    Why did traditional beige raincoats all but disappear and where can i find one?

    Dear all, Why have the traditional brands of raincoats (Aquascutum, Burberry and others) changed the style of their standard SB/DB raincoats from the soft, drapey cotton (gabardine?) with generous fits, creamy buttons, in a beautiful cold grey/green beiges (in the 70s/80s) to a stiff/rigid...

    Corby trouser press - are they worth it?

    Having faffed about with it for a couple of weeks, and getting thoroughly 'corrugated' results, i concluded the device, despite its lore and longevity (in homes as well as international hotels), is utterly useless. I am back to pressing with an iron, having wasted £180 on a replacement for one i...

    A 'contrast collar' blue jacket, a la Loro Piana Horsey

    Greetings all, Where can i find myself a lightweight (cotton, gabardine, waxed or not) jacket, with a high contrast collar, in the style of the 'Horsey' jacket by Loro Piana, without forking out £3k for the real thing? I saw the chap from Rubato wearing something similar, although this is an...

    The best all-round affordable well-made PoW/glen-check brown/oatmeal tweed sports jacket

    This is a good shout, thank you. I have a couple of pairs of Cavour trousers and am very happy with them. i'll take a look at their site. You make an interesting comment re. quality, you rank them (and Anglo Italian) higher than Drake's? I know Drake's sometime outsource stuff other than their...

    The best all-round affordable well-made PoW/glen-check brown/oatmeal tweed sports jacket

    This 'essential' menswear staple has been eluding me for some years, and i've decided finally needs to be added...whether we are approaching Spring/Summer or not. I'm 5'10 and 65kg, and quite narrow-shouldered, so this needs to have a relatively slim fit. I'd like it to be relatively soft, yet...

    House of Huntington - (Drake's, Nigel Cabourn, Private White V.C., and more) - Official Affiliate vendor thread.

    Hello there Ethan and Cat, i just put a big order through (#4906) around 6pm but like a plonker i forgot to add the STYLEFORUM15 code, even after following this trail (which gave me the impetus to put through the order)! Could i be extremely cheeky and ask if you would you mind adding it...

    The best 'chunky' merino/lambswool/cashmere rollneck

    Dear all, I'm looking for a very standard-fitting relatively heavy-weight (but not overly) navy blue roll neck sweater in a soft wool or cashmere. I'd be tempted to call it a 'submariner', but i'm not sufficiently confident of the definition and think that garment may other features (e.g...

    Creased placket on OCBDs

    Greetings all, A minor irritation that has plagued me for years. I like a ruffled OCBD and generally don't mind it coming out of the dryer a little crumpled, but how does one stop this sharp fold that sometimes appears right the way down the placket? It doesn't look good and is very difficult to...

    What is the name of this superb (tweed) cloth?

    This gentleman's sports coat has just the right heft and texture for a winter's afternoon stroll. I'd love to know what to search for when looking for something not dissimilar. This photo was featured on the sartorialist's feed, i believe of Tommaso Capozzoli Sensational flannel trouser, too.

    Creases in trousers - how to make them stay sharp?

    Greetings all, How does one keep creases in trousers, wool or cotton, stay? And stay sharp? I see certain trousers that seem to have a crease put in mechanically at the factory that looks as though it can't be removed, such as the below cotton Gurkha pants, with the crease almost extending to...

    knitwear slipping back throughout the day

    Thank you very much for the comprehensive reply. I have to say, i read it a few times, but couldn't quite put it together. I think a diagram may well tell a thousand words. I took a photo of the back, showing the fashioning, perhaps you could annotate the offending shaped seams and what might be...

    RTW trousers in Fox Flannel

    Thank you vm. Given it is so expensive, how do the high street brands manage to use their cloth on garments that are reasonably priced? E.g. * Cordings' covert coat at £595 * various Hackett suits and jackets at similar prices (see picture) * various Jack Wills jackets over the years Are...

    knitwear slipping back throughout the day

    Dear all, I have recently noticed that when wearing a close-fitting merino v-neck, it tends to slip 'upwards' over the course of an hour or so, making a big gap between the neck opening and my shirt collar, and pulls the v-neck upwards which results in a really awful look. it seems to happen so...

    RTW trousers in Fox Flannel

    Greetings all, Where, preferably in the UK, can i procure some RTW trousers (ideally single pleat with button or buckle side adjusters, but i'll take what i can get) made up in a variety (or ideally, my choice) of Fox cloths ? I'd like to avoid remortgaging my house here; i can work with an off...
