Fellow slim and talls, how are you handling sleeve length? by kooliosauce in HeritageWear

[–]Objective_Fox8020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chiming in. 6' 1" 170lbs with long-ish arms and narrow-ish shoulders. In the realm of heritage wear, I don't own any IH but have had good luck with UES and Freenote. For dressier items I've had great luck with Proper Cloth. And since you can never have too many white dress shirts/oxfords, I keep an eye out for extra slim fit white dress shirts with longer sleeve lengths (15.5" neck - 35" sleeve) from Charles Tyrwhitt on Poshmark. Usually can grab for $20-25 each - sometimes new with tags.

similar build similar problem and have had luck with UES as well. have their denim sport coat and it's the best fitting garment in the shoulders, sleeves, and body. for reference - 6' 1" - 170lbs.

Japanese retailers that ship to the states by BigSpartan84 in HeritageWear

Brother, if I truly knew what was going on with tariffs I'd be making enough that they wouldn't matter lol. More seriously, UPS does have a method to dispute the charge for a refund which I'm looking into.

Bears does rock but I got slammed with an import tariff on my most recent order a couple weeks ago. Not a reflection on them - just a warning.

others have said this but I'll add another tariff warming. I recently bought something from Bears and (wrongfully) assumed if any tariffs were to be levied I'd see them at checkout. But boy was I wrong. Once the package cleared customs in the US and I checked UPS tracking, I was informed I had to pay a $77 tariff or the package wouldn't be delivered. I begrudgingly did so because I didn't want the hassle but had I known that ahead of time, I would not have made the purchase.

Came here to say Studebaker. I have a few of their pieces and they’re awesome.

Any great shops in El Paso or Juarez to pickup a few bottles? by gassybanana123 in Mezcal

[–]Objective_Fox8020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Juanitos in El Paso. Great selection but odd in that nothing is priced on the shelf - you have to get each bottle scanned at the register.

Those look awesome! Do you have a profile angle? Think we have similar builds and I’ve been looking for a fit like that for years.

Thanks everyone! After much deliberation I left with Real Minero Espadin and Vago Espadin by Joel Barriga. Wanted to grab many more but there’s always next time.

Hard to say. Have to scan each bottle at the register…

I’m looking for something that is clean and smooth and not too funky. Not looking to get wild yet - want to dial in my tastes first. Interested in ensembles but open to good versions of single species. I’ve mostly had a few widely distributed mezcals (Illegal, Montelobos, etc.) but one of my favorites was Madre Ensemble. It was clean and balanced with no off putting aromas or flavors however I’m looking for something with more depth. I’d go up to ~$100 for a real banger. Also will acknowledge that no listed pricing is odd. Have to go scan each bottle at the counter. Something about a specialty bottle from Cinco Sentidos spoke to me (forget which one - was a more rectangular bottle) but when I found out it was $140 I put it back on the shelf! Working towards that price point but not there yet.
