I'm a little confused on the pants sizing on the bloomingdale's web site. Sizes are listed as 30R through 40R. Does that mean the pants have finished hem? I need actual waist measurement of 32 inches, so is 32R my best bet?

Have a look at NMWA's site, they have measurements.

Antonio,
I saw where Greg said that any model jacket and pant may be custom ordered through NMWA. The Tenero jacket is a nice cut for me and I would like to know what pant model you would recommend as a compliment. I only have online access to the brand so the only pant I have been able to try are those from Bloomingdales (tipo), which are way too full in my normal waist size. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I think Antonio has mentioned a tailor in midtown that he uses for working buttons, etc. Does anyone know which tailor? Thank you much appreciated.

What's the difference between the Bloomingdales and Carson Street navy silk blazers?

Hey fellas, I have two Eidos Lupo polos both of which I wash by hand. I typically sit in a tub of cold water with Tide and I rub the cloth of the shirt together where it is dirty (mostly in the neck and cuff areas). This has served me pretty decently but does any one else use any other methods to wash their Lupos by hand, say with a washing board something? I saw one of the guys on here said that he machine washes his on delicate, something of which I've thought to do myself but never have as to stick to the label of hand washing.

Are Stanley Korshak and NMWA the only retailers carrying the Sal Trousers?

IIRC, it is only NMWA for now (although they are sold out). There were no others brave enough for this:

FWIW, all our Eidos odd trousers for fall are going to be Sal (not the suit trousers)

I'm up to 7 Lupo polos now and I've been machine washing them on cold water delicate cycle without issue. Of course, hand washing them is great if you have the time, but I've personally found that machine washing them is just fine.

Unless clothing's made from a fabric that shouldn't be machine-washed, I put everything into the washing machine on a cold, delicate cycle.

I also put all of my shirts into separate, mesh laundry bags before I put them into the washing machine, and then line-dry them.

You can usually get the mesh laundry bags in packs from discount shops or department stores (or, if you're in Japan, from the ubiquitous 100 yen shops).
