    Sacred Blue?

    Since I live overseas and am totally not in touch with what's going on with streetwear, I have no idea about the quality of this brand. I am interested in knowing about it because I am in desparate need of good jeans and would very much like to get them from eBay, since paying $100+ retail for a...

    New suit.

    This is the suit in all its glory. I like how it fits. The trousers need a bit of work at the bottoms. Long story short: My calves protrude to the sides, very hard to correct with trousers' cut since I like them cut on the narrow side. It doesn't bother me that much, though; at least the...

    List of online MTM shirtmakers

    Someone posted a list of online made-to-measure shirtmakers, and I can't seem to find it. Anyone know what I'm talking about, or have a link?

    Hay guys, I owe a court $633.00

    I get this letter in the mail from the "California Service Bureau" saying that I owe the Yolo County Superior Court $633.00. There are two amazing facts that I'm sure these idiots have failed to realize: 1. I left California in the summer of 2002, and 2. I'm in Korea. I did some BBB...

    Inclement weather gear

    ... or rain or the mud/slush that lingers afterwards. Winter's coming here in Seoul, and that means lots of gunk piled onto streets and sidewalks. I don't feel like taking my Super 150's and Handgrades out for a stroll through it all, and seeing as how I often have to trek through the more...

    Metals

    So here's the deal. My briefcase has nickel hardware, my Seymours have brass buckles, my belt has a nickel buckle, and my cufflinks are silver. My next pair of trousers will have brass buckles on the side tabs. Is there some kind of rule or "proper way" to match the metals you're...

    My first sportcoat!

    I'm going to get my first sportcoat. It's actually something of a "test" to give my tailor to see whether or not he can pull off the "pagoda shoulders" displayed by some Neapolitan jackets. That having been said, I'm wondering what a good starter color/pattern would be. I'm...

    C&j seymours came in the mail

    Thanks to AJL for sending me the Seymours. Although they were too tight for his feet, they are a perfect fit for mine. The finish is wonderful. AJL correctly described it as an "antiqued red mahogany." I don't know what color cream or polish to use for this. I would go with neutral...

    Interested in buying ties

    The title says it all. I've been looking for thin ties for quite a while now, and with no luck. I'm looking for something of good quality, preferably in solid black.

    Casual style

    I'm trying to apply all what I've learned into casual style. I'm already well ahead of the curve with regards to business dress and whatnot, but I'm completely lost when it comes to dressing for the street. I was thinking about going for that rumpled dress shirt + sweater + jeans + jacket...

    Just what i'll do for beauty

    Recently I've been going on a real improving-my-looks binge. It started innocently enough: getting braces for teeth that could benefit from being straighter. Although I'm not going full-on plastic surgery makeover, I'm still going through a bit of hell with some recent treatments: further...

    My awesome dental diagnosis.

    Today I went to an opening of a friend's mother's friend's new dental clinic. I took advantage of the opportunity to talk to the lady about my wisdom teeth problem. They're impacting and I was asking if I couldn't make an appointment with her to get them removed. So, she agreed to do a full...

    Dealing with dark spots on shoes

    Remember those cool C&J handgrades I posted pictures of a while back? Well, my right shoe met the curb today, and there's a scratch right on the toe of the cap. I tried polishing it over, and now the scratch is surrounded by a nice, dark spot which I can't seem to remove. Help.

    Thanks to everyone on this board and over at Ask Andy's, I've managed to gather the following helpful recommendations on suits for us height-disadvantaged people. Special thanks goes to Spalla, for his extremely insightful recommendations on European tailoring. The jacket: - The waist button...

    Question on suit brand

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws....hosting Look on the fourth close-up picture to see the suit's sleeve label. Has anyone else heard of the label, "Facis"? I understand it to be a line of clothing produced by South Korea's LG Fashion, but from what I can tell on the homepage (www.facis.co.kr) it appears...

    "bone" colored suede shoes: what to wear with them

    I recently scored a pair of bone-colored suede Ferragamos off of eBay (40 bux lol) and I'm running through some ideas of what to pair them with. (By "bone" I mean sort of off-white: not quite tan, but whiter than that.) I'll probably slog around in them with jeans, but they look too...

    Some questions regarding pleated trousers

    I don't wear these often, because I've had very bad experiences with them making me look 50 years older than I really am, especially when my jacket's off. I'm getting a suit made, and I chose to have my trousers pleated, because I'm also tired of flat-front pants squeezing my butt whenever I sit...

    Alfred sargent - ok shoes?

    I was browsing through Pediwear (www.pediwear.co.uk) and have been looking at the shoes made by Alfred Sargent. A lot of them are listed as having channeled soles, and the prices are very, very reasonable (a little over 100 pounds for some of them.) Can anyone vouch for their quality, or the...

    Trouser fork/jacket armhole size question

    How low/large are these supposed to be? I hear of ready-made manufacturers making the trouser forks low and armholes large to facilitate fitting on various body shapes and sizes, but as for bespoke tailoring, how are these supposed to fit?

    Ebay hilarity

    Check out the guy's auction here. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws....y=11503 See those shoes? He claims these are Allen-Edmonds "Berkley." Nevermind that big "Crockett & Jones" stamp there in the footpad. Good going there, buddy.
