    Pleated Pants: Forward vs. Reverse (revisited)

    I have done a bit of digging on this topic, but have found that the threads were not addressing my question, or were at least a couple of years old, and I'm wondering what pleated pants wearers think currently... WHO: The people whose opinions I am most interested in are those who intentionally...

    Sefarino Falvo Custom Tailor (video clip)

    I just came accross this clip on youtube and thought I would share for sharings sake - seems to be a few years old, but I've never seen it before.

    Question for Canadians ordering from TM Lewin

    Sorry to start a thread for this, I was just wondering if any Canadians who order from TM Lewin can tell me if they are ever charged any tax or duty upon delivery, or if the price in the cart online is all you pay? Much appreciated if you can tell me. Edit to add: I am refering to ordering...

    Would this leather jacket be worth trying to restore/alter?

    This jacket has been sitting in my Dad's closet for decades. I remember wearing it as a kid, just fooling around. I couldn't quite remember what it even looked like, but I would think about it once in a while and wonder if he still had it and what kind of shape it was in. Today I was over...

    Hello new version of the forum, Since some people enjoyed my last thread on the topic I thought I would post a little update... I've made 2 pairs of pants since my first thread on the topic...
