Any recommendation for button spacing on shirts if you open the top 2 buttons without a tie? How far down should the second and third button be?

Why don't you just open the first button?

Or learn to see and sacrifice a thrifted shirt to figurerout what you like.

On this tweed jacket (image from another thread), is there a name for the detail around the edges? Is this a standard trim feature for tweed? The only thing I know to call this is "pick stitching" but I don't think that is what is exactly going on here. Any thoughts?

Here is a closer example of what I am talking about. The 1/4 inch stitch along the lapel, is this standard for tweed jackets or does it have a trade name one would request if having a jacket made?

Black full brogue shortwing bal with a medallion = shoe without a purpose? Already own black cap toe bals and black shell bluchers. For some reason the Cleverleys just look nice to me.

Already strange in my eyes as it mixes formal (black) with informal (medallion and brogueing). Personally I would not buy.

Hello gents. Total noob here. Sacramento, CA. I dropped off three shirts at the tailor yesterday. The cost was $28 per shirt just to get the sleeves and torso slimmed. Is that price high? It seems high to me, but I don't have anything to compare. Please let me know. Thanks!

Sounds a little high to me.

Last week I ordered a new pair of she and I got them today. Now the question is, are they chisel toe or square toe? Not looking for opinions on the shoes, as to whether you like them or not.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Square in my opinion.

That's called a swelled edge. It's common on tweed jackets, but not standard so you should ask for it specifically.

I love gray flannel trousers. Love. It's an unhealthy obsession. However, it wears quickly in the crotch. I found this article yesterday:

http://putthison.com/post/23674835650/worsted-vs-woolen-flannels-i-love-wool-flannel

Can anybody give clearer instructions on how to find worsted flannel? I would love to try a pair.

Howard Yount flannels are worsted.

Best deal in a wool overcoat, single breasted for my Dad for Christmas under $1000? Something charcoal, simple and warm to be worn to work.

Luxire?

Should leather gloves coordinate with your shoes? Ex: Wearing charcoal overcoat and black shoes. Would brown leather gloves be too out of place?

 

[akatsuki]



Luxire?

Nothing custom, since I don't have his exact measurements and want it in time for Christmas.

Basically thinking something from one of the affiliates must be better made and better quality than a Burberry London piece.

Penny loafer in walnut or brown/chocolate...which one is more versatile? I wear slacks with shirts and jeans
