eBay. Many sellers have...

    Grenadine Ties Uncovered

    I just got my swatches in from Sam Hober, and I'm incredibly excited to place an order once I get down to 2-4 swatches. It's tough 'cause I love them all, but I'm fairly certain I'll be sticking to variations on the Garza Grossa weave, in darker, somber colors. Hey, David, I have an idea...

    Isaia vs Oxxford

    Achilles, I'll try to post a pic this weekend. and Joshuadown, I agree, I'm a muscular/big guy all over, and I think that the shoulders fit well because of the lack of structure or padding and I enjoy the slimming fit of the jacket, but as I said, we'll see about the trousers after I post...

    Isaia vs Oxxford

    I too am torn between the two makers. I have an Isaia suit (Base V) that I got from eBay that i really like. Probably the best fitting jacket I have ever owned, and literally feels like a sweatshirt. I have always had problems with jackets fitting properly in the shoulders (divots) and...

    What shoes should I wear?

    I have a few Cole Haans that might work well, I was just worried about the overall aesthetic from trouser to shoe. I usually never have to worry because I wear Brooks Brothers suits and they look good with Allen Edmonds longwings. I was just worried about the cut of the suit compared to the...

    What shoes should I wear?

    So I just got a deal on a Isaia suit from eBay and it is currently at the tailors getting some final alterations before wearing. It's charcoal grey with a light lavender pinstripe, slightly roped shoulders and plain front trousers. Needless to say I'm pretty pumped. :slayer: Except for...

    Buying life insurance at a young age - educate me

    No one understands that you don't have to die to reap the benefits of having a permanent life insurance policy. People don't just die, they get sick, have huge hospital bills, and illnesses that can last years. How about looking into policies that you don't have to die to use ...

    Buying life insurance at a young age - educate me

     That is the most unrealistic and ignorant statements on life insurance I have ever heard! You were right about pissing off the financial advisors! LOL! but seriously, he's asking questions about buying a policy to build cash value, and your remarks on the end of your rant "invest the rest...
