    Hello, I was wondering if some of the British users here could recommend a good tailor that can handle serious alterations somewhere in the West Midlands.

    Suit fitting and alteration advice

    Hello everyone. I got this suit for very cheap money and I'm looking forward to see if I can get it altered to fit better. It does not have any label and looks rather modern. The cloth however is nicely heavyweight and has a soft hand. Trousers fit reasonably well to me, while the coat has (at...

    Altering the amplitude of notch in a lapel?

    I don't think this has ever been discussed before. I was wondering to what extent one could alter the amplitude of the angle of the notch lapel in a finished garment. More specifically: I have inherited a sports coat from my grandfather, in very nice flannel material, that was made by a local...

    Odd waistcoats with thick black wool suit

    Recently I bought a lovely vintage suit made in a very thick wool cloth, probably Melton Wool. I was wondering about an outfit to put in with that. It's surprising how black can be hard to match without the doubt of appearing too formal! Do you think a plain red waistcoat, not a dressy one but...

    Height of jacket armhole related to outer/inner sleeve lenght

    Hello everyone! I think many of you are certainly aware of the fact that most jackets sold today in RTW stores provide an armhole so deep that, when sitting, you can hardly put your forearms on a table without pulling and unbalancing the jacket. And if you're a skinny guy with small arms...

    Lambourne 60s suit

    Hello everyone! I'm going to buy a vintage country suit, dated presumably from 1960s, from Lambourne, Phillips & Piper. I was wondering if someone knows this brand and how their clothes are made. I'm interested in canvas construction and, mostly, armhole shape/highness. I'm obviously aware of...
