    Your Tailored Wardrobe, My Way

    Interesting read, but yes I agree..it should always be a grey flannel.

    suit options around $3,000

    A Zegna suit can easily fetch for 3K however it will depend on the fabric I believe such as a solid navy suit for less than that.

    Peak lapels alteration

    When take a photo like that the pinstripe just looks immaculate, but in a conservative environment/office I rarely see anyone wear the pinstripe anymore. But of course a moderate lapels would be best to even out the proportion.

    A.M Bespoke?

    As with most online mtm, you have to book an appointment first, you can't shop online yet in their site.

    Suit Opinions?

    Yes, slim lapels..slim fitting often look better on tall lanky body types and not for everyone. I'd usually go for a slightly slim or perhaps tapered tailored suit jacket and straight cut trousers.

    Is the secret to a better cheap shirt collar roll… *gasp*… starch?

    Wow I remember my mother used to do this back in the day. It does tend to make the shirts look more pressed longer.. particularly for cotton dress shirts.

    Gingham shirts

    I love wearing them with a blazer and jeans. It's simple and easy to wear. Like I said, just put on a blazer and you're all set to go.

    Ridiculous looking slim fit suits

    If you happen to be a beefy 6 feet tall guy, wearing a slim fit suit just makes you look silly. The point is, wear a suit that fits your body type and not get all caught up with the trends. Slim fit suits are not for everyone.

    What’s a $4,000 Suit Worth?

    "But not everyone is willing to wait. Bespoke suits commonly require three fittings, and that’s after a long consultation. Even the richest customer simply has to wait — sometimes months — before the new suit is finished. No wonder so many pass up a $4,000 bespoke suit for a ready-to-wear Kiton...

    Opinion on Navy Blazer button replacement

    These look great on a navy blazer. Really can make the blazer stand out from the pack.

    Buying First Suit - Help

    Skinny or slim fitting doesn't suit everyone and really depends on personal style. Just because it's trendy in your office doesn't mean you have to follow them. And skinny doesn't work well with all body types. Just make sure the suit is tapered close to the body but not too skinny. Keep the...

    HK tailor for mid-range suits ( $500-700$ )

    Agree. 2.5 days is simply not enough to get a decent custom suit. Custom suits by reputable tailors require at least 4 or 5 weeks to get made.
