grey suit
If it's a formal ball then you should probably be wearing black shoes...- Sanguis Mortuum

Help identify this coat
Looks like a raincoat or short trench, I can't find one exactly the same but London Fog and Burberry do similar things. Edit: Some Googling suggests that particular coat is Brunello Cucinelli, probably something like this but in a different colour. Another edit: I just noticed that Epaulet do...- Sanguis Mortuum

Small irons
I don't see why you would need a small iron, you just use the tip of a normal iron, that's the reason they tend to come to a point at the front. Most tailors seem to have no trouble pressing everywhere with a normal size iron.- Sanguis Mortuum

Suggestion for a summer suit?
Bear in mine he's 5'7" and 120lb; I doubt many RTW suits would be too short or too tight when actually worn by him...- Sanguis Mortuum

Unfinished sleeves, unlike unfinished trousers, are not left with a raw end that needs turning up, they just don't have the buttons and buttonholes sewn on. If you wanted you could just leave it at 26.25" and have them sewn on; there should be no problem shortening to 26" first.- Sanguis Mortuum

What's the brand of this shirt?
That was my first thought, but then looking at the full-size image it doesn't look like Brooks Brothers. Then again, it's just a plain blue shirt; why does the brand even matter? Other than the conspicuous logo, which you shouldn't have on your shirts anyway, you can buy a plain blue shirt...- Sanguis Mortuum

Am I violating the "Matchy Matchy" rule?
What on earth is happening to this forum? Pin-dot socks are a classic formal choice and not the least bit foppish. As has been mentioned, you should probably be wearing black shoes to a wedding though.- Sanguis Mortuum

The second one is too short, and I don't like the closed quarters. The first one looks nice though.- Sanguis Mortuum

Shortening Jacket Sleeves
Since it's from Uniqlo I'm quite sure it does not have working sleeve buttons, so there's no reason to shorten from the shoulder. Whether it's worth the $50 to shorten from the cuff is up to you.- Sanguis Mortuum

What possible reason could you have for wanting a dress shirt that stretches? If you even need such a thing, you're buying shirts that are too small.- Sanguis Mortuum

Newbie Here.
I'm not sure I'd ever describe a peach-coloured tie as 'subtle'. And I'm not sure what 'too subtle' would even mean in this context. The tie doesn't strike me as being particularly casual though, if you're going for a casual look then a more casual tie might be a good idea. The outfit might...- Sanguis Mortuum

Dry Cleaner Pressed Cappelli Tie
The flatness can probably be remedied if they deconstruct the tie, press the fabric flat, then refold it, providing the crease that's been put in isn't too sharp. Not so sure about the shine though; there are ways to get shine out of fabric depending on the type of fabric but there's no...- Sanguis Mortuum

The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions
The blue jacket looks great on you. Unfortunately I cannot say the same about the Isaia. Even if you could fix the fit the high button-stance and short stubby lapels are not a good look on you, the elongating effect of the long lapels on the blue coat looks infinitely better. If you must...- Sanguis Mortuum

Semi-spread and French Cuffs
Late September means it isn't too late to get something made to measure, then you can get whatever cuff/collar configuration you want. And please don't wear a skinny tie. Ever. (Where skinny is anything 2" or narrower)- Sanguis Mortuum

Opinions on MTM suit with hacking pockets?
Not on city suits though, they were traditionally for horse-riding, hence the name. That said, I do like them.- Sanguis Mortuum

Opinions: which necktie do you like more?
The vomit-colour stripe is not particularly appealing. All the rest appear to be the exact same tie in different colourways. It looks like a perfectly serviceable tie in any one of them.- Sanguis Mortuum

Indochino suits?
That's not exactly unusual, patch-pockets with a normal breast pocket is more common than three-patch.- Sanguis Mortuum
