    Out of curiosity, who do you use for pressing (assuming you are still in the Metroplex)? Thanks.

    The Anderson & Sheppard Expatriates Thread

    I like that a lot. Unfortunately, I will be out of town and will miss Steed when they roll through Texas next week (my second or third miss in a row— I’m a bad customer). I’m always worried that guys with weird schedules like me are the reason traveling tailors stop coming to places like Dallas...

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    You should have told him that he’ll be ok in blue/gray unless he adds a fake badge to the outfit. Then all bets are off.

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    I have a navy suit from Steed that they referred to as a “hopsack” (it’s from the Botany book, but I can’t remember the number), and it doesn’t look rustic at all. I occasionally use the jacket separately, but it really is too smooth to be ideal for that purpose— not that anyone really notices...

    MyTailor (Hemrajani Bros.) Appreciation/Discussion Thread

    For those of you who have used the full bespoke service, is there a house style/silhouette that you stick with, or do you just work something out with Joe? I apologize if this has been answered before; I read through this thread, but didn’t quite see what I was looking for. Also, I know several...

    Storing suit in suit supply garment bag. Is it okay?

    Point taken. Taxi seats off-gas like crazy.

    Storing suit in suit supply garment bag. Is it okay?

    The hybrid plastic/cotton bags from Container Store are made of PEVA, or polyethylene vinyl acetate. I’ve seen PEVA described as a less-toxic alternative to PVC. I’ll leave it up to the experts to tell us whether that’s true or not, and whether PEVA off-gasses. As I’ve said, I’ve never...

    The Anderson & Sheppard Expatriates Thread

    Thank you all for the responses. I live close to J’s. I may give them a whirl when I get ready to bite the bullet. Shipping a suit to one of the specialty places is probably easy enough; it just seems like a chore. Chris Despos recommended a cleaners over on Southwestern and Greenville (I...

    The Anderson & Sheppard Expatriates Thread

    Slightly off topic, but related: do you guys send your Steed stuff to local dry cleaners when necessary, or do you send to some specialist shop like Rave in Arizona? And if you happen to know a good cleaners in the Dallas area (Mark in Plano?), that would be great, too. I typically take the “dry...

    Storing suit in suit supply garment bag. Is it okay?

    Has anyone ever actually experienced the “off-gas” phenomena? I have 10 or so plastic/cotton hybrid bags from the Container Store (all cotton back with plastic front) that I’ve been using for a decade or so without any issues. Is it more a problem with all plastic bags? I only buy the all cotton...

    That looks great, Mark. I hated to miss them in Dallas (my second miss in a row). I hope they are getting enough action to keep coming.

    Best Place to get a suit in Dallas?

    Then stick with SuitSupply. No shame in that, especially if you like the cut. Paying big money for mtm or bespoke that doesn’t fit your esthetic is a waste of money, no matter how well made it is.

    Good call.

    Best Place to get a suit in Dallas?

    Congrats on your upcoming wedding. I’m a happy Steed customer, and I think their mtm option is within your budget. But I wouldn’t classify their cut as slim and modern. If I were you, I would check out the mtm program at Pockets. Korshak is also worth a look, but, in all honesty, their prices...

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    I just looked back through my phone and I had a picture of 47509. That must be it.

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    I have a dark gray sharkskin Steed suit out of the Fine Classics book and I love it. I scrounged around and can’t find the number, but It sounds like you are looking for something a shade lighter anyway.

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    I just did it and you are right. I fixated on the weight, but the 10/11 swatch is very open. More open than my 9/10 swatch (which doesn’t say high twist).
