This is more of a 'this or that'...
Pretty set on picking up a Needles Rebuild jacket - but which one? I was set on the shawl collar initially, but for some reason the peak lapel is calling out to me...


PEAK LAPEL



SHAWL COLLAR

Peak.

eg charcoal railroad stripe bedford? does popping the collar w/ peak lapels ever work out well?

Buy it!
And yes, I often wore my Bedford with the peak lapels up. Does not look weird, imo.

Question: I found a pair of Brioni olive wool pants ant Neiman Marcus Last Call that fit me close to perfectly, and which are gorgeous, reduced from $875 to $175 which I was about to buy without hesitation until I noticed that the reinforcement stitching bar (please excuse my complete lack of proper syntax knowledge...) at the top of the pocket hole was pulled loose with an approximately 2 mm hole in the fabric where the pocket attached, which if the pocket could be stitched up again, would be unnoticeable. Unless of course, the stitching didn't hold or the fabric around hole started to come undone. Is this a repairable fix and should I get the pants?

Great find!

A good tailor should be invisibly able to do the alteration at not too high a cost

I would snap them up before somebody else does!!!!

 

[Casualguy]

Thanks for the advice. I'm going back tomorrow to pick them up. Any recommendations out there on a good tailor in the Baltimore, Easton, MD or DC area?

Gorgeous!! I say yes!!)

 

[LelandJ]

Drives me nuts paying to get it lined, need 50% off to justify fabric and tailor cost.

 

[gettoasty]

It should be half / quarter lined. All you really need is the sleeves lined, which I think it is...

 

[LelandJ]

I know Yoox makes description errors often so I should've zoomed on the inside earlier. You're right it's partially lined:



Now I have to figure out how often I'd wear it.

[Auximenes]

Sleeves too short , no ?

 

[kindofyoung]

Eh, literally every casual shirt I've ever tried on has had too short sleeves, have kinda stopped caring about it.

 

[DLester]
