    I am a hard size to fit. I recently came upon a tux jacket on eBay that looks pretty great and will fit me. It does not, however, come with pants. Is it a fool's errand to buy this jacket and then hunt for pants that match? I recall seeing a post on Put This On about a guy that succeeded in...

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    Has anyone had a bicycle jersey made? Obviously it would require the right fabric but it was the navy sport mesh that gave me the idea.

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

     Your picture seems to represent that the new shirt is straight across the bottom-front, at least for a bit. In contrast, the Epaulet shirt maintains a constant curve across the bottom-front. Am I seeing this correctly and if so is it safe to assume you are still happy with the look when the...

     It depends on who you ask. Some people say they are terrible some people think they are serviceable. I am in the second camp and have been happy with the tie that I bought from them. Can't beat that price, either.

    Indochino suits?

     I don't understand this criticism, I am not even sure what I am looking for. Can you explain this a little bit more?

    Remedying a Collar Gap Issue With Online MTM

    I have had one suit made by Indochino. Present in the suit was the collar gap problem outlined in Put This On. What changes can I make to my measurements, or what other instruction can I provide, in order to and avoid this problem when dealing with this or other online MTM providers?

     If your tailor can't slim down a shirt, that is more than not good, that is full on incompetent. My guess is that if you take it in to them they will have no problem getting the job done. This is tailoring 101. Also, depending on how much you need it brought in, you don't necessarily...

    I am looking for standard grey flannel pants. Around what weight should the fabric be? Ideally they would wear pretty warm as I live in the midwest.

    Stiff shoulders from biking

    Weak abdominal and back muscles. Potentially your bars are too low. My core was my problem. I just focused more on using my abs and back to hold myself, instead of leaning on the bars, and it made a world of difference. Next time you ride, take note of how much weight your are putting on your...

    General Bike Thread (Desiderata, Questions, Pics)

    It's such a minor effort to put grease on the threads, why wouldn't you? For no other reason than to avoid running to the hardware store to buy the grease, and then having a tube of grease laying around that I will likely never use again.

    General Bike Thread (Desiderata, Questions, Pics)

    Do any of you guys use "no nose" or "split nose" seats? I hate the numbness associated with a ride and then I read this NY Times Article about these seats. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/28/science/28tier.html

    Removing chest pocket from shirt

    I have done it a couple of time just using a sharp pocket knife to cut through the threads. I washed them and there were no signs of holes. One was an OCBD and one was pinpoint, both came out fine. The OCBD was an old shirt, too, which had been washed several times already.

    General Bike Thread (Desiderata, Questions, Pics)

    When installing your own pedals, how important is it that one acutally put grease of the threads before installing? Is my only risk that i won't be able to back the pedal back out if/when I want a new one?

    Hmm. No reply to my inquiry about two toned shoes. OK, I'll try this question. I saw these sandals on someone the other day and actually thought they didn't look bad. http://www.aldoshoes.com/ca-eng/men/...-gyllensten/22 Am I crazy? You are bat-**** crazy. Those look an awful lot like the...

    I have a fully lined linen jacket. Can the lining be taken out of the back panel without compromising the integrity of the jacket?

    Baskeball Shoes for Flat Feet

    Any recommendations? I wear Brooks Beast for running, but I can't find a consistent recommendation for ball shoes. This most recent city league season caused me a lot of pain.

    General Bike Thread (Desiderata, Questions, Pics)

    When I got my bike I was pretty sure I didn't want clipless pedals, but after a few weeks of commuting, I feel like they may do me good. I would probably get the type where they are 1/2 clipless and 1/2 platform, because I also use my bike for quick errands and things. . . . What about shoes...

    Indochino suits?

    would love to see some pics too! Unlikely to happen. I have neither the time nor the desire to be criticized. For what it is worth, I think that my suit fits similarly to LorenzL's.
