    Mr. RICK TAILOR coats and jackets - any experience?

    I just received a promotion code from Matches and looked at this new Italian brand they've started distributing exclusively in UK since last season. I have a few Boglioli (the K-jackets are among my favourites), L.B.M and Piombo unstructured jackets and I am wondering how this cheaper brand...

    L'Uomo Vogue Italy: Fashion Guide online

    I usually buy L'Uomo Vogue twice per year with their Fashion guide supplements. The Spring/Summer 2011 one is more Street-/Sportswear than usual. I noticed the two from 2010 are available online. For me they are more inspirational than the Esquire BB, and a way to discover new Italian brands...

    Belstaff Townmaster boots

    I have some of their jackets (Roadmaster, 50s vintage) and I still hope to find a leather one at a reasonable price, but how are these boots? Quality, sizing? Wearing them in town?

    Brunello Cucinelli gilet / vest - who's wearing it?

    I bought today a Cucinelli light grey wool vest similar to this one from blue fly. I found it at 75%off, so I paid a little above 300 USD. I am glad now that I did not buy a similar Hackett down gilet a few days ago. The Cucinelli fits much better. Is anybody wearing it well in WAYWRN? There...

    For UBS bankers, a head-to-toe style guide as precise as a Swiss watch (article)

    I was laughing this morning while reading this morning an article in a serious Swiss newspaper (Le temps - Geneva). They published the 'leaked' 44-page UBS dress-guide for their Swiss employees, unfortunately available only in French online (but with pics :-)). It would be nice if somebody has...

    Nigel Cabourn duffel coat on ebay - is it real?

    Sorry to start a new thread, but could not find much info about Nigel Cabourn (except that Zissou is a bit obsessed!). I saw in a shop in Zurich this summer some Cabourn items that I liked, but knew nothing about the brand and could not justify 1000 USD for a linen field jacket. I missed the...

    Worst purchase..or not (Jil Sander leather blazer)

    Sorry to start a new thread, I haven't done it in a while. I made a search and found a similar thread about leather blazers and noticed that they are not much in favour here. Today I made an impulse buy of a Jil Sander leather blazer. It's brand new, from a few seasons ago, absurd retail price...

I received today an email about RETAILTHERAPY4all launching a new website- www.retailtherapy4all.co.uk/ - I bought from Sarah from ebay more than 5 pairs of Grensons and C&J seconds at great prices and with UK VAT deduction. The prices on their website...

    Bamford & Sons leather jacket

    I bought recently from ebay an excellent Bamford & Sons italian cashmere sweater which is nicer than some Borrelli, Della Ciana or Cucinelli I've seen. I've been tempted recently by a Bamford cords jacket sold on SF. I think I have a curiosity to explore some high end brands which in the end is...

    Kilgour RTW sport jacket quality

    I am surprised Kilgour RTW is not discussed much on this forum. I've been tempted in the last few months by a classic single button Kilgour sport jacket in grey or navy. I like this one on sale from Matches, but available in 42, I'm 40R. I've seen many Kilgour items on ebay UK recently...
