help with upcoming trip to Paris?
I was in Paris for one night (about 30 hours total) in March. A good way of seeing a fair bit is getting the metro to Chatelet - walk over to Cite and see the Notre Dame. Head back towards Chatelet along the Seine, taking in the Louvre. Then, head towards Place de la Concorde, onto the Champs...- supercarl

What's the gross/net profit margin of higher-end boutiques?
Ok - for some answers from my experience, assume 50% margin, cater for paying all on pro forma, build in euro fluctuations and transaction costs, assume 30% of stock left at end of season, of which most will be sold below cost. Also allow for approx 25% slow moving stock that would be expected...- supercarl

Dating a "high end" girl?
serious answer, take her out in islington (upper st). grab "a quick bite" at Trevi opposite high + i station, and then splash the difference in the trendy bars down upper st / camden passage. good food and flash bars afterwards, in a decent area.- supercarl

Going to Europe
lol. No one is going to hate you for spending 14 days on a train in Europe man. What he said. I'd just add that most "Europeans" are proud of their own country. Spending a couple of weeks in Holland and getting to know the country could be a wise use of your time...- supercarl

An Englishman wears shorts and tshirt in the city
So I finally met the owner of the pub I frequent, and it turns out I have seen him occasionally without me knowing he was the owner. This guy is an Englishman, I gathered this from, well, the pub decor and by conversations with the general manager and staff. He seems to always wear shorts and...- supercarl

Tailor wanted, Bath/Bristol area
Barington Ayre is in the Cotswolds, not too far from Bath. He also travels quite a bit through the UK with very flexible hours. Any reviews on this company? Might fit the bill for me!- supercarl

What's the best product/s for nose hair removal ?
I'm asking this as I have a problem with nose hair and I've found the trimmer device you get from shave shops is badly designed and is largely useless, in that it doesn't remove enough visible nose hairs, nor is it able to get to other nose hairs. I spoke to a couple people who said the large...- supercarl

Best type of collar to wear on a dress shirt with no tie?
Some people think that button down collars look good. That is why these collars are produced, and have been produced for many years for non-polo players. Wearing button down collar w/ tie under a suit is done by very respectable americans, but I don't think would be done in the UK. Actual...- supercarl

Styleforum-Tapatalk please.
Any chance of this? In the uk, all iPhone plans now have restrictive data plans... Apparently, it is just a line of code that needs to be inserted into the code of the forum.- supercarl

Buying clothes in Italy
Having frequently shopped in Italy for accessories from the major designers, I can confirm that you get stung! (about 10% difference) Due to the euro vs sterling. More access to some obscure items though!- supercarl

Wearing a dress watch with casual clothes
I have a watch that I really like, but it is clearly a dress watch. I'd like to wear it with khakis and a sweater or khakis and a blazer -- maybe even with nice dark jeans and a sweater -- but I'm not sure if it would look awkward. It's a Rolex Prince, the one in the photo. Should I just save it...- supercarl

English Shirts: Which is the best value?
I notice that a lot of people are asking for comparisons of CT slim fit to TM Lewin. I've tried both, over the last few years. CT is more of a "skinny but fat" fit, in that the shoulders are smaller and it then gets progressively wider to the waist. TML is the opposite, regular sized...- supercarl

paying your traveling tailor in Euros on their visit to new york?
I would not recommend nickle and diming your bespoke tailor. Just sayin'. hardly nickle and diming...? Not everyone uses and spends dollars - there is a world outside you know! If they are pricing in Euros, and it is a currency that they would benefit from, go for it!- supercarl

Jantzen, Reliable at last?
I've finally found an off the peg shirt I'd like Jantzen to replicate. Is it reliable to get it back (it was an expensive shirt), or should I measure it myself and send him details? Also, how much are his superfine shirts currentlY?- supercarl
