    Thoughts on lambskin leather jackets from Schott?

    I've purchased a Classic 118 Schott Perfecto made from cowhide a couple years ago, I generally like it although one complaint I have(that I have also seen from other people as well) is that it's pretty heavy and bulky. I'd prefer to have something much lighter that I can wear anytime, including...

    Options for buying leather pants besides Vanson?

    I was looking for some advice on getting a pair of leather pants. I previously bought a pair from Vanson, but they were really constricting and heavy and I really just didn't like them. I understand Vanson is considered a good brand so I'm not knocking them, but I'd like to know if anyone can...

    Cheaper alternatives to YSL designer style leather jackets?

    I was looking into the possibility of getting a leather jacket that's a different style from my current one(Schott Perfecto), and I really love the look of YSL's leather jackets. They generally have a sleek kind of style to them and look more like a "fashion" jacket and less like a classic...

    Is it worth it trying to get the sleeves hemmed on this velvet shirt?

    I bought a really nice leopard print velvet shirt recently, and I love how it looks and fits. However, the sleeves seem rather long: You can see how far it goes down my hand that's hanging down. Does anyone know if it would be feasible to have the sleeves hemmed a couple inches? I wasn't...

    Any good suit recommendations?

    I was interested in getting a really nice suit, something nice and fitted and classy looking. But I didn't want to spend thousands of dollars trying to get a Tom Ford(either from the site directly or second hand), or trying to spend that much getting one custom made. Does anyone have any...

    Does my hat sit on my head properly?

    Can anyone let me know if my hat is sitting on my head properly? I was worried that maybe it was sitting too high on my head, but I wasn't sure and figured I'd ask for outside opinions.

    Quality of recycled leather for clothing(such as leather pants)?

    I bought a pair of leather pants before that was made of steerhide, which sadly ended up being too stiff for my liking(since I'm not a biker and am wearing this for fashion). I recently just saw a pair of leather pants being sold that's made from recycled leather. Is recycled leather good...

    What is the proper fit for leather loafers?

    I bought a pair of leather loafers today and need an opinion on the fit.

    Durability of lambskin for boots?

    I was interested in this new pair of boots from YSL, however the one concern I have is that they are made from lambskin leather. I have a pair of boots from them already(the Wyatt) which are made from calfskin. So far they have held up well, and I have seen posts and videos from people who own...
