    STEAKS!!!!!!!

    I use a different reverse sear method. I learned this from Jacob Burton on Stella Culinary as well as Aaron Franklin in his steak book. I reverse sear on my smoker at 200- 225 degrees, using wood for a smoke flavor. I take the steaks to the desired finished temp, which for ribeyes is 130...

    The Future of Tailored Clothing

    The man told you his orders were up. Why do you need him to justify that? Hence, my reaction. rob

    Absence of chest patch pocket in cashmere / linen unconstructed designer sport coats like Brunello Cucinelli and Ermenegildo Zegna?

    For me, after having both patch pockets with a breast welt and with a breast patch pocket, I prefer the look of the breast welt. For the record a wear a tie with both, but for the most part use a casual tie with Three patch operation. rob

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    I think that is a bit simplistic. It’s not that efficient of a market. The tailor sets his prices knowing the cost of materials, the cost of his labor and hopefully take a few dollars home himself. I don’t think he can go back to his pants makers or cloth merchants and say ”You have to take a...

    I prefer the second one but better than the previous examples shown.

    The Official Dieworkwear Appreciation Thread

    I think I think these samples support Despos’ conclusion: The light background makes it hard to look good with many, if not any, of the trousers that make up a typical wardrobe. Rob

    The Official Dieworkwear Appreciation Thread

    A good piece of advice from Alan Flusser is, if the jacket doesn’t look good with gray trousers, take a pass. rob

    The Official Dieworkwear Appreciation Thread

    So, how does the concept of drape fit into that? And, the pants are too short.

    Is black Oxford really the most versatile shoe?

    To answer the question of this thread, you have to know the context or situations for which a guy is dressing. If the thought is truly what shoe can you where the most often and still look presentable, your answer will vary. If you are an actor on Schitz Creek, then by all means where black...

    What shoes am I still missing in my little collection?

    I do think black oxfords are a necessary part of a complete shoe wardrobe. This may be one of the few, if any, times I disagree with Chris. I wear them in the day time with gray suits - primarily the mid-gray vendon hopsack that Chris made for me - I find they are a nice complement to the gray...

    Gray Flannel Suit Advice

    I support the mid-gray choice based on the assumption that you are building a wardrobe, as it is a more versatile choice. Regarding the other details, that is too personal for anyone to weigh in on, as it depends on how and where you will wear it; what style of suit suits your body; and what...

    On ‘over-dressing’

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    When I read these comments, it helps me come to the realization that clothing hobbyists like myself are just that. Master tailors, like Despos, have a deeper understanding based on their actual work. I love all that Die, Workwear writes and always look for his new posts. However, his...

    Ongoing Bespoke Projects

    I’ve only known one tailor and the tailor has travelled as much as I have for the pleasure, he and I being 90 miles apart. The last few items have delivered to my door. In person by the tailor. Once, a tux was delivered by said tailor when I waited with baited breath with my shirt and black...
