When I visited the south side store, I had my own car. The trip was a good half-hour from downtown, so I imagine based on fares I paid for shorter distances, it would be obscenely high. I'd say 50 easy.
Matt's latest project, detachable collared shirts!
It's been a while since this thread was bumped. His attached collared shirts are looking great as well.
Bumping up an old thread to show off Matt Deckard's most recent project with his dress shirts. Took this off his Facebook page, hope you guys enjoy. I have two (non-detachable) collared shirts on my way from him, now I'm wishing I knew about these first.
Matt, any other shots of how you build...
I always used to wear pocketed dress shirts, and used the pocket. But years of having them too low, baggy, awkwardly sized, finally got to me. The clean lines and smooth elegance of a pocketless shirt won me over... Bit of an adjustment not having a place for a pencil, small notebook, glasses...
Wish we knew more about the size
Also maybe a measurement of how long the points are in the front,so they're no white from a waistcoat escaping from the bottom - always why I've been hesitant to buy evening tails without being able to try it on in person

Hi,
Due to some very poor judgement on my part, the silk lapels on a 30's tuxedo of mine were damaged. My only solution is to search for a tailor or clothier who can hopefully re-line the lapels with new silk. Beyond possible complications such as whether this is even possible, I am looking for...
Thanks! Haha and actually 3... I picked up one of their wool caps as well. (I took two of mine in for renovations too)
Optimo sells a very good quality Milan, although not quite to the quality of a vintage one (or at least this particular Ecuadorian). The Supernatural has a much tighter and...
Thank you Chepstow! This is what happens when I don't post on the Lounge for a while... I'm backlogged for about 6 months and I wanted to share these haha
Thanks again for the kind words everybody. It was a great experience seeing both shops in person, and I cannot say enough how wonderful Tiffani is to work with!
Dean, I wasn't aware Winchester had ever made a pure belly fur silver belly. I would be interested as well to see these two felts...
