    Bespoke similar to RLPL

    Something of an odd question. My go-to OTR suit is Ralph Lauren Purple Label. It fits me great in a 42S with minimal tailoring needs, and it can be found at steep discount at times. However, their fabric choices are a bit limited, especially in terms of weight. Even with their made to measure...

    Bespoke trousers NYC

    There was a thread on this a (long) while back but it didn’t really answer my question. Are there any NYC-based tailors who can do high rise, fishtail-back trousers cut specifically for suspenders? Bespoke or MTM is fine. OTR is fine too, but i can’t seem to find any that aren’t part of a...

    Linen suits and braces/suspenders

    On my last couple of MTM suits I'vegone with braces, and find them to be more comfortable than belts. I really like them, despite the odd glance when they are noticed (I work in a hospital so sometimes have to change in and out of a lab coat, etc.) I have an OTR linen suit that I like a lot but...

    Flannel for winter in NYC

    So it's cold as hell right now in NYC. Thinking ahead for next winter, I was considering making a flannel suit down the road. I looked at the Minnis website because a) their flannel is supposed to be good quality and b) its ease of access. But they have a pretty wide range of weights: 11 - 12...

    Summer Sport Coats - harder to do than winter?

    So I'm realizing that I tend to wear sports coats more often than suits, in both professional and personal life. But I'm finding that for some reason it's easier to have good ideas for winter/fall sports coats than it is for summer ones. Maybe because I tend to like my odd jackets dark and my...

    John G. Hardy Linen/Cotton

    Does anyone have any experience with these fabrics? I was thinking #9272 for an olive sports coat, but am unsure how heavy this is. I'd rather it be on the light side.

    Chukka help - looking for reddish brown color

    I recently got a pair of C&J Belgraves in "polo brown calf suede." It's become my favorite pair of shoes. I was looking for a chukka in a similar color of suede - not dark brown, not tan, but a rich reddish brown. But I'm not having any luck. Does anyone have any suggestions? Much appreciated.

    Recognize these Crockett & Jones shoes?

    I saw these suede shoes on Ebay. They look like a blucher version of chukkas. I like the color - darker and richer than snuff but not as dark as the Connaughts (though that may be due to flash.) Anyone have any knowledge on this model/last? Yes, I asked the seller but he hasn't gotten back to me...

    Crockett & Jones Chukka (200 Last)

    I was thinking of picking this up. Anyone have any experience with this last? It comes unlined in a D width, so I'm a little unsure how it compares to, say, the 337 last (in which I take a 10E UK.)

    Windowpane suit, flat front pants... cuffs or no cuffs?

    I'm looking at a charcoal suit with a white windowpane pattern, classic appearance. The trousers are flat front. I know "Da Rules" say that means no cuff. But I was under the impression that windowpanes and pinstripes call for cuffs. Am I wrong? If not, what should I do, cuffs or no...

    Windowpane: Sports Coat or Suit?

    OK I get that pinstripes are only for suits, not sport coats. But windowpane patterns: I've seen them for both. What's the deal? Are some windowpanes better for SC and others better for suits? I'm asking because for my second MTM garment I want a windowpane, but I have more suits than sports...

    Help picking brown oxfords

    Looking for some input on my next pair of shoes. I'm looking to pick up a pair of brown oxfords to be worn with suits. Right now I have a black cap toe, dark brown suede Connaught (C&J), and Ralph Lauren Darlton brown cordovan wingtips. My suits are a range of grey (charcoal, charcoal with...

    C&J lasts: 236 and 337

    I know, I know, another C&J sizing thread... But I searched but couldn't really find an answer to this specific question. The C&J 236 last (Connaught) fits me pretty well in a size 9 UK. Would I get a comparable size in the 337 (Audleys)? I know the 337 is a bit narrower. Many thanks.
