    Chalk-stripe as odd jacket?

    What about the opposite: I have a pair of light pinstripe charcoal trousers. Would wearing these with a navy blazer on top be appropriate?

    Places to get a suit pressed in NYC?

    Comments on Ascot Chang

    I've had four or five done at AC. I had my measurements done originally in Hong Kong and have ordered a couple of more from home after they sent me some fabric samples. I'm very satisfied with the quality and fit of the shirts and will definitely continue to order from them.

It seems as if stores have carried almost nothing but 3-button suits the last few years. This season for the first...

    Ww chan suits: worth the money?

    I travelled to Hong Kong two years ago and had a suit made by Chan. I selected a gray Australian lamb's wool by Zegna and had it made in a three-button style with side vents, and in total it came to about $1,250. All in all, I felt they did an excellent job. Almost all of the detailing was...
