    What to wear with PoW check trousers

    I’m not sure I quite follow. Black shoes have been de rigueur in the UK for centuries and separates have been acceptable attire for far longer than matching suits. There is nothing incongruous about my question. In fact I’d argue the PoW check is actually rather conservative.

    What to wear with PoW check trousers

    Ah there it is: the sneering sanctimony of styleforum.net.. Frankly I have my own ideas but wanted to canvass opinion. Thanks for your suggestions none the less.

    What to wear with PoW check trousers

    Thanks, they are also mid-grey with no overcheck. I have ordered this suit from Suitsupply. I think the jacket could go with the trousers with a white shirt and club tie?

    What to wear with PoW check trousers

    hello, I’ve just had some high waisted Prince of Wales check trousers made (VBC 110s) but am not sure what to wear with them. Would a navy jacket (flannel or worsted) work? I work in a conservative environment in the UK - black shoes are a must, but separates are permissible.

    Suitsupply NYC

    Thanks all. The job is with HM Diplomatic Service. The irony is that until not so long ago a three piece pinstripe suit was practically de rigueur there.

    Suitsupply NYC

    Hi, I'm starting a new job where the dress code is very traditional. I already have a dark navy Suit Supply suit which i'm very happy with and plan on getting the others I need from the same place. If I had it my way I would just buy another couple of the same but I can't just wear navy.. I...

    Prince of Wales check suit: what shirt and tie combinations?

    I have quite a bold grey Prince of Wales check suit. I don't wear it very often because I've yet to find a shirt and tie combination that goes well. White shirts seem to be too washed out for starters. In principle a light solid blue shirt with a darker solid blue tie seems to present itself as...

    The Watch Appreciation Thread (Reviews and Photos of Men's Timepieces by Rolex, Patek Philippe, Brei

     haha. I'd rather have the £18k + the replica than the calatrava tbh. I suppose it could have been a gift. He wasn't really into collecting watches as such. The dayona and the calatrava were gifts.

    The Watch Appreciation Thread (Reviews and Photos of Men's Timepieces by Rolex, Patek Philippe, Brei

     I will investigate. He left me a few other watches as well. One was a white gold Daytona which I had overhauled and then sold to watch shop on Burlington Arcade. Another was a rose gold calatrava that was a lot heavier than this one which I sold as well. Neither of them were really my...

    Guide to shoe lasts / where to buy narrow fitted shoes?

    Hello, I'm interested to know more about different shoe lasts. I've seen shoes referred to "on the 360 last" for example, and can only guess that this pertains to the shape of the shoe. Is there any resource which has a list of all the different lasts? Or are lasts not standardised between...

    My grandfather left me the Patek Philippe. Its not particularly old though. The other is a pretty standard Breitling navi. I bought it while doing my PPL.

    First Pair of Mid-Priced Smart Shoes, Help! - UK

    Those Loake Strand are definitely my favourite out of those. I think burgundy would be more versatile than the other colours pictured. As you mention you'll be pairing them with navy khakis - well, a brighter brown or tan will probably look too conspicuous. You could wear the burgundy ones...

    Backless black tie waistcoat

    Hello all, I'm looking for a backless black tie waistcoat. You used to be able to get these everywhere but I can't find any RTW ones anywhere. This one: Is RLPL and the only RTW one I've seen. Does anywhere know where else might have them? Alternatively, evening wear waistcoats in general...
