    Light winter coat advice? (with some pics)

    I am increasingly at a loss to find a coat or jacket that can be worn in 40ish degree (F) weather. I have come across a few items that I think might work, but none of them seem to grab me as being exactly what I need. I am traveling in China for a few weeks, and will be in places where the temps...

    Moths all over the place (please help me)

    About a week ago, I moved into my new apartment. It's a loft on the edge of some woods and a beautiful gorge. During the daytime, it's wonderful. I can see the gorge, hear the birds, kick back, and enjoy myself. At night, I AM IN SHEER TERROR. At night, it is MOTH FEST. I don't have A/C so I...

    Tuxedo shirt style - your thoughts?

    I recently purchased a peak lapel tuxedo, single button, basically the same as in the Daniel Craig picture below. It came with a vest, but I'm not much of a vest person and will likely go without it whenever I wear the tux. (Same for cummerbunds - I'd rather go without.) But what should I get...

    Harris Tweed (or other tweed) fabric suppliers

    I'm looking to get a sportcoat made in plain brown or brown herringbone tweed. I'd go with the Brooks or J. Press options, except I really like side vents and I'm somewhat particular about jacket length. So I need to find some brown tweed fabric. Does anyone know of any reputable suppliers that...

    Quick Jantzen question re: fit

    I'm trying to make some changes to my Jantzen measurements for the next order, and am wondering about the best way to do it. The chest on the shirt seems to be fine, as well as the sleeve length. However, it's tight across the back to the point where if I bring my arms forward, my sleeves come...

    Royal Label Collection suits - any info out there?

    Has anyone tried the Royal Label package? It's offered by a number of high-end menswear stores in the USA. I just took a look at the fabric books at my local shop, and the fabrics are very nice, so I'm just wondering about the quality of the finished product. According to my local menswear guy...

    Help identifying a briefcase

    I saw a black leather hard-sided briefcase as I was walking to lunch yesterday. It really caught my eye. It was just a regular briefcase with a handle on top and a standard "clamshell" style opening, but its end profile was very rounded. It looked a touch retro and smacked of Danish design. I...

    1976 Judgment of Paris reenacted, California wins

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/5013910.stm Interesting story about the famous 1976 wine tasting and the reenactment yesterday. I thought this bit was funny: "I'm very impressed," said Christian Vanneque, a French judge who was at the original tasting in 1976. "I don't know if I will be...

    Recommend Chicago tailor / custom suit maker?

    First and foremost, I'd like to find someone in Chicago who can make me a suit for a reasonable (~$1000 or less) price. Nothing fits me off the rack, and the MTM folk don't really know what they're doing because they only rely on measurements taken by others. I guess I'd be looking for a Mr...

    Critique Dan Senor's Wedding Suit

    Wish there was a bigger picture, but here you go. I think, personally, they look very good together, but both clothing selections leave a bit to be desired. The AP caption: Campbell Brown, left, co-anchor of NBC News' 'Weekend Today' and primary correspondent for 'NBC Nightly News with Brian...
