    18 East

    @PeteyPajamapant If your jungle jacket is a large and you decide to let go, I'm definitely interested. I think I'm still in denial in how cool I think I am... Have been looking at 18 East stuff since drop 1, and this is the first item that made me regret not jumping on the site at launch.

    Help Selecting a Suit for my Wedding (fit advice)

    If the waist is too tight, it would create an X wrinkle around the buttoning point. Instead, it looks like the chest is too small. Basically, the chestpiece is pushed outward, so that when you button it up, it is being pulled back toward your body and cannot lie flat. It could also be due to...

    Zegna Labels ID's for eBay purchasers (Graphic Intensive)

    Are the trousers pleated? Since the inner label is stitched with black instead of white thread, I want to say early 2000s. I hope I haven't gotten myself mixed up, but in the mid-2000s they had a large Z in the background of the inner label, and before that they were using black thread. After...

    Zegna Labels ID's for eBay purchasers (Graphic Intensive)

    I'll have to say it's actually older than 5 years. While Zegna changed its fabric tag from yours to the new one in 2012, the Roma was discontinued around 2009. If the pants are flat front, then I'd say the suit is closer to 2009, but still older than 5 years. IIRC Trofeo 600 is their top line...

    Zegna Labels ID's for eBay purchasers (Graphic Intensive)

    They probably date from early 2000s for the following reasons: - Zegna changed fabric tags in 2012, and you have the previous version - That version of the fabric tag was used from early 2000s until 2011 - In the mid-2000s, the black Zegna label had a large Z in the background - After Zegna...

    Need help selecting a belt

    If you're looking for quality, rather than Ferragamo specifically, what about Equus Leather? http://www.equusleather.co.uk You can read about them in this very forum: http://www.styleforum.net/t/260644/equus-leather-bridle-leather-belts-official-affiliate-thread

    Zegna Made Suits

    Don't forget that age of garment also plays a role: the cut may be dated, or just normal wear and tear. When I first started building my wardrobe I made that mistake, of scooping up suits at what I thought were great prices. However, as I grew more comfortable with my own style, I realized...

    Zegna Made Suits

    Just to add: Mainline Zegna's factories are located in Italy, Switzerland and Spain. If the suit came from any of those places, there's a very good chance it's of a higher quality. ZZegna is made in Mexico, and maybe another place, I'm not sure. If the suit came from there, it's likely fused...

    Vest or Waiscoat Advice

    I don't see any pics attached, but if you're looking for double-breasted waistcoats, they are sometimes referred to as morning dress waistcoats. Charles Tyrwhitt has a decent selection. You can also find them at Ede & Ravenscroft. Suitsupply has started carrying a couple, but they tend to...

    How (in)flexible is this grey blazer

    Sorry, but it screams orphaned suit jacket. Furthermore, wearing dark trousers will create the "Northern Lights" look which, while doable, ups the difficulty. Not worth the investment IMO.

    Looking For This Fur Collar Leather Jacket

    It's a typical A-2 flight jacket with shearling collar/lining.

    Peacoat fit advice

    Here's the contrary view: The shoulders on the smaller size don't fit you. It's creating divots on the sleeves. Furthermore, the waist looks a bit too tight. Because they're new I think you've still got a basting stitch keeping the vent closed. However, I expect that once you remove it, the...

    Zegna Couture Jacket Sleeves

    When Stefano Pilati took over at Zegna Couture, everything became fashion pieces. If you review the catalogue post-2012 you'll notice that the Couture suits were designed without any sleeve buttons on the outside. This was basically the time I stopped paying attention to Zegna as a whole.

    Fake or Real (Authentic, Genuine, etc.) -- Official Authentication Thread

    Third one looks suspicious to me. At first glance it looks like a Zegna tag, but some of the fonts and spacing are off. Here's a picture of a Versace Collection suit of mine: I've owned many suits that are Zegna-made, and this is probably the first time I've been this unsure of a Zegna tag...

    Why do I get these horizontal lines in the back of any shirt with darts?

     OP made a thread on the same issue before this one. Shirtmaven, who is an esteemed and highly-regarded shirtmaker, provided an answer previously, yet more threads are being made by OP asking the same thing, but worded differently.

    Looking for a tie to match a kimono

    Sam Hober may also be a good possibility. They provide custom-made ties, and the owner David is a very good guy. If you reach out, he may have something close. I pulled up the Flower Ties section, and this is the closest I could find...

    Where can I find these trousers/chinos?

    Those are just pants made with seersucker fabric. I'm sure you can find them anywhere.
