    Valstar leather jackets vs. Pricier Luxury Brands

    Want a suede bomber-style jacket. Style and aesthetics aside, how do materials and make stack-up when comparing Valstar to: 1. French Leather Jacket Makers - Seraphin - Chapal 2. High-end Luxury Brands - Loro Piana - Brunello Cucinelli - Hermes If I save money and buy a Valstar, will I then...

    Did “streetwear” die with Virgil? Do you care?

    I am not a regular SW&D participant, but I’m genuinely curious: what are perspectives on the “streetwear” trend over the past ~10 years? It seems rarely discussed or addressed here, even though the trend has been clearly quite dominant. What mention I do see tends to be dismissive of even...

    Bespoke western shirt?

    Thinking of having a bespoke western shirt made-up. I have a number of Saint Laurent versions, but they are sub-optimal in fit as they are RTW. Not looking for a dressy western shirt or a dress shirt with western shirt detailing, but an honest-to-goodness denim western shirt for casual wear...

    What tea did you enjoy last night?

    Hmm, I don’t think this thread exists. Here we go! Last night, I tried some very old yancha, a 1997 Horse Head Cliff shui xian from Essence of Tea. Very interesting experience as compared to every other Wuyi oolong I’ve ever had, which I assume has to do with the exceptional age. I brewed it...

    The OneShirt v2: Out of Many, One Shirt

    After 3-4 years of going back and forth to Paris and iterating on an order here and there, I finally pulled the trigger on a new shirt arsenal from Charvet. The fabric is a "chambray." Someone will zoom-in on these pictures and tell me otherwise, but I'm beyond the point where the technical...

    Who the f*ck is running the show at Swaine Adeney Brigg???

    Trying to order a bespoke bag, but evidently nobody in the store has been with the company for more than a year. Not very confident in communicating properly with them or that they know what's possible / not possible. Do I need to fly to London and order the damned thing in person to get some...

    Important and Titillating Sartorial Observations

    Wearing new 21 oz. flannel suit today. The drape and line are bonkers, and it all but eliminates the need for an overcoat (so, actually, it's economical?). But holy ******* is heavy--I mean, physically heavy. I find myself actually getting tired after standing in it for more than a few minutes.

    Help an ex-MC guy pick some boots

    Looking for casual/streetwear boots. To be worn with skinny grey/black jeans. Think SLP. Should also be pairable with a DR motorcycle jacket (just got an L01 and have a green Addict jacket on the way). Obvious solution seems to be SLP boots--which I am not entirely opposed to. I'm thinking a...

    Merz b. Schwanen t-shirts?

    Looking for high-quality basic tees and came across this German company: https://merzbschwanen.com/en_US/ I like that they have so many different kinds of neck openings. The deep rounded V-neck and boatneck are particularly intriguing. I ******* hate really small crew neck openings. Rounded...

    The New Art Thread

    I think there might have been an old art thread, but it's long dead. So here's a new one. I'll start it off with some work by younger/emerging artists I'm currently enjoying. Russell Tyler (born 1981)

    Downtown vs. Uptown

    After seven years on the comparatively bucolic Upper West Side, it looks like we're being forced to move downtown for more flexible real estate options. As a married couple without children (though one or two could happen), we've loved uptown life. It's a more uniformly pleasant neighborhood...

    Lavabre Cadet is now owned by Camille Fournet

    I was planning to order some bespoke gloves from Lavabre Cadet on my upcoming trip to Paris but discovered they've been acquired by Camille Fournet (the watch strap makers). Anybody know how this transition might affect the product?

    Bespoke Seven-fold Rubinacci and Cappelli Ties

    Eight Rubinacci and Cappelli ties for sale. Each is Italian "seven-fold" (read: actually six-fold) with hand-rolled edges. Most are completely unlined (indicated when there is interlining). Each was ordered bespoke and thus potentially one-of-a-kind. All are in unworn or excellent condition...

    Suggest new music for me!

    After a nearly decade-long hiatus, I am trying to listen to new music. Essentially, my taste and knowledge stopped evolving when I graduated from college (2004). I grew up listening to 90's alt-rock (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Radiohead, etc.), which I still very much love. In...

    Due diligence: best shirt under $250?

    A friend's asked me to recommend shirts for less than $250 a piece, and I am blanking out. All options, RTW, MTM, bespoke, etc., are game--so long as accessible in New York City. Thoughts?

    Educate me on Alumo

    Alumo's website sucks. I am not happy with the 120s stuff they make. Too hard. What are the other ranges? Soyella 170's? Soyella Duecento 200's? Salvatore Triplo 3-ply 160's? I've heard these mentioned by name but can't find much meaningful detail. In feel, how do they compare to the Italian...

    The Thread for Discussing Bespeaking Bespoke Shoes

    I understand there are threads for showing off already-made bespoke shoes, but I couldn't think of one dedicated to discussing the trials and tribulations of ordering them. So, here you go. Back in the summer, I met with Dominic Casey from Cleverley to order my first pair of bespoke shoes--a...
