Redhead74 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Sorry, but I couldn't own a pair of boots where the shaft is all nice and shiny but the vamp and counter are dull. Deal breaker for me. I would pull those babies out of the box and feel automatically compelled to polish them up. Clean shoes are a must. On a related note, the cat scratched up my Wolverine 1000 miles the other night. I spent like an hour trying to buff that shit out. Little bitch.Yeah, what a bitch.Not sure whether to: or Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Nova Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I'm thinking about buying a few more suits. What's the latest trend in suits? I don't particularly like the "tight fitting" look. They will be worn in a business/professional setting.Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Try to keep the price tag under the $500 range per suit.

streak Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Double breasted suits are coming back. I am not a fan though.I do like the 60's suits though, nice and tailored, slim and fitted but not skinny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len Cnut Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) The clothes that you actually wear in the pics thread suit you a million more times than any of the Lebowski models ensembles that you post man, you got a style nailed, that guy just looks like...i dunno, crap. More fuckin' guitar players need to dress smart, suits and that. You wouldn't see Muddy Waters of The Wolf poncing about in a pair of dungarees.

The making of a suit is a really intricate procedure. Even when it's 'off the rack' a good suit has more work inside than what is apparent from the outside. And a suit is something that shouldn't be made from crap fabrics considering how often it is worn. It's one of those few items that you need to invest in quality and you will be rewarded day in day out for that investment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is that most people don't fit the 'standard' measurements. Whether it be body length or the upper/lower body ratio, most people end up with something not quite fitting right. And then there's the factor that off the rack suits don't use the same techniques in making it that a bespoke tailor uses. A 'great' suit is one that fits really well and wears really well over time. To achieve that a mind blowing number of hand stitching goes into the inside of the suit, like this:These stitches are applied to the whole front of the jacket with the collar having these stitches about a quarter of the size (and therefore 4 times the work). It keeps the structure of the suit in good shape for many, many wears. A mass made 'off the rack' suit doesn't have any of this hand stitching and as a result you get sagging and sloppiness after multiple wears. Unfortunately the mass producers haven't been able to make machines that recreate those hand stitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
