The (mis)adventures of an amateur alterationist
Suit alteration study Part 4 Next on the agenda was to sort out the unruly lining. I've had trouble in the past with linings, mainly dealing with lining them up properly and having deformations from sewing them on too short. However, in this case everything turned out peachy: After... -
The (mis)adventures of an amateur alterationist
Suit alteration study Part 3 Now that the back was sorted out, I decided to work out the front. Since I wanted to break up the square silhouette of the original coat I decided to give the front hem a taper: This was measured off of another suit that already had this style (a... -
The (mis)adventures of an amateur alterationist
Suit alteration study Part 2 After ironing the excess under the jacket using an ironing mesh and then stripping the original stitching on the lining with a seam-ripper, I was greeted with this mess: Basically a lot of iron-on adhesive used to give the material a bit of insulation... -
The (mis)adventures of an amateur alterationist
I've been practicing the skill of sewing for some time now - practically since kindergarten - and have been working my way up to making my own clothing. However, there are a few mysteries of construction that I have decided that I cannot solve without deconstruction of existing works and some... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Thanks! The tie is actually a recent purchase (at the Daiso) and I made the vest from a tweed sport coat that had some moth damage. It has an interesting pair of dragons screen printed on the lining that I managed to save when I shortened the hem, but no one will probably ever get to see it in... -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Typical Japanese Hat Today I'm wearing the typical type of hat (trilby) that is still widely available at most Japanese department stores. I purchased this one used for about $15 USD at a local "recycle shop." As you can see, the crown and brim are stitched heavily - I would imagine the... -
What are you wearing today??
Today's outfit Today is a rainy day where I am in Japan, but luckily it's not humid. It's my brown shoe and gold jewelry day, so I wore an outfit that matched the shoes: As usual the jacket and sleeves are too long, but I'm working on my tailoring skills on another project (which I'll...- Choeki

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Thanks for the compliments everyone! Sadly, it's not. Basically I bought the last of the hats in my town's shops as they all phased out their hat inventory. The only ones that can be found now (new at least) are no-name Chinese made wool felt hats in the "punk" shops near the station... -

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Thanks! 私は千葉県に住んでいます。 あなたは…？ By the way, is that Dae Jo Yong in your avatar? Yeah, I've just had it pointed out to me by a few friends of mine that the majority of my suits are fitted incorrectly. Part of the reason is because my body type is not well...- Choeki

Show Us Your Purchases....GUYS !
Today's Purchases I went for my daily walk and decided to stop at the Daiso by the train station. I've been going more often because lately they seem to be carrying fairly high quality dress items for only 100 yen a piece. There was a time that the material they used was an awful coarse...- Choeki

What are you wearing today??
Thanks Marty! I've actually been interested in classic styling for a while now, but I only ran into this message board while searching around the AskAndy and StyleForum message boards. Japan is a little funny regarding style since men's fashion (at least business fashion) has changed very...- Choeki

What are you wearing today??
Today the only thing vintage I'm wearing is a blue odd vest (which you can't see in the photo), a 1960's era "Seiko Business" watch with a leather strap (which you also can't see in the photo), and a 60's era Zero Halliburton briefcase. Otherwise, I'm wearing a suit from a US target store...- Choeki

First post Hello all, this is my first post as a new member in Japan. I've been lurking a while and then had a little trouble getting registered, but I think I have some interesting things to contribute. Anyway, here's the hat I'm wearing today: It's a German made, Mayser brand trilby I...
