What is this Palm Beach jacket...
This points out the importance of understanding the difference between Palm Beach fabric and the Palm Beach company. This is a jacket from the latter, and probably not made of the fabric. -
Spectator Shoes
What I want are the Broadstreets in brown and white. But those haven't been made in years. Every so often a pair will pop up on Ebay, often the Olympic edition they made for Atlanta '96. They are always out of my price range.- Orgetorix

Spectator Shoes
The bourbon and bone combo has been discontinued, in favor of a black and white version. For this year, anyway. It'll probably change again in a season or two. The only place you'll be likely to find the bourbon/bone combo now is at AE outlets.- Orgetorix

What are you wearing today??
I'd have phrased it a bit more politely than Jerekson did, but I agree that something seems slightly off. I think it's the proportions between the slim-cut jeans and the bulky upper body with three not-particularly-slim layers. I do think that LuckyStrike's pose, with one arm raised...- Orgetorix

What about the classic White Suit?
If I ever manage to get to Batsakes in Cincinnati, I'll ask Gus Miller if he can do it. I tried to go last weekend, but got there a few minutes after he closed up. -

Cufflinks and Shirt Studs.
I like them too. How can you tell the metal content on things like this? Are they marked? I ask because I'm curious as to what the two pairs I posted above are made from, and I can't find any markings on them.- Orgetorix

Cufflinks and Shirt Studs.
Actually, that looks like five studs, three white and two black. The set ought to have had a pair of cufflinks in place of the black studs. Something like this:- Orgetorix

Morning Coat Alterations??
My morning coat didn't need that much taken in, so I don't know for sure if it's possible or not. Adding waist suppression usually isn't a difficult job, though if it needs a lot taken in sometimes the alteration has to go up into the armhole as well. My advice is to take it to the best tailor... -

SELF-TAILORING FOR THE WILLING GENTLEMAN.
I have altered trousers hems before, but I took apart a jacket sleeve one time and couldn't figure out how to put it back together.- Orgetorix

Tv Characters with the best suits currently on tv
I don't know how meticulously accurate the show is, but I've enjoyed the costuming on Foyle's War, a WWII-era show on ITV in the UK. -
average sizes?
No surprise that manufacturers' practices may vary, but I can pull lots of trousers out of my closet that all measure to within half an inch of the marked size. As to the jacket, I think my point still stands: Brooks Brothers intends their size 36 jacket to fit the average man with a 36"... -
average sizes?
No problem. Not at all. It is perfectly normal for a man's waistline to expand as he gets older. It doesn't happen to everyone, but even men in good physical shape with a low body-fat percentage can experience this. I have customers in their sixties who run several miles a day and eat a... -
average sizes?
I don't buy the whole vanity sizing thing, at least not for men. I don't think men's clothes are sized significantly differently than they were at any time in the 20th century. This is because of the way men's clothes are sized: not an arbitrary number like 2, 4, 6, etc., but keyed to a...
