    best suit movie / suit movies top 10?

    Thanks for the info. Glad to learn new things. Yet I still believe Moore had a suit that had somewhat wide and low-gorged lapel by today's and his shirt had much too big collar.

    Kiton Tie..... Real or Fake? Found on Ebay

    I've got a few Kiton ties I bought at Lane Crawford or other reliable shops in Hong Kong. None of them have tags near the keeper. As Maximus aptly pointed out, they all have the tags on the right bottom fold of the ties (back of apron). It does look like a fake one. Besides, the design is ugly...

    tailors in seoul korea?

    Given the current currency rates, price starts with around USD 1200-1300 (KRW 1.5 million) and up. If you want to have a suit made of high-quality fabric such as Loro Piana, the price will go up around US 1700-1800 (KRW 2 million) per suit. Quite expensive compared with Itaewon suits, but...

    tailors in seoul korea?

    Here are two suits I got from SEGI tailors. Charcoal Suit is for Spring/Fall season, Blue one for summer. (please ignore the big-flower on my button hole. It was for my friend's wedding.) Since I prefer British style, I gave the tailor all the instructions and details when I commissioned them...

    Folded Up Shirt Appreciation

    Here are some shirts from U.K. First shirts are somewhat expensive ones. Second shirts are cheaper yet nice ones. Can't believe all the five shirts, two pocketsquares and one tie are still cheaper than the two shirts. Quality-wise, I wouldn't say T&A is worth that much price.

    Query over Best Suit to Start With

    For reference, I am a tall (5.9ft or 1.82 meters) and slim (68kg or 150lbs) 21 year old. Does 5.9ft mean 5 feet 9 inches? Then it's close to 175cm. 1 foot is 30.48cm.

    Any Tips on Getting a Korean Girlfriend in Korea?

    Threadjack: I live in the American South and shower every day, sometimes twice, occasionally three times. The way you type "don't take a shower for only two days" makes me think daily showers aren't the norm? Are there really people (young professional types) that live in humid climes and don't...
