    The Taobao retailers thread

    For those of us with easy access to Taobao, I thought it'd be good to compile a list of brands we've tried. I've tried the following brands: 1. Caroline Murat - wonderful styling and quality. I have a Balmacaan, a trench, 2 MTM shirts, a few polos, and a few scarves from them. The only downside...

    Solaro sportcoat?

    I'm considering making a Solaro sportcoat. (No plans for making a Solaro suit). However, 99% of the pictures I see of Solaro tailoring online are of Solaro suits. Is there a particular reason why Solaro odd jackets seem to be rare? Has anyone owned a Solaro sportcoat? Do you think it would...

    Why do these lapels look too narrow?

    MTM jacket. Lapels are 3.25 inches. Shoulder is 45cm. Chest is 100cm. By my measurements, the widest point of the lapel is more than the halfway point across the chest. So why does the lapel still feel too narrow? I can think of a few reasons: 1. Gorge shape is weird 2. Collar is too small 3...

    I'm in HK so Nov-Feb is around 14-24 Celsius. Coldest days (late Dec and Jan) prob around 14-21 on average. I get cold easily. I'm looking at new overcoating fabrics. Found a beautiful 500g 75% wool 25% cashmere. Currently have a 600g 70% wool 30% polyester balmacaan that I wear all the...

    What is the spring/fall outerwear equivalent of Oxford/chinos/loafers?

    What do you guys wear when you need to wear a piece of outerwear over your Oxford/chinos/loafers outfit but you want to keep the overall vibe of that outfit? Most sport coats feel too dressy (except for maybe a completely unstructured cotton jacket) Knits are too “soft” and don’t feel as...

    The Official-ish Hong Kong Thread

    I'm sure there's a ton of HK (and Singaporean) people on this thread but I wanted to make a thread for HKers as distinct from the HK tailors thread. So uh........how many times have you seen Mark Cho around Landmark?

    Suits in Tenet

    I actually quite enjoyed Tenet. All that aside can we talk about the menswear on display in the film - The maligned Brooks Brothers suit was I though actually quite nice lol. Apart from the sleeves being too long. But I like the lower button stance and the nice long jackgt. Great on all...

    The (un)official Zing Chen thread

    Young Shenzhen designer. There isn't a lot of discussion about him online but there is this great Medium article about him. I think he does MTM stuff in Australia and he also sells RTW online through Taobao. His Taobao store is here. I recently bought a dark gray denim shirt from him (link...
