    Tip for hat modification

    Lads, I thought I'd show you some pictures of my latest fedora caper, which may be of some use to the more adventurous of you. I got this gray Biltmore cheap. It was two sizes too small and had a dorky back bow: One thing I've discovered in my past hat "manipulations" is that you can gain...

    Making a suit

    Raise your hand if you've done it. I found some amazing thick off-white wool at the fabric store last weekend that I knew would make a killer suit so I bought what was left. Just enough to squeeze a suit out, I hope. I've never made a suit before. I know it will be a challenge. I'm planning...

    Patch pockets with hidden seams?????

    I'm looking at a jacket with patch pockets that are sewn on with the seam hidden inside the pocket. By that I mean that the edges of the pockets have been folded under the outer face and then that underfold has been stitched to the suit body, leaving the outer face of the pocket free of a seam...

    Self-tailoring

    Ok, let's start talking about do-it-yourself tailoring. Is there ANYBODY here who knows about this and can shed some light? I'll kick it off with a specific question. So many jackets I try on get these horizontal waves across the shoulders in the back. What causes this? Is it stretching...

    Allen Edmonds Fairfax

    Does anybody have a pair of these? I'm wondering how the fit is, as far as nominal size goes. I understand they're made on the same last--the #5--as Park Avenues, which AE says is their longest. Do they actually run larger than other models? Could I get away with running a size smaller than what...

    PO'd about stains

    Does anyone know if there's a way to remove the yellowing that nasty vintage dudes have left on the suit trousers we find?

    Is this a Filson?

    My fantastic girlfriend gave me this coat for Christmas, having found it at a thrift store. There are no tags in it but the union tag in the lower right front pocket. It looks like there was a tag in the usual spot under the collar but now all that's left is the stitching that would have held it...

    Date this Tuxedo?

    I found this at a thrift store for $40 and it's in perfect condition save for looseness of the front button. The pants are fairly skinny and tapered and the whole thing is very heavy weight. The union tag is washed out and illegible. Can anyone give an idea as to when in time it's from?
