Suit Questions
I'm going to be a groomsman for my friends upcoming wedding and need to purchase a quality suit. Both he and my friend went down to SLC to the StateAndLiberty location down there and picked out suits and tailored them. I have a chance to go down this weekend and do the same but I was curious...
Could I buy something like the Awearness Kenneth Cole CHILLFLEX Slim Fit Suit with my dimensions (I generally know my jacket size (40) and my pants are 33x30) and get a suit that's similar quality?
It seems StateandLiberty is more for larger/athletic builds and I'm fairly average in build, 5'11"/175 and if I purchased from menswarehouse would that suit be adequate? I'd save around $100 or more and wouldn't need to spend hours traveling with him down to SLC. Just trying to figure out quality and not spend a fortune since I'll only wear this outfit on special occasions....
What brand is this? Purchased in Canada but don't remember where.
It's a reversible belt, I liked the colour but it's becoming too big for me. The style code points to Haggard but the branding doesn't seem right. 11HH010002.
down recs
Where would you look for a down jacket? Thinking vintage is the way to not invest too much money. on my list so far is vintage Eddie Bauer and Woolrich but Eddie Bauer seems to have better designs for down. Also would you prefer a shorter or longer jacket? Thank you!
Corduroy Pants - Colors to pair with Tees
Would Black T-Shirts work well with Brown Pants? (Muji Dark Brown or Uniqlo Brown - links next).

Tuxedo Advice
With university rearing its ugly head once more, I’m considering my options for my formals. They’re black tie and last year I simply borrowed my Dad’s tux. Wanting my own this year. Trying to decide what style/cut. I’m 6’1, slender. Generally I prefer double breasted as I feel it accentuates my figure more but unsure if it’s better just to go traditional. Likely buying from ebay/depop etc. Thoughts?
Too skinny?
These are Levi’s XX tapered cords. The fit feels a little…dated? I think they’re more slim then skinny, but just looking for overall feedback on how they look. I’m probably overthinking it.
Excuse my toilet....
What's going on with the lapel on this jacket?
I think there's a button on the back of the notch lapel on the other side, corresponding to this button flap. Is there a name for this flap style lapel? I can't find another example of it. What does it evoke to you? It seems super casual, but does it seem gimmicky or overly weird or dated to a specific era or anything?
Is the tie the issue
This one just didn't work
Would you say it was the color combo, the pattern on the tie or something else? Advice welcome 🙂 slowly learning ties...
ID on Vintage Shirt Maker
Hi, I found this very cool, very soft, probably very old t-shirt but cannot distinguish the maker from the tag. Google Glass is inconclusive, and while I can make out the red script saying "Best Quality", I cannot read ot recognize the logo other than its similarity to Chevrolet. Any ideas, so I can try to source more?
How we feelin about this one fellas? (Flight jacket yay or nays)
I picked up this G-1 avirex jacket on a whim, mostly cause it was pretty cheap, but now I'm trying it on I'm really not sure if I'm feeling it. Not sure if it's too big, just not my style, or if it just veers a bit close to top gun cosplay. Thoughts appreciated!
Does this look like an orphaned suit jacket?
I'm having buyers remorse, it fit me quite well but I think the notched lapels and the pockets are giving off an orphaned suit jacket feel. What do you think? Will it pair with chinos at all or is it too formal?
Converting dog collar to keychains?
Dog just passed (not my dog). Owner would like to get the dog's collar cut up and converted to keychains for keepsakes. What craftsperson would be the best to contact for a custom project like this?

Does this polo-shirt fit?
Hi I would like some advice, I found this polo on sale and it’s a model I really like (only in this size or smaller) with a more shirt style collar. I have put on a bit of weight and I’m not so sure of my size anymore.
Will this just make me look fat? Is it better to skip?...
regular hem or chainstitch?
Ordered these sears carpenters I've been eyeing on eBay. What's the advantage of a chain stitch hem and should I do it instead of having my regular tailor hem them?
