    ٭٭٭ No Man Walks Alone - Official Affiliate Thread ٭٭٭ (a.k.a. I shouldn't have slept on it)

    Any advice on the sizing of the Labura chore coat by Portuguese Flannel? I received a medium as a Christmas gift and thought that would be correct given the true to size suggestion. After trying it on for a longer period of time, I’m thinking about exchanging for a large. Got it in black and...

    Second this on the inseam length for Rota. Had to really size up to get even close to the necessary inseam and tailor needed to add extra fabric to finish the pants (no cuffs, just straight hem). For reference, I’m 6 foot.

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Any advice on if you can alter a pair of trousers that are a touch too “flat” feeling when standing and a little tight when sitting down? Will letting out the seat help fix this? I have thicker thighs/seat area so tend to go looser these days and just take the waist in, but these are like 90%...

    The Overcoat Thread

    This is the biggest issue. If I thought I was walking outside all day, I’ll put on a really chunky wool sweater, and over shirt, etc., but that’s doesn’t work in normal day to day.

    The Overcoat Thread

    I think a lot of wool overcoats would be greatly improved by adding a layer of thinsulate so that they have a bit more practical application. I’m finding the PS donegal (and I think this would be the same with many other wool overcoats) not warm enough even in 20-30F. If I’m going to spend...

    The unofficial NMWA Buy/Sell Thread (a.k.a. second chance thread)

    Second this, would love to know why this seems to be reoccurring advice. If it’s just “embrace the ware and tear” then why not just use regular leather?

    The Overcoat Thread

    Does anyone own one of the newer Permanent Style balmacaans (~720 grams I believe) and not think it’s actually warm? If I’m wearing a just cotton sweater or shirt underneath it doesn’t feel warm, and the wind seems to rip through it regardless. If I’m really layered up (shirt, thick wool Irish...

    Great look, what model trousers are these?

    Any reason why you’re letting this go?

    The unofficial NMWA Buy/Sell Thread (a.k.a. second chance thread)

    Curious to know what line of work your in/ general location where back to office means tailoring everyday? I’ve just found finance (one of the more dressed up professions) to be almost adverse to actual tailoring - especially sportcoats - vs the chino/dark jeans and a button down shirt.

    Boston Vs Cobbler Shaker, Which one is better?

    Boston shaker with the two metal tins is far and away the better option. You just need enough ice and a hard smack to keep the seal together.

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    How do you get away with wearing a suit that often and dry cleaning only once? After a couple of wears I almost always find some sort of spot, or have worn it for a summer wedding and end up rather sweaty.

    Pics are most welcome if you purchased them. A suit was a big ticket item I was not prepared for at all, so I’m contenting myself with the style pics.

    The Sartoria Carrara taupe nailhead suit is beautiful, a new personal grail item.
