I like whipcord for winter and have a pair of trousers in Dormeuil's 15.5 oz whipcord from, I think, their Casuals book.

For summer, I like Hardy's heavyweight linen, but their colours are pretty conservative.

Are Huntsman's jackets narrow? I have never heard this before. What is everyones' thoughts on harmony between coat and trousers (thinking specifically of odd trousers not with a suit). For example, would a slim, elongating Huntsman type coat coordinate best with a slim, flat front trouser? I had alw...

A good idea might be, in the new design, to keep some of the old. This might make things more of an evolution, as opposed to a revolution. Old members will still see a bit of the old site they have come to like so much. Indeed a 'frozen' archive of the 'old' site might be a very prudent inclusion. ...

I'd like to see your articles posted in a blog format on the site. There are many insightful contributors to the site, but I think your articles stand apart. Some of your articles are posted under "Alden's Journal", but most of them are not, and consequently get lost in the forum. I'd like to be abl...

Wish you came to the Great White North.

Yialabis, That cloth is beautiful (image above must be clicked to get a sense of it). Is it a worst...

Interesting point, Yachtie. I tend to opt for tapered legs but have 11.5 shoes... albeit b width (aka "skis") I'm 5'11.5", slim and am around a 11.5. For trousers, I've settled on 21 inches at the knee tapering to 19 inches at the ankle. I think anything less makes the shoes stick out. I consider i...

I also like the colour. As well, the buttons look very nice. They are horn? To what degree is the jacket lined?

"I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach."

I think people wore white flannel in the olden days.

Nice! You are ready for the grouse moor. What NHTC tweed is that?

've never asked, but I'm sure if I brought in a length of cloth they'd make it for me there. It might require a little negotiation but they're all very reasonable and I'm quite positive they wouldn't turn me away as a customer. I asked Achod and he said he would have no problem making from a custom...

which when you consider start at $2500 are a real bargain I had a pair of trousers made by Achod before Christmasand, price aside, I am very pleased with them. My problem is that I just moved to Toronto and can't justify going to Montreal for clothes. I figured I would just go to the Harry Rosen he...

'The gent on the right wears a “track suit” in brown flannel with white bold chalkstripes" http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/6049/brownchalkcopy8yh.jpg I can hardly imagine a world where the term "track suit" commonly refered to something like this. Truly, it was a better (dressed) time. Also, I n...

I like the nailhead idea for a brown suit. Lessers and Harrisons (13 oz Thistle book) have nice brown nailheads. I also think I saw an attractive one in Scabal's 13 oz book. I have a 3-piece in the Lesser 13oz nailhead. I think it is one of two browns in that book. I think it is nice. It is a very ...
