I've found a Canali Travel Water Resistant wool blazer ebay that looks like it may fit me and is available at a good price. I'm unfamiliar with travel, water-resistant wool blazers and have no explicit need for these features. Is the wool treated in some way that results In any noticeable...

I recently got a sweater with an unusual blend, 45% nylon, 30% cotton, 25% merino wool. (from JoS. A Bank's, 1905 Collection) Being very interested in nylon blends and how they perform, I thought to carefully evaluate it. This might be of interest to others thinking about getting these sort of...

I have a pair of burgandy AE Grayson tassel loafers that I'd like to pair with quality dress pants for work everyday (sometimes with a blazer). I know machine washable wool means a terrible compromise in quality because it means a blend, but the lady of the house says she will only support...

Hi, I really enjoy the quality and design of Polo Ralph Lauren clothing. Especially the fabric softness be it wool or cotton is simply superior to me when comparing to other brands. But I get more and more annoyed about the small polo player embroided everywhere on their clothing. Is there...

There is a particular fabric I'm looking for a piece I'm recreating that I'm having a lot of trouble finding. I know it's a woolen weave, but that could mean several different things. Despite all my searches, I still have been unable to find anything that looked quite like this: Does anyone...

This has been asked/answered before, but not within the past few years. I'd like to find a decent pair of trousers for travel. Based on wearing wool trousers during normal life, it seems like a good choice for travel...however, literally every single pair of 'travel pants' are nylon or...

Don't know how describe it... It looks like some eraser dust. Why does it happen?

When I ordered this , it came smelling like a musty warehouse. I tried to take it to a dry cleaners but they weren't able to dry clean it because of these metal belt hooks. I'm thinking about taking it to a tailor to get them removed. While I'm there, maybe I should get the plastic buttons...

I've discovered that some users here swear by wool socks for hot weather. I'd like to try this myself, but I wonder: are they are talking about regular ribbed socks or about socks expressly made for hot weather from a thin wool fabric? If the latter is true, then I'm having an hard time in...

I saw these in Costco today for $50 a pair. They are pleated and cuffed, a light weight wool gabardine made in Italy of Italian fabric. The quality is really good for $50. I never expected to write about clothes in Costco here but if someone is looking for bargain slacks these are about as...

I was looking at a Zegna Su Misura suit made from this blend: 52% Mohair 24% Wool 24% Silk. Anyone familiar with the hand of such fabrics? Worried about the sheen and the feel (may be very stiff). Can anyone tell me how the fabric drapes - is it similar to an all wool or wool/cashmere suit or...

I'm looking to invest in some new sweaters, and sweater vests. What are the best companies or brands that you would recommend ? I don't know much about what would be a good high end or a poor low end sweater or vest. I was thinking of playing it safe and simply shopping at places that are well...

I have an old bucket hat that is 60% wool and 40% synthetic (not sure what). It was in storage for several years with a friend and came back with an unpleasant sweet smell, like a cheap, bad perfume. I've aired it out; I've washed it; I've wrapped it inside my Barbour coat, which makes...

Hello all -- Anyone happen to know which fabric would make a more comfortable summer suit, assuming lining and all other factors are equal? 1) 60% wool, 35% mohair, 5% silk or 2) 85% wool, 15% mohair I am inclined to say #1 due to the higher mohair content, but I'm not sure what...
