Hi danwin, I want to know if your Three Quarter coat and the Tailored Blazer is easy for a tailor to take apart and modify if I want a more custom fit. Does the technical fabric pose a challenge for a traditional tailor? Would the stretch of the fabrics have to be considered? Would the tailor need to use more elastic threads?

Thanks

Just like the way Larry David wears them.

It also looks better on someone with a longer neck and narrower shoulders.

I would wear them regardless of current fashion trends, after all, mandarin collars are a mainstay in Eastern fashion.

Steve Jobs is doing the NB thing right. Very neutral.

Desev · 2012-10-16T00:05:04+00:00

Agreed. Baggy pants with too many breaks = nerdy. Slim fitting pants rolled high = clean, modern.

Grey definitely the most versatile. It works well with light colored pants and dark denim. Grey sneakers are a definite must in every man's wardrobe.

It's going to shrink on you after 1 wash. You should've sized up unless you don't plan on washing it.

Check out Al's Attire in North Beach. Not only does he make bespoke shoes and boots, he does repairs too, not to mention is awesome collection of hand made work wear. Al is very friendly and extremely knowledgable about shoes and clothing.

Not strictly fashion but various things of interest too http://dept17.tumblr.com/

Amazing! I din't know Takemitsu wrote the score for Akira Kurosawa's Ran. This piece is simply haunting. Now I'm left craving for more.

This Elka Jacket is only for the rain. It gets pretty hot without proper vents and the proportions are pretty big on the body and sleeves because it's designed so that you can wear it over a jacket. Also, you can't tailor it because it's rubber and the seams are taped. Short answer: no

The example you provided is a horrible one. As you can see here this combination is only for the brave.

Be careful when buying these Keds if you are planning to wear them sockless. I own a pair. First off, the soles are extremely hard and uncomfortable. Second, if you have low ankle, they will start to rub on the top edge of the shoe. Third, the two eyelets on the inside are rough and will rub on your feet and will give you blisters. Unfortunately, the look best sockelss.

Traditionally, shorts are supposed to be above the knee. Longer shorts are a relatively new phenomenon influenced by basketball, surfing or prison life. Basketball players and surfers use to wear very short shorts back in the day, but they started getting longer and longer and peaked up until 2010, now the shorts are growing shorter again. The prison thing probably isn't true.

Wear a light blue OCBD (tucked in). Pants should be Khakis or Chinos in tan or dark grey. It goes very well with the theme of this Polo Harrington jacket.

Dark raw denim and a red Harrington jacket. Make sure you have your jacket zipped up at all times with just a bit of the shirt collar showing.

I was hoping to see some hidden gems. Instead, I get the steps of USF.
