Who sells good chisel toe boots?
Can someone recommend some companies that sell boots with a refined chisel toe last? A lot of them look chisel toe from that annoying 45 degree angle photo a lot of online sellers use, but when you're actually looking down on them from above they look almond (e.g. rmwilliams). I'm looking for...- Svenn

Best leather to resist creasing/ripples?
Thanks, what's the best leather or treatment combo then for formal shoes? Rolls is a good way to describe what I meant by ripples; yes there's just one or two big rolls about 2/3 inches back from the toe that extend across the width of my shoe. Something about it just kills the polished vibe I...- Svenn

Best leather to resist creasing/ripples?
Which leather for shoes is the most resist to creasing or ripples? I have a few bespoke cayman boots that perform well but I'm curious if there's anything better as I start my next commission. For whatever reason my toebox always gets a ton of ripples after just a few wears; I'm trying to get...- Svenn

Commissioning custom fabric from a weaver?
Does anyone know of anyone that offers this service? I have an idea of a fabric I'd like to have my next suit made out of. Also, a source for suiting yarn?- Svenn

Slim/close-fitting withOUT waist-suppression?
Anyone have any experience with getting a close-fitting jacket without all that feminine waist suppression? I've struggled with this for years in my bespoke suits... I recall reading Jeffery D or someone's analysis of Neapolitan tailoring, where he described this method of cutting close to the...- Svenn

Foundation to conceal redness?
Anyone here have any recommendations for a mens foundation or something to conceal redness and dark puffiness under the eyes? I've tested a lot of products, watched a lot of youtube videos, and even had my gf put some stuff on my face and it always looks like obvious makeup. The powder stuff...- Svenn

Do double-breasted jackets really accentuate hips?
It seems to be a common warning that DBs enlarge and draw attention to the hips, and men who don't want that area accentuated should avoid them. I wonder though if the DB really does do that any more than the single-breasted. It could simply be due to the fact that DB are often...- Svenn

3 piece suit:Trendy, classic or outdated?
Trudeau proved today that the 3-piece is over; maybe it's the fact that he looks like he's 16 years old, but the vest just looks like costume and it detracted from his gravitas IMHO.- Svenn

How to fade a black shirt?
Anyone know how to lightly fade a solid black t-shirt to charcoal without bleach? Bleach tends to do weird things like make it green or purple, since, as I understand it, most black dye is really just a very dark color. Soak in salt? Solid black seems too much like a waiter or art student to me- Svenn

Dress trousers and chelsea boots
You need to buy higher boots, no other solution. I have no idea why the hell they sell ankle boots where this is an inevitable problem; I wasted so much $ on boots that were too short and my trousers always got stuck in them. I just go bespoke now and get them a few inches higher, never had...- Svenn

The Suits of Spectre (2015), the latest Bond film
His suits are almost always too tight; pretty amateur mistake on the part of the designer. They really should be using a stretch wool so it doesn't look like a seam will explode every time he makes an action move- Svenn

anyone dealing with hair loss/thinning/balding?
I don't know why anyone would risk side effects on their schlong with those pills, so I've been using hair-thickening serums and sprays. It's impossible to say if they're working or not since I don't want to risk stopping for 6 months to ascertain a control. I grow my hair out at the temples...- Svenn

Thin (not thick) normal-width neckties?
Anybody know of any ties that are thin but still normal width (not skinny)? Trend seems to be for thicker ties for fatter knots, but I need a slim knot for a very narrow spread collar shirt I have. Thanks- Svenn

Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread
Mohair question: Does mohair twill exist? The two best-performing fabrics I have in my wardrobe are an 8 oz mohair/wool blend, which drapes beautifully like a fabric thrice its weight, and a cavalry twill which hasn't required cleaning in 6 years. Seems like the best imaginable suiting fabric...- Svenn
