    A second pair of trousers?

    The point is not to wear it more often--the jacket still needs to rest between wearings. The point is to prolong the life of the suit, since most people wear out their trousers before their jacket. I don't have any suits with extra trousers at the moment, but if I was having a suit made and...

    Ah. In that case, no. Not unless you're in the same line of "business" as they were.

    Cary Grant's Jacket - What Kind is it?

    I think cookie was speaking metaphorically, expressing his appreciation of seeing the end of that jacket's story, as it were. Or at least this chapter in its history.

    (50s?) German Leather Jacket Sz 40

    A slim Asian fellow came into the store where I work this evening looking for a size 32 suit. Not surprisingly, we weren't able to help him.

    Where to buy socks?

    My favorites are Jos. A. Banks' cotton argyle over-the-calf socks. Comfortable, they don't shrink like some wool ones I've had, and they stay up all day.

    DB jacket project

    I have a 4x1 Polo RL brown flannel suit that's quite vintage-looking, but the button stance is too low for my tastes. So I took it to the tailor, and he's going to move the buttons, add a buttonhole, and re-press the lapels so the upper button is functional as well. Here's the before...

    I Cut My Optimo Brim...

    It may depend on your head size, but PanamaBob might be able to (eventually) get one for you or have one made for you.

    larger sized suits

    I think Big Man also got a 3-piece from one of the online tailors (Mytailor.com or Mycustomtailor.com, I think); maybe he'll pop in here.

    Shirt collar shapes in the UK...

    Which of these is closest to what you mean by a "regular" collar? I would classify these as moderate spread, medium spread, forward point, and cutaway, respectively. Brooks Brothers, in the US, has shirts with styles 1, 3, and 4 that have French cuffs.

    Bleaching 30s collars?

    Forget the spray starch. These instructions were posted on the Yahoo group Stiffcollarmen: Disclaimer: I have not tried this method (yet). My first stiff collars are on their way from the UK at the moment.
