Hi All, I'm not exactly sure how the top part of the vest should look. As labelled "1" below in the front view, should the vest ideally end right where the collar meets the shirt? Would it a big deal if the vest ends before this point (hence leaving a gap showing some shirt) or after this...

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anybody knew of a good alteration tailor in the montreal area. The ones I tried weren't good enough. Right now I'm considering these two Mike Alterations HPadar I don't really want to go trough the trial and error route again (or just error in my case), does...

Bought these Isaia blazers from YOOX. Greenish one is size 36 from the Argento line. Light fabric in size 36. Navy one is flannel (wool, silk and linen). Size 38, from basic main line in Gregorio body. Shoulders fit fine on both jackets. Navy one is very relaxed fit, I can easily fit 2 fists...

Hello, I'm looking for some heavier winter trousers, and O'Connell's has appealing options. Can anyone characterize their fit, particularly in relation to J. Press's trousers? Thanks in advance.

So, I like a tailored / slimmer profile on my jeans. Not full on skinny jeans, but tailored / tapered. I loathe baggy or even moderately baggy jeans. Nice, clean straight lines that work for the office or out with friends. The problem? I have huge, muscular calves. Just the way I'm built...

Hi everyone! I'm collecting photos for me to show my tailor when I go there for some alterations. I found pictures that suits what I want, but finding photos of the back of a well fitting suit on the internet is quite hard. I'm aiming for a classic style. Could anyone point me to a thread...

Just want opinions if this Blazer looks ok, bearing in mind its a slim fit one and i think the bottoms like that cause the vent has not been cut yet Thanks

Hello, I have a pair of shoe trees. But there is something wired, they fit my shoes but creat a push slightly above the lowest line of the shoe. This push creat a very ugly wrinkles. What is the causes of this? It’s the case on tow pairs of shoes. Is the shoe tree the problem? Am I doing...

I am in a quandary regarding a pair of burgundy Alden tassel loafers. I stumbled across a pair for sale on Ebay for $139.99; mind you I am a size 14 shoe, so this is somewhat of an anomaly to find a decent shoe for a good price on Ebay. They are a AA/B width and show signs of significant...

Hello Everyone, By way of introduction, I am a self-proclaimed clothing/fashion nut having first twigged into fashion (with horrific results incidentally) at the rip old age of 13. I subsequently worked at a men's suiting store for a year at the age of 18-9 with again tragic results, and have...

I've been wearing Bills M2 size 34, but never been quite happy with the fit (too baggy). I'm really about a 33 waist anyway. I've been wanting to try a 33, or even a 32, to see if I could get a trimmer overall fit. Today I did, and they were much better. The 33 is much smaller overall than...

I just bought a pair of Clifton's, my first pair of Allen Edmonds. First of all, I was surprised that I wear 8.5 in AE, when I usually wear a 9.5 in dress shoes and a 10.5 in running shoes. Anyways, the length feels OK - my toes never hit the end or anything. However, my feet feel like their...

I've been trying to get into the buying a better shoe as an investment. I have tried on all of the Allen Edmunds shoes from the current collection and nothing seems to fit quite correctly, especially the 5 last.(The 7 Last almost fits well but unfortunately is no longer around) I tried every...

Gentlemen, I know this has been beaten to death but I have a different take. I fit a 7.5D in the AE Hinsdale, a blucher made on the new #8 last. I ordered PAs in 7E per the recommendations on AAAC. I received them today and am sort of surprised. The length and width are just right. But they...

I recently thrifted a Burberry trench coat that seems a bit big, but I'm not sure how it is supposed to fit. When I have it over a thick suit jacket, the sleeves end a couple inches into my hand, and the length goes about 3 inches below the knee, which seems good. However, when I belt it, the...

Yesterday I measured my chest to place an order at www.moderntailor.com (a brilliant site, though this will be my first order), and I came in at 36 inches. Which got me thinking, what does suit size mean, really? Last summer at the rental tux place, they tried to give me a 42 (I'm tall and they...

First time poster, go easy, etc. etc. Does anyone have any recommendations for trying on shoes. After finding this forum and a few other sites, I've gone on a bit of a shoe buying spree. While each shoe felt great in the store, only a few of them have felt the same once I've gotten home. A...

I'm looking to buy a sport coat. I currently don't own any, but I need one for a trip I have scheduled in July. My measurements are: Chest: 35 in Overarm: 37 in Arm Length: 32 1/2 in Neck: 16 in What would be my size according to the above measurements? I'm 6ft 1/2 inch tall and weigh...

I just received a pair of the Alden Plain Toe Blutchers in Cigar Cordovan. I normally wear a 11.5 in D width, but I'd say my feet are on the wide size for a D. I sized down a half size like many people here have recommended (11 D), and overall they seem to fit fairly well. My only concern is...
