Formal winter shoes for people with big / wide feet.

Hello, I am looking for some new shoes, preferably dress shoes that are good for the upcoming winter. I sadly have the problem of having really wide and big feet. I for example usually wear the Size 49.5 / US 15 with Nike Shoes like Air Force 1, Jordans etc. (48.5 also fits somewhat, but need a lot of wear to stretch). The price is not really important, aslong as the quality is good and the shoes are warm. I have already thought about some shoes from Lloyd, like the Jason or Nigel models but sadly these are rather narrow shoes. Does anyone know if there are comparable alternatives for people with feet like mine?...

Largest reasonable drop for RTW and MTM tailoring?

Hello! I have a 40 inch chest and 30 inch waist, though often get closer to 41/29 depending on the season. I understand standard drop between chest and waist measurements is 6. Is it reasonable for me to find a good suit that’s either off the rack or made to measure with these proportions? Any particular brands known for a muscular build? (I’m also very short - 5’4 - with broad shoulders to add to the fun proportions) Thanks!...

Formal shirt fit driving me insane...

I really like to push the boat out in my work wear, wearing neutral chinos with neutral shirts every day basically, maybe chucking in a quaterzip here and there - very avantguarde I know, might be too crazy! I am really struggling with shirt fit though: without exception all shirts I've tried are either far too tight around the chest or far too baggy around the waist. My (actual, not shirt) measurements are 15.5" neck , 42-43" chest, 31" waist - none of these are abnormal measurements but it seems that any shirt that fits my neck and chest is designed to fit a 37" waist with acres of flapping material, and anything that reasonably fits a 31" waist makes me look like I'm trying to do a superman impression. I do prefer a more tailored fit (but not a very tight/skinny fit) in shirts; baggy shirts drive me nuts and I'll just sit there constantly pulling and tugging them to try and make them fit properly. Can anyone recommend any UK available options that might fit my build, or am I destined to just commit to custom tailored shirts? I would like to ditch the shirt and chinos altogether, but old habits die very very hard with me. Realistically I wouldn't want to be spending more than £125 per shirt, although sub £75 would be ideal. Cheers!...

Silly question about venting on a coat

I just bought a second hand double breasted overcoat, and noticed what looks like single venting around the back (pic related), still sewn up at the bottom. Stupid question, but this is regular single venting and the thread holding it closed should be cut open, correct? It's not a new coat so just want to shake any doubts that maybe it was left that way intentionally by the previous owner for a good reason and I've just misidentified it....

Frugal alternatives to Drake’s scarves

Drake’s makes the best scarves. Full stop. The colors, the patterns, the length, the beautiful silky drape. I love them. I don’t however love the $400+ price point. Any alternatives worth mentioning? Closest I’ve found is x of pentacles (don’t love their patterns as much) and all blues co (wool / yak mix instead of silk)....
