Stretching a topper?
I just picked up a vintage hard-shell silk top hat on EBAY. It's marked size 7 1/2, but it's quite snug on my normally-7 1/2 head. Is there any hope of stretching this thing at all? It's snug all around, but I could probably get by with just a bit more length. It doesn't have a leather... -

Flogging white pique evening dress waistcoats and [shortly] vintage morning trousers
Ahh...lovely waistcoats. If only you'd listed them a few weeks earlier, but I've fulfilled my need now.- Orgetorix

Scans from ESQUIRE #1 - 1933
The brown check three-piece is my favorite. Beautiful. Anybody know about the shirt at bottom left on the formalwear page? I assume we're looking at the back of the shirt, and that it fastens in back. But what's the horizontal strap thing? Some sort of waist cincher?- Orgetorix

Okay to wear matching patterned tie and suspenders?
I tend to avoid matching things too exactly; I just think it looks too contrived. That said, I generally don't pay much attention at all to coordinating my suspenders with anything else I wear. I almost never take my jacket off, so who's gonna see them?- Orgetorix

Financial Times: "‘Bespoke’ ruling fails to suit Savile Row"
Even the phrase "entirely handmade" is misleading. It sounds like every stitch is done by hand, but even Savile Row tailors use machines for the long, straight seams, especially in trousers. Which is not to say that the term "bespoke" isn't important and shouldn't be protected from being... -
Spring/Summer Flannel Slacks
As Tomasso and others have often noted here, the weave of a fabric has as much to do with how warm it wears as does the weight. Flannel wears appreciably warmer than a worsted cloth in the same weight, and a dense worsted wears considerably warmer than an open-weave cloth of the same weight...- Orgetorix

what color/pattern best denotes "successful" businessman?
A double-breasted suit with a double-breasted vest writes the book on overkill. Even a 3-piece or a DB suit sans vest is, sadly, overkill in today's world. I think you need to go with a conservative 2-piece single-breasted suit. Make it one in a nice fabric and get it fitted perfectly, and... -
