    Alterations Tailor in Downtown Toronto

    I can't recall the name of the tailor but there's a fantastic one in the little "plaza" that has the LV store near it on Bloor. Somewhere around Avenue and Bloor. I really wish I could be more help than that but I have had great luck with them the few times I've been in TO looking...

    Do Not Wash, Do Not Dryclean

    That is very nice, where did you get it? And how much? Thanks! It's by Boss Selection and I got it for an outstanding price! It's a sample sweater so I can't tell you whether it was mass produced, but if it were it would be in stores now as it is a current season sample from what I remember the...

    Do Not Wash, Do Not Dryclean

    Do not get dirty? I bought this sweater yesterday and noticed when I came home that the tag reads, and I quote, "Do not wash. Do not bleach. Do not iron. Do not tumble dry. Do not dry clean." Thus I thought to myself, what in the hell do I do if I spill mustard on this, a thought that often...

    What do you think of my suit?

    I think it's fantastic. You COULD go with a longer sleeve by a very tiny amount but I actually think it looks rather good. There's a small fold over the mid-back you can see in the second photo but beyond that I think the cut of the suit is excellent for your frame. Who's the maker? I must...

    Arnold Brant Overcoat - Mink???

    I have a coat with the same mix and it wears similar to all my other wool, wool/cashmere, and cashmere coats safe for it has a softer hand and a more "hairlike" texture to my eye. Beyond that I find 15% of anything rarely makes much difference in warmth for an overcoat to the point...

    "uneducated and uninformed"

    I work for a major international clothing and lifestyle company and I still get trouble from my boss specifically about my pocket squares. In fact, the truth is I am the only one who actually wears them. I also used to get hassled for my rather colourful sock collection but both have become...

    Can anyone identify these shoes???

    The Joker had the weirdest shoes! I do, however, like his socks very much!

    Shoe Damage Report & Appreciation Central - Part I

    those look fairly pimpish. but not the most horribly pimpish ever. ostrich shoes are hard to pull off because everyone presumes they are fake ostrich I saw kitonbrioni sporting some a few times over on his site and thought I'd take a stab at it myself. I'm still unsure how to wear them but I...

    Shoe Damage Report & Appreciation Central - Part I

    I took a very random plunge yesterday and purchased a pair of ostrich shoes. No idea how or where I will wear them yet but I have every intention of sporting them within a week....tell me what you think. Hopefully not TOO pimpish...I'm very conscious of that.

    Quick question, what kind of collar is this?

    I'd go for the Semi-spread (#3), 1 1/2" back height, 2 1/2" point length, edge stitching (or none at all), 1/2" of tie space, and a medium interlining at most. I could be way off but that's how it looks to me.

    Is this Corneliani tuxedo worth its price?

    I don't like it...detail-wise it's up there for my taste but size-wise I think it makes you look really short and lost in the outfit. I've seen Corneliani in the 1200 range, I'm sure, and in Canada they regularly go for 1600-1800 if memory serves. At any rate, for the price I think you could...

    French cuff buttons

    Make 'em yourself...buy two buttons and some thread, sew them together with a gap in between and wrap the thread around up the length of the shank. For fifty bucks I'll make them for you

    He just threw it down.

    I went to dinner with the VP of a company I used to work at with some of my coworkers, a Christmas party. Bill came to about 1500 for the lot of us. He left a cash tip of 50. It wasn't until later in the evening that the arithmetic started to set in and I began to comprehend what had just...

    Excuse me, do you work here?

    Yesterday someone mistook me for a bus rental shop owner. Over the phone. Wrong number. Sigh.

    Thrift Store Haul: Please critique fit and suggest tailoring!

    Re: Major Problems: The HF looks gigantic in the waist and shoulders to me. The Oxxford also looks a little large in the shoulders but not nearly as bad, and the seat is too tight. I'll let the others weigh in on whether they think I'm right but I imagine the HF will either cost an arm and...

    Saddest Clothing Losses

    I spilled chocolate on my favourite tie a couple years back and had to take it to the cleaners that evening. They subsequently pressed the hell out of my it and now my tie has no body or shape left in it. What a shame. That and wearing through the legs on my trousers really ticks me off.

    Matching a Striped Suit with a Striped Tie

    I'd rather the button down with the yellow tie if I was wearing the outfit myself, though I'd prefer the BD wasn't BD in the first place as I hate them when paired with suits. That said I think the stripes are more flattering toward the outfit.

    Wear on the Toes

    I just don't like the sound metal taps make on any sort of flooring other than carpet which is why I won't put them on anymore. I also agree about slippage - first time some years ago I had metal heel taps put on and never considered such a thing and ended up doing an unintentional electric...
