    Rubato

    I am a US resident. I thought import duties were around 3% for the value about $800? Seems prices went up by 50% on basically all of Rubato's products. So this explanation makes no sense... when I got their email, I expected prices would go up by around $10 for a sweater, not by $140.

    Rubato

    Did rubato just massively increase the price of their products? I bought a sweater for $290 USD a month ago, but I just checked and the price is now up to $430!!

    Well 105s have a button fly and they fit very similarly (I own both and the 105s are just a tiny bit wider below the knee).

    Looking for blazer / sport coat advice - where to buy?

    Seems you already know the best places for tailoring. I own a RTW jacket from J. Mueser and I really like it! Would be happy to answer any questions!

    The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

    I find that the drake's OCBD sleeves are fairly long, but the cuff is quite narrow so I actually like the way the sleeves fit and how the cuffs sit on my hand. It's more of a traditional dress shirt fit, with a longer body meant to be tucked, a generous collar, and long sleeves (rather than the...

    The Overcoat Thread

    Question for those who have explored or tried bespoke overcoating: how does the process compare to commissioning a bespoke suit? Are bespoke makers typically able to make a wide variety of overcoats, or do they typically offer a standard single/double breasted overcoat? And are specific "house...

    The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

    On my 15.5" OCBD, rear collar height and collar point length are 2" and 3 3/8" if measured with the collar flipped up, and 1.75" and 3.25" if measured with the collar flipped down. Front placket width is just a hair under 1.5 inches (~1 7/16").

    Rubato

    Just received my brushed shetland crewneck, and I am pleased overall. The length is on the shorter side (but not to the extreme). I also took note of some nice details like the thickness of the collar material (which appears to be folded over/doubled), the snugness of the collar, as well as the...

    Offical Barbour Thread

    Random question: do you guys use your Barbour jackets all the time or mainly when the weather is more wet/inclement?

    The Japanese Bespoke Tailoring Thread

    Does anybody have any experience with Tailor Caid's overcoating? I've seen some of the staff at the Armoury wearing overcoats from the brand and they look incredible.

    OFFICIAL Simon Crompton thread (PermanentStyle.com)

    Based on Simon's website, most SR places were £5,000+ 2-3 years ago, and I imagine prices have only gone up since. Sexton starts at £6,600. Huntsman NYC starts at $9500.

    OFFICIAL Simon Crompton thread (PermanentStyle.com)

    I've always believed that bespoke tailoring has little to no value proposition (assuming you have a relatively average-sized/shaped body that can adapt to MTM or MTO programs). How much is a Liverano or Savile Row suit these days? Perhaps 8-9k USD? My understanding is that one of the main...

    Rubato

    Just bought a brushed shetland in the breakwater color! How do people like the crewnecks? I was also considering knitwear from the Armoury or Drake's, but ended up with going with Rubato because I am relatively short and tend to wear high-rise jeans/trousers, and I've heard Rubato knits are a...

    Pictures of nice gloves...?

    A short review of the Paula Run peccary leather gloves that I received yesterday! First of all, the fit and quality of leather are great (I have small hands and purchased the brown color in size 8). One thing to note is that the brown color is a very deep chocolate brown, almost between black...

    What evidence do you have that they've cut ties with the Armoury? In fact Liverano has a trunk show with the Armoury in April (it's on the website).

    The Official Dieworkwear Appreciation Thread

    Not to be a dick or an elitist here, but is Manton's "pedigree" even all that impressive? Honestly Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and Ron Desantis all seem to have shinier ivy league credentials. Not saying they should be trusted or tolerated either.

    Who makes a wool fleece jacket?

    Just curious, does anybody here have any experience with these "actual wool" fleeces? How is comfort, durability, etc? I have been interested in these products because I have heard polyester fleeces shed a lot of microplastics that are not good for the environment.

    Who makes a wool fleece jacket?

    Drake's fleeces have around 60% wool content.
