    Wrinkled Lapel, Canvassed Suit

    There is no claim of a fully canvassed suit. In fact, they go to great pains not to say that. A floating chest piece is approximately 1/3 of the upper front of the jacket. The facings were either not fused correctly or the fusible is of such low quality that it has shrunk from heat/steam applied...

    What color shirt goes with my jacket and pants?

    Too much blue and too much pattern. White or cream shirt or a very pale pastel and the camel tie would work, depending on the fabric of the tie.

    Suitsupply NYC

    I too had a similar conundrum. I phoned customer service and found that the suits were coming from the Netherlands and would ship from New Jersey once they arrived in the US. The next day, they shipped and are scheduled to arrive Wednesday the 10th, a full 22 days after placing the order. So...

    Rock hard leather inner and outer soles can beat your poor feet to a pulp. Here's what I do....

    No, I find leather infinitely more comfortable. The forum has not died, but only those questions of interest are answered.

    Can i change jacket sleeves from R to S

    Actually, it can be done quite easily. Shortening the sleeves that far usually requires slimming down the sleeve and you can gain the extra fabric to recreate the vent. Still takes a relatively skilled alterations person, but not of the same level as shortening from the shoulder. I've done many...

    Herring Shoes - Experiences?

    tdolly, Herring went above and beyond for you. After six months, most retailers would have just said that is normal wear and tear. You are a completely unreasonable and out of line.

    Herring Shoes - Experiences?

    DHL will bill you after the fact for customs duties. They never forget to do so... anywhere between 3 and 10 weeks in most cases.

    Fake Ralph Lauren Polo shirt???

    clearly not what was listed for sale. As previous posters have stated, it is printed, not embroidered, the copy is not correct and this is exactly what buyer protection is for.

    Corthay

    My experience matches yours completely. St. Crispin wins hands down on all points. For the small price difference there is a world of difference in the experience.

    Cheap places to buy Corduroy jeans/pants?

    The GAP brands ( GAP, Banana Republic, and Old Navy) and their respective Factory Stores and Outlets have a pretty wide variety of 100% cotton choices. Picked up 2 pair from the Banana Republic Factory Store for right around $35 - sale ends Monday

    C&J Chertsey (Last 224) fit issue

    Suede is quite easy to stretch. Just wetting with water (not dripping wet and not just damp, but evenly moist) and wearing them around the house will do in. Wear them until they are dry. Alternatively, there are many commercial preparations available to aid the stretching process, and any...

    Prince Michael has never given a damn about what anyone thinks of anything he does. He is a very interesting man, and his wife, Princess Michael, has much the same attitude. I have had the pleasure to make their highness' acquaintance, and they are always amazingly gracious and he, in...

    Comment by 'TomW' in item 'Allen-Edmonds Men's Leeds Oxfords,Black,10 C'

    Regarding blacks that don't match, that is one of the joys and heartaches of Shell. One piece of Shell is enough to make one shoe. Two pieces are required for a pair and due to the nature of the leather, no tow are ever an exact match. Even in one shoe, you will find variations in color. Enjoy...
