    how to fix "hairy" suede shoes?

    i got caught in the rain in a pair of snuff suede alden chukkas a couple weeks back in nyc (live in san francisco and forgot how unpredictable east coast weather can be). they looked/felt a little worse for wear after drying out, so i tried brushing them with a nylon-bristle suede brush bought...

    need mohair-wool blend recommendation

    Hi all, Looking to have a navy DB suit made up for my wedding in Hawaii later this year, in a fairly lightweight wool-mohair blend (I was thinking 240-260 grams, 50-50 mix). Plan is to have Chan make it, but they didn't bring anything of this sort on their recent US trip. They've quoted me...

    groom's attire for wedding in hawaii... fabric and color recommendations?

    we're considering a wedding in hawaii (big island) in early fall or late summer. i would be the groom. i've been thinking about doing a db suit (haven't decided on stance, but most likely 4x2, 6x2, or perhaps even 6x3)--just read manton's post on the subject of wedding attire at LL, and that...

    how to deal with botched mtm order?

    hi there, have recently been adding to my wardrobe of tailored clothing, and my next step is going to be trying out chan--have made an appointment with them for their upcoming visit to san francisco. my biggest challenge so far has been outerwear--i'm a 43 short at 5'7"--42's are a touch too...

    west coast bespoke shirt recommendation?

    hi, thinking about taking the next step to a better class of shirt, and figure if i'm going to end up with bespoke eventually anyway, i may as well just skip past the many available mtm programs out there. beyond the question of fit, it seems that bespoke is viewed by many as a superior value...

    economics of garment manufacturing

    Hi, First time post from an increasingly active acquirer of nicer RTW men's garments, beginning to branch out into MTM. Thus far, I've acquired a couple of Kiton and Borrelli odd jackets and an Isaia suit at astonishingly varying price points/discount levels. One at retail (a Borrelli MTM--I...
