    So I stretched the shoulders of a cotton Tshirt by 1" - Implications?

    I actually have similar experience with Gustins. From unusable to comfortable and nice fitting! It does take a month of so of wears to make it feel like iit was made for you. Selvedge is fun like that :)

    So I stretched the shoulders of a cotton Tshirt by 1" - Implications?

    Probably huh? Welp, I'll wear it and see how it molds. Gotta love the new age of internet purchases - For every bargain there is an unfitting garment :) Education costs i guess

    So I stretched the shoulders of a cotton Tshirt by 1" - Implications?

    So, I bought very nice 60 dollar cotton T-Shirt from abroad, waiting 3 weeks to get with customss delays.... The shoulders are about an inch short off the published chart. Having no abiliity to return it and fuss over 60 dollars I decided to wet it, hang it from a coat hanger and put a 2kg...

    [Scammer Alert] "Red Tornado" outerwear on Ali Express

    Well, as far as i am concerned, he is official. If RT reads this and thinks otherwise, they are welcome to chime in or go ban this guy. Until then, he is Red Tornado. If its called Red Tornado Official, then it'a red tornado until proven otherwise.

    [Scammer Alert] "Red Tornado" outerwear on Ali Express

    Not misleading, Red Tornado Official Store is the name of the store. I am not knocking their quality, i am knocking their morality. They stole money from me, nothing short of that- and the service is mostly bots typing premade stuff in broken english. Lesson learned

    [Scammer Alert] "Red Tornado" outerwear on Ali Express

    OK, so I ordered this waxed jacket from Red Tornado via Ali Express.... Size 2XL. Red Tornado sends a message afterwards saying it's not in stock, asking what other size to ship (stupid question) After a few more minutes, he actually ships some other size without giving me a chance to cancel...

    Constant 95F temps and outdoors - which fedora?

    Right, the straw strattons look good at about 150 from what I can tell! You think I can submerge them in detergent once a week? I dig the chinese hat if all else fails :)

    Constant 95F temps and outdoors - which fedora?

    So this will be my first hat, I need something that will be able to protect me daily working outside at 95F from 6AM to 5PM while maintaining some sort of style. (The middle east is a nightmare in the summer) I will browse around the brands myself, but regarding materials for such sweaty...

    Fit check: 25" length vs 26" length on a 6'2" guy.

    Thanks very much guys! @Aloysius I agree - Filson, the king of this waxed cotton thing has absolutely no 25-26" jackets in their catalogue... It's the Rogue Territory thing that started selling that style, and that jacket shown above is a 1:1 clone of it. I agree though that I like the Filson...

    Fit check: 25" length vs 26" length on a 6'2" guy.

    How do you condition Horween Nubuck?

    So I picked up some used Horween Nubuck boots in gray, and I was wondering if I should condition them in any way? I heard that it's like suede, and that leather conditioners will just stain it rather than condition it. Should I just let it be then? They are nice and clean but I don't know, is...

    Ali Express Leather jacket on the way!

    OK, it ended up great on the shoulders and chest but the tummy is too large (it's got a nice 24" pit at 4XL but a 23" waist which is too roomy for me), just like Aero's and Schotts. I don't want to burn another 150$ trimming it at my guy because I just had a Schott done this month. The leather...

    Does anyone here have the Red Tornado RGT supply jacket clone?

    Looking for a jet black selvedge denim jacket

    @Edward cool! Do You have any measurements on this coat? Someone on the prison blues website comments said he was 6'2 225 and fits a Small, so that means they run ultra big.

    Golden Bear vintage A2?

    So I came across this what appears to be a 70's or 80's A2 from Golden bear, made in USA with Talon Zippers and it was just my size... I picked it up at 90$ As a curious jacket head, would you say that this is a nice piece or just meh? I'm always interested in the history of the used stuff I...
