    Best shoe polish?

    In asking Tony G. at EG what he would recommend that I use on my bespoke shoes he made, he said to use Kiwi.

    Chisel toe

    The one question I have in addition to the style difference, is who in general makes a better last between EG & Cleverly. On the surface, I suppose it is a subjective question--but it is to me perhaps the most important consideration.

    Chisel toe

    Was looking at the Cleverly bespoke seletion recently and did not particularly care for the chisel toe; but as it was the first time I had come accross it up close, perhaps I'll come to like it in time. With it's history, a great many people obviously do.

    Shirt Armholes

    Just to further elaborate: I am not a heavy sweater--actually I sweat very liitle (say average). But the armhole fits so well/snug that even a small amount of perspiration shows through (i.e., my shirt is a medium blueon solid colors). For example, if I extend my arm straight up towards the...

    Shirt Armholes

    I'm thinking in terms of future shirts I order--I suppose I'll have to have the armhole lowered--I'm just worried that it will effect the "Sillhoutte" of the shirt.

    Shirt Armholes

    I recently recieved a MTM shirt from Hong Kong--and am overall fairly happy with it. But the armholes, while fitting snuggly up in my armpits (very comfotably), are showing my perspiration (I don't wear an undershirt). So what are my options here? - either wear an undershirt or lower the...

    Sweater Vests

    Carrol & Co in LA has good, slimmer fitting lambswoll/cashmere alan pyne sweater vests. I recently bought two, which were not too long in lenght and were more fitted than others.

    Ascot Change Visit

    Mr. Kabbaz, Thanks for the recommendation. Your words ring true. I will inquire of Mr Anto and see if we can't make an appointment.

    Ascot Change Visit

    I'm paying a visit to AC in Los Angeles next week, for an order of six shirts; but before making an appointment, could anyone recommend whom I should ask for to do my measurements? Also, although the AC web site says they do custom-made shirts, is'nt it really MTM. For full bespoke, they would...

    EG Yardley 11/11.5 606 last

    The shoes have no trees from EG itself--simply the Maulofs brand (the store I bought it at in Calif). The size per the shoe is 11/11.5, and a D width. I have never posted an image here, but will go to the trouble of doing so if someone is seriously interested.

    EG Yardley 11/11.5 606 last

    I am new to this, so bear with me. I have a pair of one-year old EG yardley's, worn all of three times, for sale. Size is 11/11.5 on the 606 last--Burnt Pine. Purchased at Maulofs in Burlinggame, Calif. My cost, brand new, was $850. I'll sell to the highest bidder; however, if the bids are...

    Sportscoat Waistbutton

    Generally, should the waistbutton on a sportscoat be at the same placement as the waistbutton on a suit? It seems to me that it should, in that to create the proper silhoutte you need the button to be perfectly place between the lower & upper body.

    Corduroy pants & sport jacket?

    So I assume the incotex cords I am now wearing (91% cotton, 9% cashmere) are probably wide-wale, as they have pronounced ridges. From the definitions given, I would assume most cords on the market are wide-wale?
