    Less wool quality needed for wearing suit pants only?

    I have two pair of pants which I have been switching between every day for the last two years. Both are starting to get really thin at the crotch, so much there's a small hole. I have had to get it fixed, but it doesn't seem to last that long. Which is why I'm reconsidering my "strategy" for...

    Less wool quality needed for wearing suit pants only?

    Hi, For office use only. So far I have been buying suits with an additional pair of trousers. So one jacket and two trousers. But I don't wear the jacket every day. This has led to my pants wearing out a lot quicker than my jacket. This is a shame as I'm left with a jacket with no trousers...

    Brushing dress shoes after wear and keep mirror shine?

    Hi I have always heard, that you should brush your dress shoes/GYW often, like before and after each wear. But I have also heard, that you shouldn't brush your toe cap if you have put a mirror shine there, which I have. These advices contractdict each other. So my question is, which I should...

    How to avoid a too big roll with a hidden button down shirt?

    Yeah, this is what I was afraid of... I never wear a tie, and have problems with the collar collapsing and falling under the lapels of my suit. I don't like this look. The goal for me is to get a high, tall collar standing straight with a little bit of a roll. I do have magnetic collar stays...

    How to avoid a too big roll with a hidden button down shirt?

    Hi I have always seen and read, that when you iron your collar, that you do not fold it and do not iron it folded. This has worked fine with normal dress shirts with collar stays. But now I have this hidden button down dress shirt. I'm always going to be wearing it unbuttoned. But I find the...

    I'm actually considering going dark brown for both shoe creme and polish. You think that would work?

    Saphir colors for Loake shoes?

    Hi I have a pair of Loake Fleet in dark brown (https://www.loake.com/product/fleet-dark-brown/) I'm about to buy Medaille d’Or Crème Pommadier 1925 and Saphir Pate de Luxe for them. Any ideas which color I should chose these products in for the shoes?

    Cuff width hinders reaching forward a little bit due to forearm

    Hi The width of my cuffs are so tight that I can just barely slide my hands through them. I believe this is somewhat right, and they also look nice. There's room for my watch, so everything is good. Except for one thing: When I reach forward the sleeve rides up my arm as expected. But when...

    110S 260 gram vs. 130S 315 gram for office use

    Mond Copenhagen in Copenhagen. I ended up choosing this and went a bit over budget, but what the hell: https://mond.dk/da/produkt/mxw-navy-heavy-twill It's only 340 grams, but it's the highest weight they got without ordering directly from the mill.

    Twill vs. hopsack for business suit

    I think I finally get it. I'll look for the heaviest they have within budget. Thank you all for your time!

    Twill vs. hopsack for business suit

    I understand that. Some just make it sound like a 260 gram in colder weather will be useless. I'm not used to wearing a suit, so I don't know if people find it normal that you wear a suit with or without a coat outside. I also haven't mentioned this, which is why I find it relevant to add.

    110S 260 gram vs. 130S 315 gram for office use

    Thanks. So just to be sure: So when you talk about under 300 grams being too light, is that for indoor wear or outdoor wear? Because currently I'm just wearing a shirt indoor and it's not too cold for me. I do put on a coat/winter jacket when going outside, and that's also not too cold for me.

    110S 260 gram vs. 130S 315 gram for office use

    Just to be sure: More breathable isn't necessarily a good thing? Considering I live in scandinavian and want a suit for 3 seasons, wouldn't a less breathable suit probably be better, as I assume it would be warmer?

    110S 260 gram vs. 130S 315 gram for office use

    Okay, thanks. 3 seasons is also fine for me. I asked them if they had like super 100-110 in the 300+ gram range, but it was about budget. They do have this one (https://mond.dk/da/produkt/dark-navy-heavy-hopsack/) which is merino with worsted ("Merino Med Kamgarn"). It's hopsack though, which I...

    110S 260 gram vs. 130S 315 gram for office use

    Ahh, I see. So how much of a difference do you believe there is between the two in durability? Because the 110S is little bit cheaper and I liked the look a little bit better, so if it's much much, I believe it make better sense to get the 110S.

    110S 260 gram vs. 130S 315 gram for office use

    I don't know if it's my biggest concern. I just want something that's appropriate for office, and won't break like after 6 months of use. I have picked the two suits as they are the only navy suits they have within my budget. But are either of these suits categorized as superfine? And will...

    110S 260 gram vs. 130S 315 gram for office use

    Hi I looking to buy my first suit. It's for office use all year round so the durability shall be good. I live in Sweden. I have two options: 110S 260 gram - https://mond.dk/da/produkt/essential-plain-navyblat-jakkesaet/ 130S 315 gram - https://mond.dk/da/produkt/navy-super-s130s/ Both are in...
