DBNT: THE BULLIES OF #MENSWEAR
i admire the effort some of y'all put into this.
i have a LOT of nice clothes but im soo lazy and tired in the mornings.. i'll usually just throw on a comfy button down and some chinos. i literally always roll into the office as my shift starts
i'd like to start ironing the night before and have my ish ready
how yall feel about steamers? i aint about that ironing life.
I haven't even taken either pair of my ludlow pants to the tailor yet. Got the Italian wool joints. Paid full price but I like them. Been wearing them OTR and even getting compliments. They need a little work though. Tighten up the waist a little bit and shorten them a tad. That's why I'm so tempted on the jacket because I feel it will be very good fit OTR as well. Hmmm...
It doesn't take much effort to pick out my outfits to be honest. That's the beauty of not doing the matchy/matchy thing like back in the sneaker days. There's usually something I work around...something I want to wear, be it shoes or a tie or whatever, and I think about the rest. I usually do this when I drive home or something Save as in the brain and pick it out when I wake up.
couple of questions for you guys:
1. when you get alterations done by a tailor, and it looks great when they pin it, but doesn't look quite right when you get back the finished product (like you ask for a no break hem, and it's still a little too long, for example, or the taper is too tight/loose and the pants don't drape right), will they fix it for you? or do you basically have to pay for a whole new alteration.
2. can some of you guys post side views of your suit fits? i've recently gone from "slim straight" trousers to slim to get a more tapered look, but the pants don't seem to drape properly despite feeling like the right size.
Exactly. I can bring a pair of pants to my tailor that I got done months ago and tell her it fits funny, and she will fix it at no charge.no self-respecting tailor will double charge you. if you are unhappy or want something changed a bit more they should alter it further at no extra charge until it is to your satisfaction.
Adrian can probably help out with #2.couple of questions for you guys:

Combo sounds fine but really understand what these dudes are saying.Interesting. So if I go get the waist of that jacket I posted earlier taken in then I shouldn't pay a dime? We'll see what happens with that when I go back.
I'm Also primed to do the wedding thing next week and am going to buy a tie off the tie bar. Wanted to go with a green/Navy mix. Suits going to be Navy, white shirt, and walnut shoes. Yay or nay?
Good point. I really didnt tell them to do much except raise the sleeves to my desired length which I think they did a good job on. I had no intention of even wearing it anyone until it was mentioned that it could be saved. If I would have to pay for that touch up I wouldnt object.Combo sounds fine but really understand what these dudes are saying.Interesting.

If you bring something in and say you asked the jacket to be worked on in general, you cannot be act unsatisfied that it didn't come back against your specifications, if you never made them. Now if you told the tailor to suppress the midsection, different story.
Even if you had a pic, you need to say exactly what you want to be done. For example, if you say work on the sleeve and he only adjusts the length but does not taper the arm, you cannot come back stating you are unhappy. Mention everything that needs to be done. You can't expect your tailor to read your mind.

Can anyone direct me to a pair of suede double monks in the USA for 300 or less?
I know a few from europe but don't feel like ordering from there unless I can't find a pair in the states.
