Nice thread. You guys have many good suggestions. However, I would like to disagree with just a few of them.
No grey suits.
Aw, come on now. It’s not all that bad is it? I admit that grey can be boring, but it doesn’t always have to be. Grey is a very appropriate color because of its...
I think that old thing is uselsess and you should send it to me right away so that I can "take care of it" for you, he he.
No. I think that your coat is a mens coat, yes, and i think that you have a nice article of clothing there in your hands. Keep it, take care of it, and use it often.
I...
I don't believe that for a minuet and any so called "advisor" worth his weight of salt wouldn't either. Why? It is because a suit only enhances who you all ready are.

Thanks everyone for your input.
Yes, I agree Feraud, the illustrations don’t tell us what we really want to know before making an online purchase. It would take a degree of faith, or perhaps foolishness to purchase something so personal and particular an item that we have only seen drawings...
I think you wear the look well Big Man
Big Man, this is a site that I visit to learn what the “standard” professional opinion is for men’s wear.

You mean to tell me that my only options for republican candidates are a bunch of yahoos that don't know to have their pants hemmed?
I don't think that one of those jokers is wearing a tailored suit, let alone a decent fitting ready made one. And what is the deal with everyone on television...
Thanks Alan
No, my user name came from a customer of my folks business. I used to be a technical support representative for my families small software company and one of our customers had that name. I liked it at the time and used it for various forums and what not. It was nothing really...
Outstanding, Thank You.
Outstanding post my friend, I have read 3 of the articles posted and I will most assuredly read them all. It is as I and others have said before. We have to start from scratch and relearn how to make clothing that works in function and does what it was originally...
Yes, I have learned a few things about knit fabrics and their construction such that I am skipping my plans on socks for the moment. However, the real pain for creating knits is in the construction of the fabric itself and not as much the clothing items that are then made from the fabrics. As...
Don't Hire Him. Your First Impressions Were Right
I have to agree with the original posters remarks and disagree with most of those who have commented about it.
This guy was going for an interview for a job and it was completely obvious that he did not prepare in the least for it. He jumbled...
Do you know for a fact that sweat shop labor isn’t used to create the Magnoli line? How can you be so “damn sure”? Magnoli never admitted on his web site where the clothes are actually made and who makes them. How can you, in good faith, say that you are “sure" of anything regarding Thailand...
I too am completely disappointed by what you have brought to light here.
For the 500 dollars that Magnoli charges for a suit and the 80 dollars that he charges for a shirt, I would have expected that he was making the clothing items himself. Instead, it seems that he is contracting out the...

This web site will give you a ton of great advice. I plan on purchasing books on these matters, yet I am hip deep in learning the construction of such clothing at the moment and coordination with other outfits is secondary right now. I...
Ok, here is something official for you fellas to chew on. Here is a photo from the book,
Classic Tailoring Techniques, A Construction Guide for Men’s Wear

Contrary to popular belief, the most comfortable armhole for a sleeve is...
Pictures of the Coat
Here are some pictures of the Ralph Lauren Trench Coat.
From these photos you can see the things that I liked about it enough to keep it instead of sending it back.
