    Where to find linen polo shirts?

    AFAIK, Uniqlo doesn't carry linen polos? (Their linen shirts a great value.)

    Denim in Osaka

    I was wondering if folks might be kind enough to recommend shops in Osaka where I could learn a bit about denim? I'll be there for three days and thought it might be a nice opportunity to learn something new--and perhaps to pick up a new pair of jeans. I'm not very knowledgeable about...

    Why the sudden proliferation of stretch fabrics?

    I understand why stretch is useful. Why now? I do think @paxonus 's response makes sense.

    Why the sudden proliferation of stretch fabrics?

    Hi folks. I have a quick question. Over the past two years, I've noticed that larger brands like J. Crew have started incorporated more stretch fabrics into their khakis and jeans. Do you know why? Is this a fad, or were there recently improvements in the available fabrics that enabled this...

    Casual sportcoat for travel? Or a fabric?

    Thanks @comrade . I don't live in Singapore, I just get my suits made there. That's good to know re: lined vs. unlined.

    Casual sportcoat for travel? Or a fabric?

    Hi, I am looking for a navy, dark brown, or olive sportcoat for travel. I'd like the coat to be comfortable and resist wrinkling somewhat, to have patch pockets, and to be unlined. It should also be tough enough that I don't have to be gentle with it. There's a decent chance I'll end up at...

    Hong Kong tailor Edward Tam "E.Italian"

    Update: I was less happy w/ the second batch of shirts I ordered (after ~5 years). He seemed to have deviated a bit from the original pattern, and the shirts did not fit as well. Tough to fix given that I'm not in HK often. Oh well.

    What trousers w/ grey suede loafers?

    Elephant seems accurate. Thanks for all the feedback, including the criticism of the socks. Very helpful. Light grey trousers would be OK? I wasn't sure if they'd look too similar?

    What trousers w/ grey suede loafers?

    Just got these: What color/fabric trousers would you pair them with? I thought they looked good w/ blue/navy, but wasn't sure about grey, khaki, etc. Thoughts? Thanks!

    Hong Kong tailor Edward Tam "E.Italian"

    Anyone have up-to-date contact information for Mr. Tam? The email I have does not work anymore. Also, FWIW, I have been wearing his shirts for 5 years and have been very satisfied.

    Comment by 'kaxixi' in article 'Going Places: A Brief Trip to Naples'

    My younger brother studied in Naples for a year, and we have since become friends with his host family, whom we've visited a few times. Your write-up is great, even for someone who is familiar with Naples. Thanks! Photos from my last trip to Naples are available in this album...

    Sourcing Sustainable Shirting Cloth

    A friend is creating a batch of shirts to raise money for charity, and is looking to make them using a sustainable fabric (they'll be sewn here in the US to ensure good labor practices, too). He's looking for something simple, probably an oxford cotton, though he's open to alternatives. The...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

    Thanks for all the comments, folks. Point taken on the watch. Time to repair the Seiko. Was surprised about the unanimous preference for socks, but noted. HF, the tie and PS are black. The stripe on the suit is also black. They also offered it in the same fabric with a light blue stripe.
