    Suit Quality Assistance?

    Pattern matching on RTW is relatively easy as the pattern is even and symmetrical. Bespoke patterns are cut to accommodate anatomical flaws (dropped shoulders, poor posture, large girth, etc...) which makes pattern matching problematical.

    What is this?

    While it does result in keeping the points in place (as do stays/bones) the main purpose of collar pins/bars (as well as snap/button tab collars) is to push the tie out away from the collar stand to create an 'arch' effect. The knot needs to be kept tightly tied and fixed in place to achieve...

    What is this?

    Fred looks to be wearing a collar 'pin' rather than a collar bar.

    Introduction

    Re:Vintage..... Over the years I've found that the consensus of antique dealers is that antique is 100+ years and vintage is 50+ years. The U.S. Customs Service set the antique number but nobody seems to know where the vintage number came from.

    A somewhat fancy hat stand?

    A few years ago over at the menswear forum Ask Andy About Clothes one member named Kirby made a coat/suit hanger that other members found superior to anything available in the market place. Several members asked it he would make some hangers for them and before long there was such great...

    Mad clear through, dagnabbit!

    Sports coat as outerwear

    I once saw a fur lined tweed sportcoat hanging in a tailor's shop in Geneva. The tailor said that the customer planned on using it for ice skating. Or was it for an ice skating coach. I forget......And somebody (Brooks Brothers?) used to offer a Thinsulate lined tweed sportcoat as well. Either...

    What's for Dinner?

    I feel much better, thank you, since I crapped out those pesky crustaceans. :) Not to me right now, sadly, considering that crab and shrimp are prominently featured on the menu of my 'last meal.' But not to worry, I'll bounce back.;) BTW, your in-law needs a talkin' to.
