Unless they list these particular measurements online, you'll really have to try the jacket on in person. Those two measurements (chest and "pit") give no sense for what body type you have, etc., so even if all manufacturers' sizings were the same (and they're not), they would be insufficient for determining your size.

First, what color is medium gray/charcoal? Those are very different.

Second, you can wear all kinds of ties with a solid pink shirt. Ground colors such as maroon, blue, green, gray, and black would all work. Almost any kind of pattern (neats, stripes, solids, etc.) would work.

My personal favorite is a green ground for the tie so long as you find one with a tone that harmonizes with the shirt. It's not the typical pairing, but when done properly looks good.

I recently bought a blazer and had the sleeves shortened but they didnt shorten them enough. They are still going to my knuckles. Where is the proper place the sleeves should meet? The Wrist? Also the sleeve appear to be to wide. It looks like I have wings. I have toothpick arms and was wondering can sleeves be slimmed down to be more fitted?

What is this about sleeves "meeting"? Your jacket sleeve should come to about your wrist and show 1/4" to 1/2" of your shirt sleeve. See the thread below:

I'm not sure about slimming jacket sleeves. I don't think it would be an easy alteration given the attachment of the sleeve at the armhole and the lining inside the sleeve. I would also think it likely to result in a jacket where the sleeves looked disproportionate to the body.

Jokerman · Nov 22, 2009

Well when they shortened the sleeves they had to do it from the attatchment of the arm hole other wise it would have interfered with the sleeve buttons. Also I had the sides brought it in so the sleeves already dont really match the body.

Most interested in the natural color and the detailing on the back of the hand (that seems to be the hardest element to find). The reverse seams don't really matter.

Hey.

I just recieved a pair liked that on a vacation in thailand.
There is this tailor that makes everythin in the world. Suits, gloves, ties, I even think he was talking about a wife who had a sister hwo made shoes haha Anyway its a real shop in pattaya thailand and the website is www.zentailor.net, and i think if you contacted him through there he can give you a great price ;-) I order there somtimes, and he got free shipping and everything!

God luck!

Pink oxford shirts: suitable for year-round (esp. fall-winter) wear?

This is pretty random but anyone know where I can find Burberry coats in XS? Online stores are mostly S only.

Does anybody know if this this is BB's marking for imperfect stock? Seller claims this is just to prevent retail return.

^ Retail return.

Lots of companies/stores do this, it prevents retail return like he said.

This might be an odd question, but does it really matter what type of shoe-tree you buy as long as it's ceder? I see them all over the place in terms of price and was curious if there is much of a difference in them as long as you get the right size.

Doesn't matter much to me.

Why don't you check here? I'm not sure whether you can find Burberry coats, but they have a number of men's stores that probably carry them.

And they even pay a part of your Cash back.
