    Epaulet shop - Official Affiliate thread

     I received a message from Epaulet about an hour ago that said there was a bit of a delay from Hertling. Most of the orders will be sent out today and tomorrow.

    Oak Street Bootmakers

     A couple of days ago, I received a pair of the bourbon wingtips. Here are a few photos: My initial impression is positive, albeit with qualifications (see, for example, the last photo). My full review is here: http://classicamericanstyle.net/?p=2844

    Folded Up Shirt Appreciation

    Four new arrivals from Hamilton--one is hiding. This one is my favorite. It's a pink and purple stripe with a contrasting white club collar: You can read more about them on my blog: classicamericanstyle.net

    Question about matching

    Sorry to say, but I vote no. You need to get those trousers hemmed up; they're simply too long.

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

     Any experience with how the Finmeresco compares to the Minni's Fresco and the Holland & Sherry Crispaire? I have suits in the latter two, but nothing in the Finmeresco.

    What is the price range for a "High-quality" suit?

    Depends on what you mean by "really nice suit." You could, for example, get a Hickey Freeman suit on sierratradingpost, for around $500 (using one of the many discounts they e-mail on a daily basis). That would be better than what 95% of men are wearing.

    Be a Classy Gentleman™: Tie Your Shoes Symmetrically

     In all seriousness? If so, what's your differential? Mine's a full size-and-a-half, the result of early action to correct my club foot.

    Hermes bow ties question

     A second vote for Sam Hober. David (the proprietor of Sam Hober) is a genuine pleasure to work with.

    Slim or Tailored Fit Traditional English Tattersall Shirt?

    I know neither where you're located nor what your particular financial situation is, but if you can swing it and if you have a shirtmaker close to you, try the custom route. In general, it's only a modest premium over higher end, off-the-rack shirts.

    The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

    While not a men's item, my daughter and I were out thrifting last weekend, and we found a made in the USA L.L. Bean sweater for her, in just about perfect shape.

     From what I can see, it looks very nice. Any pics of the full jacket?

    Bespoke suit London. Possible for a tourist?

     A good list. I would also add Henry Poole.

     Thanks. It's #0552 from the Minnis II book. It's listed as a mid grey, but the grey seems on the lighter side of the mid spectrum to me.

    Latest acquisition, three-piece with DB vest in the Minnis Fresco.

    Best Suit Maker in Texas? (Houston/Austin/Dallas/SA)

     This is correct. Chan is my go-to now, but last year I did get a pair of dinner trousers from Nick.

     I saw the Crispaire and the Finmerescro, and I think I remember the Cape Kid being there, but I have no idea if the Gilt Twist made the trip from Kowloon. If you're interested in an open weave summer fabric, he also had the Minnis Fresco II. I ended up pulling the trigger on a double...

     I didn't have an order in November, but I did have a fitting, and I received the finished suit some time ago. About two weeks ago, my son received his basted suit for his fitting, which was yesterday.
