    French cuff question

    In the recent cold snap, I took to wearing some French cuff shirts with the cuffs overlapped. By this I mean they were buttoned like a standard barrel cuff. It wasn't comfortable with twist back links, obviously, with the twist back on the inside of the wrist. But it worked well with some silk...

    Removing elbow patches

    I have a new OTR sports jacket that I really like, but I'm not digging the elbow patches. I'm not wild about patches to begin with, plus they'll be sitting in the wrong position once the sleeves are shortened, i.e. they'll be too close to my wrists. Anyway, I'm considering having my tailor...

    Two large straws, size 7-3/4 (62)

    Stetson Rockport size 62 This is a size 62 Stetson Rockport in white Shantung Panama purchased new from Bencraft in 2012. Hat has little wear, but there is some discoloration at the brim break in front --- it looks like the sweat band leached a little dye into the straw just below the ribbon...

    New J Peterman English Travel Jacket - size 48 in Navy

    For sale is a NEW J Peterman English Travel Jacket, size 48 in Navy. The fit is more like a blazer, so not too roomy in the shoulders. I am a size 46 and it fits loose enough to wear a beefy cardigan inside, and not look too big in the shoulders. I'm selling because it is a heavier weight cotton...

    Fuzzy Taupe Borsalino 7-1/2

    This is a nice fuzzy hat for fall and winter. The finish is medium long hair, the color is dark tan - I believe it’s Borsalino Taupe. The felt is fairly thin and takes a center dent and side pinches easily. Brim width is 2-3/16” and it is flanged fairly deeply. The ribbon is dark brown, 1-3/4”...

    New Milan Stetson Stratoliner size 7-7/8

    I have a new Milan Stratoliner, the color is sand. The size is marked 7-3/4 but it measures out to a true 7-7/8. The hat isn't offered in this size, but it seems they're running large. I'm waiting for a return label to arrive - until then, it is for sale for what I have into it ($91.80) plus...

    Peaked lapel question

    On peaked lapels, there is a often (always?) a bit of thread holding the actual peak of the lapel to the rest of the collar. I always assumed this was meant to remain in place and help the lapel lie flat. Mostly because on the couple of double-breasted jackets I have, the thread is the correct...

    Regular vs. Short jacket

    I'm wondering what would be the differences between a 46R and a 46S jacket. I know the sleeves and skirt will be shorter, but by how much? I have a memory that the difference in sleeve length is a couple inches (which will work fine for me), but don't know the length difference. If anyone has a...

    Adding a third button to a two-button jacket?

    I'm wondering if converting a two-button to a three-button jacket is feasible. Has anyone done this? I searched the lounge and found nothing on point. I'm sure it can be done, but not whether it can be done well. Obviously the lapels must be reshaped - but can that be done by pressing only...

    Unwanted folds in jacket

    I have a new Halston suit, 3 button, double vent purchased last week at Filene's Basement in NYC. It's quite nice, all wool, dark charcoal with light blue pinstripes. The problem is this - the jacket has soft vertical folds on both sides of the front opening, a couple of inches from the edges...

    Suspender button placement

    I recently bought a couple pair of trousers from J. Peterman that have buttons and am really liking wearing suspenders. I'm looking to add buttons to perhaps a half dozen more of my pants and want to do it right, as I plan to buy a couple or three pair of Albert Thurston braces. I've done a...

    Opinion requested - windowpane blazer

    I'm on the fence about ordering this J. Peterman windowpane plaid blazer. The color appears to be a medium tan with black/blue windowpane detailing. Of course the lack of photos is a problem, but any opinions on it based on the sketch? The listing for the jacket is here...

    A new 7-3/4 teal Borso for sale (not by me)

    A friend pointed out this ebay listing for a new size 7-3/4 Borsalino in teal. I'm not in the market, but thought another big-noggin lounger might be interested. The BIN price is pretty good. I have nothing to do with the sale personally...

    Orvis Hardwick washed tweed blazer

    I'm curious if anyone has first hand experience with this 3-button blazer from Orvis: http://www.orvis.com/store/product.aspx?adv=99656&pf_id=2X64 It seems to be very difficult to find a 3-button tweed sport jacket these days. I went to Orvis to look at this one, but they didn't have it in the...
