    You're a brave man, I wouldn't let my kitties anywhere near my ties.

    1920s suits

    There have been lots of designers showing a 20s shoulder over the last decade, the Japanese (Yamamoto, Miyake, Watanabe, to name a few) in particular. Jill Sander and John Varvatos come to mind as well. The 20s shoulder is a very unforgiving treatment that requires just the right physique to...

    Has it. I hadn't noticed. I do know that the rental shops carry all the different kits and will mention that black tie is for evening wear.

    Disappointing rennovation - new member intro.

    Disappointing rennovation - new member intro.

    Yeah, sometimes stuff gets buried around here. Here's a thread I dug up on Batsakes that would have been helpful to you and which also mentions the best hatter, IMO, to use for repair/renovation. http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?26644-Disappointment-at-Batsakes

    Disappointing rennovation - new member intro.

    When somebody else reported an unpleasant run in with Gus a while back I 'yelped' his shop and found more accounts of shabby customer service. I posted a link in the thread but I guess the OP didn't see it.

    Vintage Style Clothing Store in Paris?

    Given the two shops referenced by the OP, I doubt the Cape Cod Shop will fill the bill. That's not to say that Marc couldn't come up with some nice repro leathers.
