    Ventile

    I have Lost Worlds ventile jacket and contrary to popular belief, ventile has the ability to absorb water to some degree (not totally waterproof). For light shower, the jacket will do fine however not under big rainy day as ventile will absorb the water as normal cotton. Having said all...

    how big is the chest circ. of your jacket???

    I have an actual 36" chest circumference with 29" waist and standing at 5'7". My build is slim but a bit stocky. Throughout "trials and errors" over the years I found 19.5" armpits would best accommodates me as the chest will fit closer yet not too tight nor loose (I like to wear my clothes...

    What to look for in bespoke vs off-the-rack suits?

    Seconded all the advises above. Perhaps a suit can be broken down into fit, cut, fabric, colour, pattern and construction. IMHO fit, fabric and construction are equally important, after that cut, colour and pattern. However having said that, in general, fit is the most important factor...

    A-2 Horsehide, bespoke Japanese suit, Pendleton wool shirt

    now on eBay Hi, I'm a 36S (being a 166cm) and the suit has a loose fit on me but the length is too long. I don't mind with the loose fit as I can bring it to a tailor and tape it down to fit me however with the length, it is harder. In my view, the suit is good for someone who normally...

    Where can I buy Lexol or good leather conditioner in Sydney?

    Thanks heaps for all the responses! Much appreciated. In that case how would one treats a vintage leather jacket then if the conditioner root the inside? I'd love to treat my vintage jacket and shoes (not vintage) since I've never applied the conditioner since I got them. From my...
