How often do you wear dress shirts? If you don't wear them often, I'm with Tailor Tom on this. It's hard to beat a custom shirt. I don't even bother with that made in Malaysia garbage anymore. It's either vintage or custom. I don't have a lot of money but, for the material, fit and style, the...
I had plenty of Dacron sportcoats and trousers in my inventory throughout the years. I'd bet 95% of people wouldn't know the difference in a blind feel test. I'm picky and I'd wear it.

MEASUREMENTS: The chest (laid flat, buttoned and measured across from pit to pit is 46". The...
OK. I'm moving 2000 miles away pretty soon and I just can't take this stuff with me. I know nobody wears tux's anymore but, $40 for a 30's tuxedo! Don't want a tux? Make a pattern out of it!
This is a mid 30's single breasted tuxedo with peaked, satin lapels and single button front. Trousers...
John Fante - They did a real nice job with the movie version of Ask The Dust.
Walter Mosely
Jack Kerouac - After reading Desolation Angels in my early 20's, I promptly left home to become a fire lookout in New Mexico on top of an 11,000 foot mountain. Who would have known such a job existed?
