    Reasonably priced, Good Quality Classic Chinos

    I think I'm addicted to chinos. I have pairs from RRL, Buzz Rickson, and Bronson. I just added ones from Warehouse via Masuya 1997. After a couple of wears, my clear favorites are the ones from Warehouse and Buzz Rickson. They have the classic styling and are robustly built. Also, Masuya 1997...

    Has anyone bought anything from Caroline Murat Menswear?

    They came up on my Instagram and here's their profile. Their store seems to be on Taobao, but I have never been able to register and view items. I like a few of their items on Instagram and was wondering if anyone has any experience or thoughts? Thanks.

    Dress Trousers vs Denim/Jeans Measurements

    I mostly use Luxire for my dress trousers and I have dialed in the measurements to my satisfaction. They are optimized for drape, high waist and wide leg. I want to have some ivory-colored jeans made with a high waist and wide leg and I was wondering how to adjust the measurements. In other...

    Love the Percival x Illaria Collab

    The collaboration between Percival (Christopher Gove) and Illaria Urbanati is gorgeous. I especially love the polos which have a touch of classic but are modern. Also, the polos seem to be relatively short and will go well with high-waisted pants.

    Recommendation for high-waisted, wide-legged chinos

    I have a pair of Samurai Jeans Chinos which I absolutely love. I'd like something like those, but with a higher rise to make them higher-waisted and with similar hem width. These trousers would be paired with blazers as well casual fits reminiscent of the 1930s and 1940s - short or tucked in...

    Dress Like Ellington

    This is a nice piece on how jazz musicians and in particular, Duke Ellington, dressed. I am obsessed with formal menswear of the 30s, 40s, and 50s. I find it elegant and somehow so effortless. It's cool to see that these musicians deeply cared about the way they looked as much as the music they...

    Thoughts on e-retailer Olderbest

    I just got an email from Olderbest. They seem to sell reproductions of classic American and British workwear and military-based designs. Their stuff looks really cool. Does anyone have any experience ordering from them? Here's their "About Us" section from their website:

    Wool Chore Coat Recommendations

    I'm looking for recommendations for a wool chore coat. I love the boiled wool material of De Bonne Facture's overshirt, but it could be melton, or felt. I want hand-warmer pockets - preferably slanted or horizontal as opposed to vertical patch pockets. Finally, it should have minimal hardware -...

    Advice/Opinions on a sport coat

    I picked it up on eBay, and I love the fabric - the color, the texture and the weight. Some how the shape doesn't seem right. I'm the bottom part of the coat looks too wide. I'll wear it to work which is more casual than formal. I would very much appreciate feedback. Thanks.

    Alternative to de Bonne Facture Grandad Overcoat

    I absolutely love the de Bonne Facture Grandad Overcoat. However, I'm a 38R and the smallest they have is 44. Also, 1400 EU is beyond my budget. I've been scouring the internet for a used one, but no luck. My question is are there alternatives that folks would recommend? I am a newbie and not...
