    Drape tutorial?

    I've been off StyleForm for about a week because I think I need a break from this site. But wanted to log in to thank you for resurrecting this thread. I really enjoyed reading through all of it. The posts from Vox, Manton, Tuttee, JefferyD, Sator, and many others really strike a contrast to...

    What to choose between Vass and Antonio Meccariello

    I also prefer Vass to Antonio Meccariello. While I'm sure you can squeeze a pair of tasteful, sensible shoes from them, many of their customers seem to go wild with options, like guys who have too many options in custom suiting and end up ordering tight jackets with contrast stitching and...

    Yet another wedding advice thread

    I assume the Polo RL suit is the navy one in your two photos? If so, it looks really nice on you. Unfortunately, I don't know the RTW market very well, so I don't know what to recommend. Perhaps someone else can chime in. Regarding the two S&M jackets you posted 1. The patterned jacket: I...

    I think you mistake me insulting you as being riled and not pleasure.

    Ongoing Bespoke Projects

    Really sorry to hear about your home. I live in the same area and remember the smoke from that year's fire. I'm glad you made it out alive, although I can't imagine a more horrific non-lethal experience. I remember attending a wedding once and sitting across the table from a couple who had just...

    Ongoing Bespoke Projects

    I think of C&M as being a descendent of Tommy Nutter and thus has some of that flair. Huntsman by comparison is more conservative "British gentleman"

    No, the second person is a smart man and the first is a dumb man. They are two different people.

    The Way They Wore: Images from the Past

    There are a few tailors in that set of photos, and they were made during different time periods. As you know, these garments were drafted and cut by Paone when he was at Rubinacci. They were made in the mid-2000s. I agree these don't look like my first set of photos in that post. The first set...

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    Has anyone here had anything made from Mersolair's mohair-linen? The fabrics seem interesting for summer, but I wonder if they drape well at this weight (280 grams) and if people use them for daytime or night. I typically only wear mohair in the evening. Is there a good reason why someone would...

    The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

    They are commonly advertised as handrolled and -sewn, but they are almost always machine-made. Sort of like how a lot of clothes are advertised as being handmade or -sewn, but they too are machine-made. The hand part is the operator pushing a piece of fabric through a machine. When people use...

    The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

    I don't believe Drake's accessories have handrolled edges. They are all machine rolled and sewn, like Rubiancci's pocket squares.

    Alternatives to Paul Stuart suits (ny)

    In theory, yes, but as @taxgenius said, many traditional, top-end bespoke tailoring houses nowadays use block patterns. I Sarti Italiani also does three fittings but plots patterns using a computer-aided design program. I think the generalizations about bespoke vs. MTM capture the general...
