Jacket size vs Vest size Vs what I measured?
Look at (or ask for) the chest measurement. It should be 2-4" larger than your actual chest measurement. The tagged size, however, should be the same as your chest. -
Indochino suit
No personal experience, but I've seen many pictured at Style Forum. Of which perhaps two didn't look like an awful, ill-fitting mess. -
Goodwill buys
Label like this? Or like one of these? The first is either from Saks or Flusser's custom shop, and is very good quality. The latter two are Flusser's diffusion line from Stein Mart--not good quality at all. -

Canvassed suit & handwoven Donegal tweed, Brooks Brothers moleskins 42L, 34W

Canvassed suit & handwoven Donegal tweed, Brooks Brothers moleskins 42L, 34W
2. Authentic handwoven Donegal tweed, woven in Donegal, Ireland for Kevin & Howlan and signed by the weaver. Lots of things are called "Donegals" but true Donegal tweeds--and handwoven ones, at that--are hard to come by. This cream and gray tweed with an orange windowpane is a beautiful...- Orgetorix

Canvassed suit & handwoven Donegal tweed, Brooks Brothers moleskins 42L, 34W
1. Gray herringbone 2B suit by Eldridge for Harry Rothman. Very nice medium-weight (3-season) wool fabric, a great staple suit. Fully canvassed, handstitched buttonholes, nice constrution all around. Trousers are flat front, no cuffs. Only issue is a spot where the collar needs to be...- Orgetorix

Stiff detachable collars, 16.5
I have three of Luke Eyres' Albany detachable collars in size 16.5", all new, all unworn. These attach to a collarless tunic shirt with studs (not included). Here's the stock photo from LE's website: And here's a shot of yours truly wearing an Albany collar with a tie: While...- Orgetorix

Formal Wear Primer
The ones sold by Brooks Brothers are correct. They're lambskin, but "kid" need not be taken as a hard and fast constraint. The only downside is that they're not sized--just S-M-L-XL sizing... -
Where is the "gorge" on a jacket?
I'll admit to having been confused about this until I started lurking at AAAC a few years ago. -
Double breasted conversion?
Which is why my tailor was OK with trying it on my suit: heavy flannel. -

What to wear to a job fair?
Unless you know that the industry inclines otherwise (i.e., creative professions), you should wear the same thing to a job fair that you'd wear to an interview. That is, a dark, conservative suit.- Orgetorix

Double breasted conversion?
IMO it's a niche look that was questionable even in the '60s and remains so today. Not a classic look, and not one that makes one look good. The great thing about the classic button stance, where the top buttons are set wider apart, is that it echoes the line of the lapels and draws attention... -
1940's Grey Beaver Dunlap & Co Superior
Metropd, it's silly to take something like this personally. The market is fickle, especially for vintage stuff. It may be worth what you're asking, but if nobody buys it at that price, it isn't worth it. Any item is only worth what people will pay. Either keep dropping the price until it...- Orgetorix

Double breasted conversion?
It's the standard Ralph Lauren DB lapel. He's been doing them with that shape for decades. This suit is from the late '80s or early '90s, when Ralph was selling suits that had a particularly vintage-accurate cut--especially in the trousers, which are high-waisted and full cut. He's still... -
Double breasted conversion?
I had this one converted from a 4x1 to a 4x2, which is the same operation. The thread used on the added buttonhole is a slightly different color than the preexisting hole, but it's not very noticeable. Before and after pics:
