Taking in sides of Leather Pea coat?
I have a Schott leather pea coat, black "Naked cowhide", model 140. I love the basic rugged workmanship and the leather quality. But it has a very boxy, square line look - I prefer the tapered, narrow waisted silhouette of the old WWII USN Kersey pea coats. Assuming I bring the old wool coat and...- pgoat

Taking in big shirts
I have several shirts that are way too voluminous in the torso and upper arm area. This is probably because I need a 17 neck; the shirts are usually sized like an XL and have 48-52" chests (I am stocky but only about a 44 chest, 37" waist, and am trying to lose more weight) I realize...- pgoat

2 Oxxford DB Suits from the late 80s MTM?
Hey gents I have decided on selling two Oxxford double-breasted suits that I picked up from an estate sale last year. I had hoped to drop 25-30 pounds by the winter but I only lost about 10 and seem to be stuck. My wife agrees we need the closet space so unworn stuff has to go...... The suits...- pgoat

I have two suits I now hate thanks to the SF - they were ealry buys for me before I knew better. Both are DBs from the mid 90s. Both are dept. store brands. I would probably get only $5-10 bucks on ebay even though one is New, never worn and the other only worn a few times. here's the question...- pgoat

How much can pants be taken in?
I am ready to pull the trigger on a suit (new unaltered) that appears to be a great fit except for the waist of the pants - they are a 42. I now wear pants with waist of (actual size - I measure with mm laid flat and double) 39-41.5. I can do 38.5" but they are snug. So I could do these new...- pgoat

I know this info is all over the forum but can we do a quick concise list (just the numbers) for up-to-date cost comparison? This would be for Entry level fabrics, obviously costs can escalate quickly with better fabrics. I'd be interested in price options to get into a suit that is MTM /...- pgoat

MTM vs. Alterations???
I've already thought long and hard between Bespoke and Alterations, though in the end it comes down to : Can I afford Bespoke? or Can I get by with MTM? If I could find a good fit in OTR I'd gladly stick with that but I have been pushed into my first MTM by years of frustration over various...- pgoat

Jacket shortening questions
I picked up a used Oxxford suit on ebay and it has two jacket issues - 1. a small moth hole near the hem on one side. 2. it is a Tall, with a 32" hem - I typically need a 31" to get the best rear coverage vs. leg lengthening. I would like to avoid reweaving expenses and kill both birds with...- pgoat

what percentage of your income goes to clothes?

converting double breasted to single?
I recently picked up a copy of the 1960n Esquire with George Frazier's oft-quoted and referenced article on the art of dressing.

help me decide on these three thrift shop suits
I picked up three suits at a local shop very inexpensively. No dressing room, and I realized when I got home the pants all were too short by 2.5 to 3". They have cuffs, so I guess I could get them altered cheaply at the cleaners, and wear with plain bottoms - problem is, I really prefer cuffs...- pgoat
