I recognized that acorn. The tailor finished mine just two weeks ago. The red and white striped oxford was fine, but the plain white oxford from them shrunk in the wash... Acorn: [/quote]

Thought I'd share what I wear. Temps here get down to the -40s F in winter. When its that cold I'll wear wool socks with these. Lately the lows have been about -15F or so and I wear these with thin socks. The interior shot is of a...

Thanks for the replies. About how wide is the opening? I'm imagining a fairly wide opening, but that makes me think it would make the front of the pocket droop in an ugly way. (And a way that would over time distress the material) Pass...

I recently had two shirts made up from Acorn fabric. One from the Grange range and one from the Kent range. After washing them a few times I've seen that the shirt from the Grange range comes out very wrinkly. It takes 3 or 4 times as...

My girlfriend works for burberry and helps to do up the mannequins that aren't already specified by their corporate office--so she has a pretty good sense of style. We agree about 90% of the time when it comes to mens clothes. Once...
