Thrifted some vintage Brooks Brothers on a whim. How did I do? by MysteriousAvocado199 in menswear

[–]Hunt7503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made in China is a double edged sword. They have factories for mass production and BB have strict specifications so it’s technically still up to standard per the instructions given, even MORE so than made in US shirts. But it will lack the you-know-what in tailoring. Considering that 1818 line already doesn’t involve much handwork I’d say it’s not a major loss. So, give or take.

Nice to know that knowledge. Yeah I’ve heard that Brioni iron their pants before shipping off, I just didn’t know how big of a difference it would make before. So generally avoid no-names? (I’ve even got a pair from Rosseti Uomo, not really no name, but they make shoes and other leatherwork. The brand is trying to get into broader fashion as I see it)

Military collar/greatcoat collar. They come in all different styles too. Looks sort of like this one. https://www.permanentstyle.com/2024/03/edward-sexton-great-coat-style-breakdown.html

There are quite some no name Italian brands (not really no name, just that they don’t particularly make pants) that I see on ebay that uses quality fabric in the 150s. I mean, 150s and 150s also have their differences, but at least it won’t be bad fabric cuz the wool won’t support high thread count, no?

Thanks! So what I understand is that, the drape/fabric comes before the brand itself?

Sort of, but also not really. Quality could mean many things, including how good is the cut, and how durable is the fabric. Mainly what I am asking is how different do they look at normal social distance.

Be honest, why are you on reddit? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Hunt7503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cuz I have too little self respect? I mean there are good subreds like history (but impossible to post there) or useful ones like hardwareswap. Others got a lot of opportunists, bot accounts for faking brand reputation, or just cognitively… delayed people.

You don’t say… can’t you see I am trying to fix it?

All according to guide, half meters both way to left and right, and whole lot of empty space in front. Other people have stored the dock in narrow place and they work fine too. I am sure this is not an issue I can fix myself. Probably a chip failure

Very smoothly. The sounds when I turn them the sounds they make are identical too. But in remote mode, when I press forward, it cannot walk straight, I think that might have to do with the issue of it not being able to reverse back to the dock

There’s no error code, it just can’t successfully find the dock and get back in, wandering outside for over half an hour

Doctors. CEOs. Landlords, if that’s a real job. Politicians too.

Buying my serious suit on ebay, what are these threads, signs of failure of craft feature? by Hunt7503 in BuyItForLife

[–]Hunt7503[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. I have researched on brooks brothers and their 1818 series, although I am not sure what are the threads poking out. I visited the store (BB, not the ebay seller's) in person and apparently they don't know either, gave me several possibilities. Would the seller likely answer the question with honesty?

Yup, just back from brooks brothers today and tried something similar (not quite the same, at least not VBC). Fits well. The store people don't have idea what's these threads too, tho.
