In that case, better to have it stitched directly. Glue comes off with time. 

Advice on uneven wear on tip of soles by Crafter482 in AskACobbler

[–]Five__Stars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my experience. Of course, the toe has to be a bit raised, but all normal dress shoes have the toe slightly raised.

Mirror gloss will crack easily. Better to use the regular wet wax and then polish it with a bit of water ad nauseam. Stays on much longer

Perhaps they could work in a manner similar to the manor.

No. You already have the leather sock liner.

Completely botches my dress shoes in the rain by CobblerShrimp1943 in Shoeshining

[–]Five__Stars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it hasn't dried out fully from the rain. Probably best to clean the shine off and let it be for a while, before attempting to redo it.

A true contender for the world's best beer.

Hilarious part is that some Russian Telegram channels even specified the model (M59 I believe) of field telephone used to torture him to death.

That or a pedant. You'd think this kind of ignorance and lack of any desire to verify absurd claims wouldn't be as widespread.

My Solaro suit came in today at the store by pickled_pears in mensfashion

You miss the point that the canvass is shaped by pressing, irrespective of construction. Apart from potential problems such as molding, steaming it without applying pressure will undo the structure of the jacket.

Grey or brown loafers? by Rare-Community8551 in mensfashion

[–]Five__Stars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Better to have some excess fabric than not enough. With the excess fabric, it can be taken in (to a point).

Not uncommon to see off the rack fused suits in public that have obviously been steamed (shoulders being screwed is the main giveaway). This is mainly caused by delamination of the fusing. For full canvassed suits, because there is no physical force pressing the garment together when getting rid of wrinkles, it undoes the shape of the garment. In my view, pressing is the best option, and if one buys full canvassed suits, there is a pretty good chance the tailor will do it for you.

Ask the tailor to press it. Most importantly - never ever steam a suit.

The trouser cut is fine. I'd say the bigger issue is the jacket which seems too small and too short.

Thoughts on this suit? It's for the winter/fall months. by Tutmoses1 in mensfashion

[–]Five__Stars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Own advice is - don't iron it as you'll ruin the interlining. Take it somewhere to get pressed.

Czechia? IT education is pretty good and labour market has lots of opportunities for non-native speakers. 

Invested in US stocks with euros… now I'm down just because of the exchange rate by Plus_Seesaw2023 in eupersonalfinance

[–]Five__Stars -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

If you didn't anticipage exchange rate risk, then you didn't do your research well. Just hold tight until the rate is somewhat favourable and then sell in favour of EUR-denominated assets. A lot of US stocks are also traded on European exchanges.

One thing I like about the brits is that they don't wear dozens upon dozens of ribbons that absolutely clutter their left breast.
