    How to get Sunlight Lemon Fresh yellow color out of my shirt collar?

    I was having a very hard time getting sweat stains out of my shirt collars. So I looked for tips online. I ended up saturating a white shirt collar with baking soda, white vinegar, liquid laundry soap, and Sunlight Lemon Fresh dish soap. Now I have a new problem, in that the Sunlight dish...

    Why All the Hate for Hats?

    No, I still can't see why hats have any sort of negative association. Your post cherrypicked some pictures of a few individuals wearing hats that they aren't suited for, badly. That doesn't mean wearing hats itself is bad. Anyone could also just as easily cherrypick pictures of men wearing...

    Need good source for used, double-breasted, full-length navy overcoats

    My old overcoats have fallen apart so I need to buy some new ones. In years past I would solve this problem by finding some on eBAY. But nowadays, that doesn't work anymore, because the selection on eBAY seems to be a lot smaller than it used to be. So everything I can find on eBAY is either...

    The Ultimate Toronto Thread

    No, I haven't asked him - because I have no means by which to contact him since he isn't present at his [apparently former] place of business. I'm a long-time customer of his, but not his personal friend. I figured someone on this forum might know more, but perhaps that is not so. Because...

    The Ultimate Toronto Thread

    I had been seeing Antonio from Antonio's Tailor Shop as my tailor for years, based on his approvals from this forum. Now his shop has moved to a new location in Yorkville. And when I went to visit it, Antonio wasn't there. Instead, a new guy was there who I believe said his name was James...

    What is up with sweaters that have cableknit patterns on the front but no pattern on the back?

    Today I found a Ballantyne sweater that has cableknit pattern on its front side, yet its back side has no pattern. To me this seems weird because I have never seen a sweater like that before. Would most people who see a sweater like that perceive it to be weird? What is the reason why a...

    Which is more respectable: inkjet art prints of famous paintings, or oil painting reproductions of

     How is limited edition not equal to an inkjet reproduction? A limited edition is an injket reproduction isn't it? I could be wrong, but from what I have read about limited edition prints, for no reason that is warranted, they do not have a social stigma attached to them (or else it...

    Which is more respectable: inkjet art prints of famous paintings, or oil painting reproductions of

    Thanks for the insights. Are 1:1 inkjet prints of the original considered to be "more respectable" than reproduced oil paintings? I had that notion before I made this thread, that reproductions are probably considered to be "cheap Fakes." The prevalence of that attitude is a shame IMO...

    Which is more respectable: inkjet art prints of famous paintings, or oil painting reproductions of

     I do not know much about paintings, but in the movies/tv shows I've seen throughout my life, the characters with reproductions of famous paintings are always mocked. I presumed that that attitude is also present in real-life, but maybe it's not. Aren't reproductions of paintings akin to...

    Which is more respectable: inkjet art prints of famous paintings, or oil painting reproductions of

    This thread is asking the question: Which is more respectable: inkjet art prints of famous paintings, or oil painting reproductions of famous paintings? I realize that both options are very bad compared to having the original painting. However, since originals of famous paintings cost...

    Is there any place to purchase pure water for the purpose of hand-washing clothing? Otherwise, what

    No, this post is not a gag. The question in the OP was and is 100% serious. Prior to making this thread, I did not know that "distilled water" was any different than typical bottled water, which is given fancy names like "spring water" even though it is just tap water in bottles. The posts...

    Is there any place to purchase pure water for the purpose of hand-washing clothing? Otherwise, what

     Thanks for the insights. Do those things remove all chlorine, fluoride and every other chemical that has no business touching clothing? I do not know much about this subject, hence I am not aware of if "distilled" water accomplishes that purpose, or if "external osmosis" accomplishes...

    Is there any place to purchase pure water for the purpose of hand-washing clothing? Otherwise, what

    Is there any place to purchase pure water for the purpose of hand-washing clothing? By pure water, I mean water without any of the stuff that is usually found in water as a result of man putting it there, that will be harmful to clothing, like chlorine, fluoride, industrial pollution, remnants...

    MADE IN CHINA

     Most of the time, if the piece is made in a country with respectable manufacturing standards, then the online listing for the piece will name that country, because that is a selling point that the seller will want to use to tempt the people to buy the piece. Conversely, sellers realize...

    About dry cleaning

     But by drycleaning the jacket too, isn't he just swapping one problem for others? Instead of of having the fading problem, won't he (potentially) have problems of the drycleaning weakening the jacket material, and deteriorating the fusibles in it (if there are any)?

    How to deal with B&S Seller

    That's odd. I also have experience winning SNAD disputes with eBAY/Paypal. The most recent was last August/September. After I won those disputes, eBAY/Paypal refused to force the seller to pay me the return shipping costs, or to pay those costs to me themselves. They also told me that the...

    How to deal with B&S Seller

     No, they won't. They will tell the buyer to pay to ship it back with his own money. Unfortunately you are going to lose out on the return shipping costs, unless the seller chooses to pay them for you. If he doesn't choose that, there is not a darn thing you can do about it to get that...

    Canvas and suit construction

    Thanks for this thread, jefferyd. I have read comments that the glue in fusibles is likely to degrade/stop working over time. Can you comment on how true or untrue that idea is?

    How to hand-wash a shirt?

     Thanks for the guide. Have some said that twisting/wringing is bad? Does the idea that twisting/wringing might be bad have merit? I've had a high-end drycleaner mess up MOP buttons on a few different RLPL shirts. I presume they were washed on the delicate cycle and that the buttons are...

     How does Kabbaz account for MOP buttons that will become damaged in the washing machine, as they will if the method is followed as it is described in that guide? I read this thread after first reading threads like these ones...
