    A worthy heir to Sierra Trading Post?

    Back in the day, I used to buy some pretty nice suits at a pretty nice discount at Sierra Trading Post. Golly, this is going back well over a decade ago! I got myself nicely stocked up back then (say, 2005--2010), and popped back once in a while to get a bit more ... last time in 2015. Going...

    Good tailor in Vancouver?

    I've had good experiences with Townline, although it's been a few years since I've been there. http://www.townlinetailors.com/

    Good tailor in Vancouver?

    :slayer: I'm sure the original store ... seems like you are something of a regular customer if you have "your rep" ... or even if you have just shopped there twice .... would be glad of an opportunity to turn a customer into a happy customer. Some of my favourite places to shop are ones that...

    Good tailor in Vancouver?

    Maybe give Oakridge a call and ask them if that's the sort of thing they do, and if so what they'd charge ... saves you a trip there and back if they won't do it, and covers off the money issue before you get there without in-person awkwardness. But then again ... what are you hoping to get...

    Good online source for shoelaces (for dress shoe)

    I need a reliable online source for shoelaces for my dress shoes ... the high quality, waxed laces (rather than the cheap-o ones I can find at Walmart and the other similar retailers in my area.) Many thanks in advance ...

    Good tailor in Vancouver?

     I've had lots of good work done at Oakridge. They are very busy, so yes, there IS a waiting time.

    Good tailor in Vancouver?

     I haven't pulled the trigger on a MTM/bespoke suit from either yet ... life keeps getting in the way and the money goes elsewhere, LOL ... one of these days I will. Interesting that Oakridge may not be doing custom work anymore ... but I was thinking of asking them to do a vest for me...

    Can I "downsize" a shearling coat?

    Thanks for the feedback, guys. I can't take it back as it was a close-out sale (many years ago back when I was fatter and didn't understand my proper size too well.) The material is so thick and wonderful ... not like the overly-shaved thin stuff you normally see nowadays ...that buying a...

    Can I "downsize" a shearling coat?

    I managed to get my hands on a lovely Schott shearling jacket ... shawl collar and raglan sleeves ... at an absolute steal of a price. Unfortunately, the jacket is several sizes too large for me to wear, and looks like an absolute tent on me. Other than that, I absolutely love it, and the...

    Good tailor in Vancouver?

    My condolences on the VCS headaches. I've used Oakridge Tailors and Townline Tailors (downtown) for alterations with great success. I'm thinking of having of (or both?? :nodding:) of them make me a custom suit ... Has anyone out there had experience with Oakridge and/or Townline in terms...

    Good tailor in Vancouver?

     I've had them hem some suits from STP for me, and agree they are very nice to deal with. I had the same experience getting them to pin my sleeves and pants as short as I wanted, but once we got over the initial discussion (and once I cam back a second time and he could see that I really...

    What should a basic professional wardrobe contain?

    Yea, personally if it was my top-5 it'd be replaced with a navy sportcoat. Where do people work that they have to wear suits absolutely all the time? I interviewed at a bunch of the top Canadian law firms last year, and many of the students were wearing business casual. Forget what the other...

    Only one suit - what colour would it be

    bump, waiting for an answer. The only one that comes to my mind is, its the default for many people and too plain??? The "why not a black suit" question has been debated over and over again here ... well, not so much "debated" as "hated on" with most members solidly against them. I'll...

    Umbrella: Cheap out or get something stylish and/or expensive?

    Do you suggest one umbrella per watch? Say I have fifteen Swiss watches ... do I buy 15 SAB umbrellas? Yes, of course. One for each watch. A $50 Timex is just as stylish as a $500 Sekio or a $5000 Rolex. They are look identical from 3 feet away, and certainly from across a table. Watches serve...

    Umbrella: Cheap out or get something stylish and/or expensive?

    How much did you spend on your wristwatch? (Your most expensive one, if you have more than one ...) If you have a $50 Timex, you should buy a cheap folding umbrella. If you have a $500 Seiko, you should buy a good and inexpensive full-size umbrella. If you have a Swiss watch you should buy a...

    Redefining oneself at 40

    Congrats on the major changes and the effort that took. As for lining up a new casual & bus-cas wardrobe, first off, go slow. Add one or two pieces at a time, to make sure that they "fit" ... both physically, and fit your peronality. You are at an age when you can (and should) figure out who...

    Poll: Which Harris Tweed?

    I voted for the blue because that's the one I'd use if I were having a jacket made for me ... to fit my preferences and my existing wardrobe.

    Should groomsmen wear white pocket squares for wedding?

    White is not required (unless they'll be wearing tuxes ... if it's "just suits, another colour is fine.)
