    Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread

     I think I've seen a picture of a piece of cardstock inserted between the tongue and facings (or was it on top of the facings?), but don't remember how the facings were pulled together on the shoe.

    @ntempleman : ^ Why aren't the eyelets used while the uppers are being lasted? Doesn't this method leave marks/holes?

    The Official Alden Thread for 2016 - Share reviews, sizing, advice, and photos.

    Wanted Antique edges on my 975s for a while now, but was too lazy to do it myself. Asked my cobbler to do it when he replaced the worn heel toplifts last week. Very pleased with the result.

     Very nice. @plot Q: is it a solid 1 piece bezel or does it have a (seperate) bezel insert?

    East Sicily Tailors

    ^ Forgot: I'd rather risk being 'one of those customers everyone complains about' than being unhappy with results because of miscommunication. Tbh, I don't think the alteration guys mind. If anything, they always seem happy that I like their work and keep coming back to them.

     I print this out and stuff it in the breast pocket when I drop off a jacket for alterations:

    East Sicily Tailors

     My default is two buttons with 1'' between the buttonholes. First suit I had done with 2 button sleeves was spaced a little wider, with exactly the width of a button between the 2 buttons. It does look a bit odd, but I've also seen this wider placement on a bunch of old pics, so...

    @UrbanComposition Just curious: when have a suit jacket and pents made by 2 different makers, does the tailor who makes the jacket provide you with the trim (i.e. buttons and such) for the pents?

     Yabut they should post some info about each available fabric, i.e. composition, mill, weight... Hard to judge fabrics with just a pic like that. That Lazio looks very nice. How's the fabric?

    Thanks guys. I had seen the Traveller Havana suit separates, but could've sworn I read somewhere in this thread that SS could swap the suit trousers on a non-separate suit.

    Suitsupply NYC

     Can you point me to which suits are available to order with different sized trousers and jackets? I don't think you can filter for that on their website, can you? Re cuffing: I like 1.75'' cuffs with minimal/no break. Need 4.38'' fabric for that. So their 31'' hemmed inseam + 1.5''...

     I received my first SS purchase this week, a Blue Lazio suit, and have also been very pleased with the whole experience. Fabric is a lovely color irl. Thought I'd post a bit of info here (mostly things I was curious about pre-purchase), in case it can be useful to someone else: - 1st...

    Lobb resole

     Well, there's this guy. He has installed flush mounted taps for me in the past and I've been pleased with his work. Never had him do a resole for me and doubt he offers his services by mail, so probably not very useful for you. Maybe have a look at @randythecobbler? Don't know if your...
