At some point when I was in college I acquired this little battery operated razor gizmo that works well on pilling fabrics. It is better suited to smoother fabrics than fuzzy ones, but I have used it for years and it has extended the life of many of my garments.

In reply to Stan.

Thanks Stan,

Great hint! I could apply that on a pair of (in spite of proper care) awfully cracked John Lobb monkstraps. Which of Sofolk’s products have you used, they seem to have quite a portfolio?

Thanks again,

Sven

Good article, but how about suit pants that are worn to a shine, not worn out or through; but, now have shine in the fabric at the seat?

In reply to Luqmaan. It might be cheapest to provide your tailor with a new collar or new cuff, just to attach to the shirt. I would suggest to buy the collar e.g. at Darcy Clothing and the cuffs at TM Lewin, where they are marketed as pre-folded pocket square set.
