Go to a local high-end menswear shop and ask for recommendations.

LOL! Well, I do enjoy Yelp for its restaurant recommendations. Figure I would try my hand at tailoring as well.

Apologize for the sub-standard pics in advance. Are these gloves too big? They feel okay in the fingers but the palm seems to have extra material when I make a fist. Would love opinions ASAP so I can either give them back to the seller or keep them and go home.

Edit: Returned.

I am but a gloves neophyte but they look too big to me

What city? Tons of tailoring posts all over this forum. Maybe yours has been covered at some point in time, or a city within an hour of you.

Greetings gents. These will be returning from alterations tomorrow and I need to figure out where to go in terms of both a shirt and tie and an open collar shirt alone. I'm kind of drawing a blank - suggestions?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

For SC #1 what do you think about a light blue shirt and a forest green tie where the green has some pop to it and isn't too dark a shade? Still thinking about SC #2 since I haven't graduated to bolder patterns yet!

Thanks TM - it's actually the same coat in the second pic, just a close-up to show the pattern more clearly. I'll give that a shot.

I live in the Dallas, TX area, though I'm about 45 minutes away from downtown. I'm sure I could find some if I search on the forums. Will just take me a bit.

I'm thinking about getting a Sterlingwear Authentic Peacoat in Navy, my only issue is the sizing. I've already searched SF for full measurements, but I couldn't find any.

5'9", 145 lbs

Chest: 38”
Arm (CB, held straight): 32.5”
Waist: 31”
Hip: 36”
Arm circumference: 12”



Would a 36R fit? I've been told to size down (and that SW's size guide isn't accurate).

Does anyone have measurements for a 36R, or have similar dimensions and would like to offer some advice?

EDIT: Specifically shoulder width measurements

The only thing they're lacking is shoulder width measurements. I'll go back and edit my post.

Yes exactly!
