    Suit critique- with photos

    Ribbing on the shoulder, bunching up behind the collar. Could just be the stance though. But the skirt is too tight. You can never close the 2nd button. Even with it open your vent will not be closed. The sleeve is also too long but that can be fixed easily. The others won't be so easy.

    The width of the french cuff differs from maker to maker. There is also the single cuff, you don't have to wear double cuff

    Any working buttonhole tailor in San Marino/Pasadena Area?

    Does anyone know of any tailor that can do working buttonholes in the Pasadena/San Marino Area? It is a suburbs of LA. It seems all the really good tailors are either in Downtown or on the opposite side.

    I never had a monks that is elastic :( But yes you have to unbuckle to take them off, though after i take off mine I just slide it back into the buckle without setting the pin.

    Pictures of nice gloves...?

     Hogskin has these round flatten spots on them. Peccary has sets of hair follicles/holes arranged in triangular patterns. Hogskin has odd resilience to them. It is soft but feels springy. Not sure how to describe it. I find it incredibly weird when worn. It is still comfortable but...

    Chisel toes have an edge to them. Without the edge it is just square toes.

    Gaziano & Girling Appreciation & Shoe Appreciation Thread (including reviews, purchases, pictures)

     G&G seems to be overwhelmed. I was quoted 4 month on my MTO last year, and it actually took 7 month to complete. Be patient :) they are worth the wait.

    Recent Sartorialist Looks

     IIRC Tony started G&G after EG ended their bespoke program. A shame too, I loved the EG stamp on the heel.
