    Lots of stuff. Suit, blazers, ties, etc.

    Do NOT PM me. I don't check the site enough. If you are interested, send e-mail to cgordonkerr @ gmail.com OK, with that out of the way, I'm trying to make some room in the closet so the following is up for sale for anyone who is interested. Some of this is less than phenomenal so feel free to...

    topcoat alterations?

    Does it make sense to have a topcoat/overcoat tailored? I have this camel-hair one that I got from BR that I really like. According the them its a size small and it fits well in the shoulders, and reasonably well in the chest. But the rest of it feels pretty big. Would it make sense to have...

    from the sartorialist...

    granted, I've seen quite a fair share of questionable outfits on the sartorialist's blog, but this one is such an exception I had to share: http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html#8937163999076986630

    A request to any UK members: grey flannel suit...

    So here is my predicament: I really want a charcoal grey flannel suit. I would especially love it if I could find a 3-piece, would love it even more if it fit right, and would be ecstatic if I found one in my price range. I plan on using it (sans waistcoat) for interviews and such, so...

    Here is what I came up with: What do you guys think?

    Grey Fleck Suit

    This just arrived. It needs alterations, so it's going to the tailor's tomorrow. It's just a tad big on me, but not so big it can't be made to fit great. Here are photos before any tailoring is done: (please excuse the 5:00 shadow) This was the eBay auction...

    FL member sighting?

    I was downtown LA for court this morning around 10am and walked right past a guy who looked straight outta the Fedora Lounge. He was wearing a hat, had a vintage tie, pocket square, and spectators. Very short hair, possibly shaved. White guy. I was crossing Hill going towards the courthouse and...

    Grey Flannel Suit

    The latest issue of GQ has a section on what to wear for fall, and the suit they picked out really struck me as cool. Now, granted, it's a Thom Browne, so the trousers are probably close to being Capri pants, but nonetheless... it's a charcoal grey flannel suit. And a 3-piece at that...

    The High Collar Shirt

    So here's the deal. I agreed with everyone here when they told me a higher collar would suit my longer neck better. I still do. However, after a couple days of work wearing my high-collar shirt with tie, I find the shirt to be totally unwearable for any considerable period of time if worn with...

    Saggy pants are obscene

    Not sure we need laws against them, but I'm not exactly opposed to this either: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=461775

    Mr. Rover's black suit request

    Here ya go. Sorry about the lack of pocket square; I really don't have anything that would work. I'll get one sooner or later here.

    4IH knot, straight collar.

    Don't expect to see this from me on any kind of regular basis: I know what's coming next and I'll save you the trouble: Yes, I know how to dimple a tie; No, I don't usually care to.

    Magnoli suit photos?

    The search function proved extremely useless. I'm looking for photos of anyone who has purchased a Magnoli suit wearing the suit. I'm sure these have been posted somewhere, but I can't find the thread. I can't afford to buy another suit right now but I've got it in the back of my head that...

    Opinions on H&M cotton khaki suit

    This is an adventure in modern suiting, so true die-hard vintage aficionados may wish to avert their eyes. OK, now that that is out of the way, here's the deal. I've wanted a cotton khaki suit for awhile. It's good for summer, and as a Los Angeleno, that pretty much means it's good year...

    Linen Pinstripe Trousers

    So these are pretty amazing: http://www.sierratradingpost.com/p/177,18452_Riviera-Pinstripe-Dress-Pants-Linen-For-Men.html However, the smallest size they come in is a 32. I've searched the net but have yet to find anything similar available in a size 30 waist, or at all (aside from this...

    Double Indemnity oddities

    I was watching my collector's edition Double Indemnity DVD yesterday that my parents gave me for Christmas and I noted a couple of things on this, my umpteenth viewing. (As a side note, I was plussed to see this DVD featured in issue one of Classic Style after having just received it as a gift...

    Opinions on Silk Sportcoat

    Here's the deal. I really like one of the looks I see in issue #1 of Classic Style. I know you all have it, so take a look at page 68, the guy on the far left. Here's the thing, as much as I like this look, I don't think there's any way I could afford the actual piece. What I have found is...

    Brooks Brothers dress for success

    The legal fraternity of which I am a member arranged to have a representative from the Brooks Brothers in Century City come out to the law school to give a talk on basic work wardrobe for lawyers starting out at a firm. After the usual sales pitch, I got into a conversation with the guy about...

    How we dress and what we drive

    Everyone remembers the three-piece suit Sean Connery wore in Goldfinger. Or the tuxedo he slipped out of a wetsuit to reveal in the opening sequence. Or even his golf attire, as pictured above. But what would any of these style choices be without proper transportation to go along with them...

    Well, this should be interesting...

    I just picked this up: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=110111308330 Supposedly it is vintage, and hopefully it will fit. If so, it will be my first vintage suit. If these measurements are accurate, the trousers are exactly right and the jacket might be just...
