    Proper Cloth - Official Affiliate Thread

    Why is everyone telling this guy to slim down? If you want a bit more ”classic” of a fit then you should not slim down anything other than perhaps the shoulders and cuffs – especially the cuffs are undeniably too roomy, the shoulders are fine but perhaps in this moderns world you would want to...

    ROTA HIERARCHY

    Rota has two line: regular and Rotasport. Sport is labeled Rotasport and everything else could be called ”normal” – these include both those tagged Rota Sartoriale and just Rota. Both are made in the same factory by the same company, obviously. The difference is that Rotasport can be machine...

    Proper Cloth - Official Affiliate Thread

    @Seph When adding a center box pleat to a shirt that has the chest around specified at, let’s say 47 inches (in the configurator obviously 23.5 chest WIDTH), will the shirt still, when it’s laid flat and with the box pleat spread out, measure 47″ around the chest/mid back? In other words, is...

    The Overcoat Thread

    I have read a lot about how the peacoat's longer brother, the bridge coat (pictured), is quite casual and should therefore not be extensively used as a replacement for a "proper" overcoat (like the rather formal but still versatile polo coat or the very formal guards coat). However, could this...

    I could not find the size charts for the Finamore and Attolini shirts on the website. The Finamores seem to be the regular fit (Napoli). Do they differ in sizing from Finamore’s own? And could perhaps Kevin generously direct me to a size chart for the Attolinis?

    The best Oxford shirt

    It is only open intermittently. It might follow the end-of-season sales or then not. In the last year or so it has been open twice. Just keep an eye out and subscribe to their mailing list and you will be rewarded hehe.

    The best Oxford shirt

    I would recommend Drake’s. Expensive, yes, but the fabric, collar and quality are solid. Kamakura has been recommended above, but compared point by point, the Drake’s OCBD simply blows it away. The collar is better than Kamakura’s flimsy one, the fabric is a much more robust oxford-weave and...

    ٭٭٭ No Man Walks Alone - Official Affiliate Thread ٭٭٭ (a.k.a. I shouldn't have slept on it)

    You are right, garment-dying is not required per se, but in this case it seems to be a prerequisite because I have never seen a pair of machine-washable Rotas that are not garment-dyed. That does not mean they could not make any, of course. I would be content enough with the non garment-dyed but...

    ٭٭٭ No Man Walks Alone - Official Affiliate Thread ٭٭٭ (a.k.a. I shouldn't have slept on it)

    I put this out there in this thread some months ago, but will phrase it a bit differently now; is doing a run of garment-dyed cotton trousers in basic colors (green, tan, brown, blue…) in your non-pleat fit something you could look into? For example, these are great, but would also be killer as...

    ٭٭٭ No Man Walks Alone - Official Affiliate Thread ٭٭٭ (a.k.a. I shouldn't have slept on it)

    If that’s the intended style of the trousers the shorter inseam makes sense. I’m more in the market for your run-of-the-mill odd trouser with a balanced fit to wear with sport coats and fancy cardigans with ordinary dress shirts and the like. For that use, the higher rise flat front and ordinary...

    I see, thank you. The Manhattan and the new iteration of it, the Westside, seem to come hemmed to 70 cm with just 6.5 cm to spare. Unfortunately they are not for me, since I would need over 10 cm of extra fabric.

    ٭٭٭ No Man Walks Alone - Official Affiliate Thread ٭٭٭ (a.k.a. I shouldn't have slept on it)

    Love the Rotas, but I have been wondering what the fit on the Manhattan is like, since there is no size chart. If there is no size chart available, could someone tell me how they fit compared to the "higher-rise" -flat front model (I have the green cavalry twill). Most important attribute is the...

    Have you used 100Hands own/standard sizing when doing your 100Hands shirts, or have you customized the fit. I see that the sleeves on your shirts in size 41 are 67.5 cm long, opposed to the 66,5 cm stated on the chart found on their site (https://www.100hands.nl/pages/slim-size-guide). As a...

    Ask A Question, Get An Answer... - Post All Quick Questions Here (Classic menswear)

    Hi! I bought this rather interesting and certainly unusual colored 100Hands shirt. It fits well and the quality is very good (as should be expected from 100Hands). My question is, how does one wear shirt this color? I tried to convey the color by taking a pic, but since it is a hard color to...

    Will you be doing more 100Hands in the near future? Some oxford shirts would be nice. Perhaps with a box pleat and pocket :)

    I hear you, the majority obviously sets the tone – as it should be! Anyway, when will you expanding the EU store lineup for Rota? I have been absolutely drooling over the Rota quality in your slightly wider fit, ever since I spotted them pre-EU-store-era – would love to see some of the same...

    Absolutely LOVE that you finally opened a European store! However, is there a reason why almost all of your cotton Rota trousers are Bemberg-lined to the knee/otherwise not machine washable? I understand why the wool trousers are dry-clean only, but the cottons? If it has to do with the lining...

    Loving your sale! A question; is this Ring Jacket blazer (https://cavour.co/en/product/6377/balloon-jacket) full canvas, half canvas or unstructured? Also, is there fusing present? Thank you!
