    Canali Suit - Hole in Pocket and Tailoring

    I recently purchased a Canali suit off Yoox at a deep discount. The suit itself is great - staple light grey color, summer weight, etc, BUT there appears to be a large hole in the fabric of the left front pocket. (Please see the picture.) Is this something that a tailor can repair by taking...

    Good, FAST Tailor in Chicago??

    Any recommendations on where I can find a tailor who can turnaround a suit that needs only modest alterations (hem pants, bring in waist of pants and jacket a bit) in Chicago in about a week? My usual tailor in the city (who actually does pretty good work) is quoting me 2.5-3 weeks and even...

    Jack Georges Briefcases

    Can anyone speak to the quality of these briefcases? I'm looking for something more formal than Filson, Saddleback, et al around the $400-$600 (not ready for SAB yet) price point and like the look of their stuff. Thanks.

    "Mix and Match" Suits?

    Does anyone know if brooks brothers allows customers to "mix and match" their off the rack suits? (I.e., to purchase, say, a 42R suit and a 40R suit and keep the 42R jacket and the 40R trousers while returning the 42R trousers and 40R jacket?) This would be helpful, as I have a 10 drop and...

    9 drop OTR suit??

    I wear a 44 jacket and buy 35" waist pants. So far I've just been buying separates, but I'm now looking to buy a nicer Canali or Oxxford OTR suit. I think both of these suits are 6 drop OTR. Can anyone speak to whether I'd be able to take in an Oxxford 1220 line suit 3 inches in the waist...

    Shortening Sleeves of Shirts

    So I'm basically right in between a 34 and a 35 in sleeve length, and right now with the way my suit jackets are tailored I am showing around 1.25" of cuff with an OTR 35" shirt, which I think looks odd. Would it be pretty easy for me to walk into any drycleaner/alterations place and...

    Inexpensive, adequate tailor in Chicago?

    I have searched through the old threads but every one seems to reference the elite, expensive tailors in this city. Does anyone know of someone who can do an adequate job on a suit and sportcoat while keeping the price relatively low (ie, no Oak Street, Despos, Gold Coast, etc)?

    BB Saxxon Herringbone Coat

    Can anyone speak to the quality of this BB coat?

(ie, sweaters or just OCBDs underneath). The...

    Chicago Hairstylists

    I was going to the 316 Club and had my haircut by a woman who really knew what she was doing but unfortunately she just moved. Can anyone recommend a place (anywhere from the Loop up to Lakeview is fine) that does a decent job with slightly longer men's hairstyles? (ie, no old-school...

    Good Chicago hairstylists

    I need to get a haircut in Chicago this week and would like a decent job done. I have fairly long, bushy, wavy hair and would like to keep some length but get it evened out (not looking for a short, traditional cut, but more like Bradley Cooper from The Hangover). Thoughts on who can do this...

    Thoughts on this car coat?

    It seems to have a slimmer silhouette than many of the boxier coats, such as J Crew. http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse...scid=593777012 Also, how about this jacket for colder weather? http://www.nau.com/mens/categories/i...t-307M408.html

    Avoiding dry cleaning with suit

    Anyone have any tips on removing large amounts of dog hair from a suit without having to take it in for dry cleaning? I'm not sure if a lint remover is safe for this purpose, but am leery about getting any suit dry cleaned. If I do take it in for dry cleaning, how badly will this affect the...
