    Ralph Lauren Black Label - Wool/Cashmere (50/50) 38R - Pale Gray Houndstooth

    I'm selling a used RLBL cashmere sport coat that I picked up on these forums a few years ago, and ended up wearing 10-15 times. It is a beautiful and quite unique jacket, and on the infrequent occasions I've worn it, it's received a lot of compliments! The pattern is a pale, gray houndstooth...

    Everlane Weekender -- anyone had the bag for a while who can comment on durability?

    Seen a fair amount of hype for this bag but haven't seen a style forum thread devoted to it yet. Has anyone purchased this bag and had it for a bit (say more than a few months or a few uses) so that they can comment in an informed way on the durability/quality? I have seen lots of blogs...

    Robert Talbott Tie

    I've worn this tie a handful of times but have realized I prefer ties of a slightly smaller width so I'm letting it go. It measure 3 5/8" in width and approximately 60" in length. Self-keeper, and all around made of a wonderful, heavy silk that ties a great knot.

    Spring Cleaning - US30/EU46 Mabitex Wool Trousers

    Letting go a pair of Mabitex trousers that I no longer wear. These are very slim fitting pants (see measurements). They have some visible sweat stains on the pockets but a dry cleaning will take those out no problem. Waist: 32" + 0.5" to let out Rise: 8.7" Inseam: 29.5" Leg Opening: 7.8"

    Kent Wang - Notre Dame Pocket Square

    Purchased this pocket square along with a few others two months back when it first came out, but haven't had a chance to wear it yet so this is NWOT (the squares do not come with any sort of attached tag). Kent does some really amazing work, and these are by far the nicest pocket squares I have...

    Brioni Navy Houndstooth 36-38S Sport Coat - Grail for the Short Guys!

    Alright guys, maybe I'm just putting this on the market because I'm feeling the after-effects of too much holiday shopping, but I'm letting go a sport coat that I purchased off of these forums three years ago. It's a gorgeous piece, a Brioni navy houndstooth pattern sport coat with working...

    Mind Boggling

    http://www.gilt.com/sale/men/httpsadmingiltcomadminsaleshow170959453/product/166981525-burberry-prorsum-prorsum-felted-wool-overcoat Does Burberry seriously not make their overcoats out of 100% wool? 30% Polyster/13% Nylon seems pretty ridiculous when you're shelling out $2,700 on an overcoat.

    Abito on Gilt?

    Hey, anyone have any idea what the brand "Abito" is on Gilt? I've googled them and haven't found anything. It sounds like they are basically a brand Gilt made up, not an independent clothing producer, but I'm wondering if anyone has more knowledge.

    When a Jacket or Coat is Shortened, Where Does the Extra Material Go?

    Sorry if this is a really silly question, but I'm wondering what happens to the extra material when an item like a suit/sport coat is shortened (I know, I know, not supposed to do it!) or when an overcoat is shortened. Does the tailor just give you the cut off extra fabric (perhaps it would be...

    The Best, vs. Best Bargain

    Obviously not everyone here can afford to trick themselves out in bespoke Gaziano & Girling or $5,000 suits every day. I'm intrigued as to members' take on what the gold standard for any given clothing item is, and then what they consider the best bargain. For instance, among shoes, the gold...

    United Colors of Benetton Quality?

    Hey, just interested in people's thoughts re: the quality of clothing at United Colors of Benetton. I've never considered them as a serious brand before, but today I happened to walk in and look at some of their clothes and was pleasantly surprised. The sport coats didn't feel particularly...

    T. Anthony Briefcases

    Hey, so I saw a brief thread on this from a few years back, but I'm wondering if members have used T. Anthony briefcases and, if so, what they think of them. I really like the styling (akin to Swane Adeney Brigg) and the price point seems a little more reasonable (around $800US). And if you...

    Mabitex Cotton Pants - US30/EU46 - New with tags!

    IVORY WHITE PAIR SOLD! I have one more pair of new with tags Mabitex cotton pants, a great staple for a guy who likes slim-fitting pants. It's an off white or bone white in color. Apologies to any inquirers who looked at these a few months ago when I decided not to sell them -- I was in the...

    Brooks Brothers Black Fleece BB1 (36-38) - Navy Pinstripe Suit

    Continuing with some closet cleaning, I'm putting up this Brooks Brothers Black Fleece navy pinstripe suit, size BB1. BB1 fits a 36 or a slim 38, see measurements below. I bought this last year and had it altered at the flagship Madison Ave. Brooks store. After that, I wore it once to work...

    Brioni 38 and Duncan Quinn 36 Sport Coats

    After picking up a bunch of sport coats a few years ago to expand my collection, I’ve realized that some of them aren’t featuring in my regular rotation (or in fact haven’t been worn at all). All items include shipping CONUS, but do not include the required 4 percent for the Paypal fees, so...

    Tailor Help! (Odd Suit from Paul Smith)

    Alright, so I just picked up one of the Paul Smith Mainline suits that was on sale on Gilt last week. Just received it in the mail and am quite bemused. I'm trying to decide whether I should return it or not at the moment. It has working buttons, but the sleeves are unusually long - easily...

    Paul Smith Mainline - Drop 8?

    Checked previous threads on PS Mainline and couldn't find an answer to this: are any PS Mainline suits actually cut in drop 8? Gilt has some on sale today which are supposedly mainlines w/ drop 8 sizing. That seems insane to me -- I thought Mainline is their more "conventional" look, more...

    Good Article for Trad Lovers

    http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/28/op...28feldman.html "Interestingly, this era of inclusion was accompanied by a corresponding diffusion of the distinctive fashion (or rather anti-fashion) of the Protestant elite class. The style now generically called "prep," originally known as "Ivy League,"...

    Biggest Purchasing Mistake (pre-SF)

    I've done a lot of wardrobe renovation over the last few months after reading more SF and learning a bit. Now in retrospect I'm kicking myself for purchasing a Hugo Red suit during a very small sale in December for like $700+. It's a perfectly good-fitting suit, but the price + the fact that...
