relining a jacket?
I have a vintage woolrich jacket I really love the look of, but it has this polyester pile lining I hate. It traps all my sweat and makes me damp and smelly. It doesn't look like it's sewn on super tight so I'm thinking of taking it to a tailor and asking for a lighter lining or some wool lining to match the shell. Has anyone had this done before? I can attach pics of the piece in question if necessary

Relaxed fit shirt that looks dressy
I am looking for a white oxford-style shirt that is relaxed enough to be comfortable. The ones I have tried are very tight and restricting, any recommendations?

Anywhere I could get a fully non-synthetic suit?
I can't stand synthetic fabrics, they feel awful on my skin and make me sweat like crazy. Is there anywhere I could buy a matching suit jacket and trousers with no synthetic lining? I'm flexible on budget since I don't see myself needing more than one suit.

Japanese shirts have terrible fits?
I have tried to buy a few shirts from Japanese brands and all of them have the same exact problem. The sizes run insanely small, so I need an XXL instead of a usual M or L, and when it fits in the waist and neck, the arms and chest are still super long and skinny. Has anyone else noticed this problem?

Selvedge with polyurethane?
I found a nice pair of black selvedge jeans and was thinking of buying, but I noticed they are 4% polyurethane. I'm wondering if it's worth the price at over 200. Wouldn't it make them not very breatheable? Why would they add that?

Necklace chain with easy clasp?
I hate struggling with clasps on chains. Is there a chain you use that is easy to open and doesn't involve fidgeting with tiny switches?

Leather jackets with no lining/non-synthetic linings?
I want to buy a leather jacket but I hate polyester and nylon and other plasticky textiles. I would like something unlined, or lined with wool, cotton etc, including in the arms.

Boots that won't kill my flat, over pronate feet
I have flat feet and over pronate. This causes a lot of foot pain if I don't get the right shoe. I need a (goodyear welted) leather boot that can help with these issues. If anyone else has the same problems let me know what's worked. I'm thinking maybe Grant Stones bc they have wide sizes
