    Spring outerwear for classic style?

    When it comes to what to wear over a suit or a sport coat in spring I don't see many options besides a Trench or a Mac coat over the suit or a field/safari jacket over a sport coat for a more casual look. This is a quite limited selection. Am I missing something here?

    Practicality of a cotton suit?

    I bought a first suit made out of cotton and I like it a lot. It was an impulsive purchase and now I am not sure of how practical it is to wear a cotton suit. My main concern is that cotton absorbs scents quite fast and so it'll need dry cleaning quite often. Wool tailoring naturally gets rid of...

    Letting out bamboo garments?

    I have an off white dinner jacket from 100% bamboo that I want to let out a bit on a side seams. Will it leave needle marks like it usually does with cotton or linen? Or is it safe to tailor just like the worsted wool? I've never worked with bamboo before, so I don't know what to expect.

    New iron recommendation?

    My girlfriend burned my old iron (literally - by starting a fire under it), so I am looking to buy a new iron. I didn't like the old one anyway and would have replaced it if I wasn't so resourceful - don't like to generate waste as much as possible. The thing that I hated a lot about my old iron...

    Fabric waterproofing?

    I had a small stain on my suit jacket, so I spot washed it and it went away. However when I tried to wash it I saw that the fabric was water repellent and I had to really rub in water to get that spot wet and wash it. This obviously removed that waterproof coating from the fabric and now I...

    Tailor in Stockholm?

    Hello dear Stockholmers, I know there's a bunch of you here, hopefully not all of you are at your sommarstugas right now. Can anyone recommend me a tailor that can finish sleeves on a jacket in the city? I.e. Make button holes and that needs a machine. I don't know anyone who has it

    Where to buy Mother of Pearl shirt buttons in bulk?

    A lot of my loved and often worn shirts feature plastic buttons. I no longer can stand that and want to replace them with proper MoP buttons. So I am looking to buy around 500 MoP buttons in different sizes as buttons on a sleeve placket are smaller than the rest. Anyone can recommend a place in...

    Dress shoes and color bleeding

    I've noticed that all of my dress shoes bleed color either from the lining onto my socks or from the uppers onto my trousers. It's especially bad with patina shoes, which is a big shame as I love patina shoes and want to buy more. Is there anything I can do to my shoes to stop color bleeding...

    High end affordable shirts?

    During my visit to Suitsupply today I spotted a new Jort collection that included shirts. But when I checked it out it turned out it's just Custom Made items without the usual sartorial details that you find in a typical RTW Jort pieces. I own just one Jort shirt and it's amazing: - mother of...

    Dress shoes for rainy\wet weather?

    I have no idea what kind of shoes one wears in a rainy weather? I have a few shoes with rubber soles and I can use Saphir Super Invulner on them, but what if I have no time or those shoes doesn't really fit well with my outfit? I have a pair of galosh, but that's only an option if you go from...

    Warm winter dress gloves?

    I am prone to freezing in my hands during winters. Regular wool lined dress gloves don't help me, I need something warmer. I doubt that thin cashmere or even alpaca lining will be much of an improvement. So shearling or sheepskin? Or, perhaps, fur lined gloves? I get it that it's gonna be bulky...
