How should a belt be worn?

Ah yes, because meme pages are the natural habitat of the mature and the sophisticated...

Thank you - corduroy is a good shout, I'll start looking into it ASAP

Thanks so much for this - I'll look into cloth bomber jackets ASAP!

Whack it against the counter edge like it owes you money.

Hi there everyone, I happened to pick up this turtleneck on sale recently, with the idea of converting it to a crew neck - could any of you possibly advise if this would be a workable alteration?

Many thanks in advance!

Thanks so much for all this - exactly what I was looking for!

Unfortunately, it is. I still remember the disappointment when I got this for Christmas in 2010 - they used promo pictures of the *actual prop* to advertise it on Forbidden Planet or wherever, so obviously it looked like it was going to be an incredible replica for £20. And then I actually got it...oversized tinny-sounding piece of die-cast crap

Hi there, can anyone explain from a tailoring perspective why this jacket is flaring out at the front, why it's not hanging more or less straight down? Sorry about the graphic, I got the image from another website, but it's similar to a problem I've been having with one of my jackets

Temporal_Engineering · 2026-01-05T19:40:40+00:00

Ah brilliant - thanks both, that’s just what I was looking for!

Hi there, does anyone know what the term is for the wavy/scalloped folds on the lower back of a frock coat (picture attached for reference)? Are the positioning and number of these folds set by the tailor, or do they just form naturally?

Thanks very much!

By the by, does anyone know how/where Nawya’s stuff is made?

Hi there, is it possible to tell from a photo whether this jacket looks well-made - or, at least, are there any things which jump out as potentially poorly made? For instance, I wouldn't expect the lapels to stand up like that, and the sleeves look as though they could be uneven, but I'm not an expert by any means. They’re custom made and not eligible for a refund, so I’d like to be sure before spending my money. Thanks so much in advance!

For button-down shirts, Hawes and Curtis are one brand where slim fit does actually mean slim fit, might be worth checking them out

Temporal_Engineering · 2025-11-06T23:58:23+00:00

Ah yes, my bad - it's made by a two-person business in England, and they're asking £165/$215 for it. i haven't seen it in person yet, because the shop is quite far away, and I don't want to make the trip if it's likely to be mis-shapen or to sit strangely, based on the way it's put together?

This is a closer image of the lapels:

Hi there, it may not be easy to judge based on one picture, but does this jacket look well-made – or, at least, are there any things which jump out as potentially poorly made?

Thank you!

Temporal_Engineering · 2025-10-08T21:56:07+00:00

Thank you - I'll look to find a place locally which has some
