    Brooks 346 canvass?

    I know this has probably been discussed before, but I couldn't find an answer. I thrifted a Brooks 346 suit before I understood the brand's different lines. Because of the things I have read here and other places, I assumed it was fused; however, in doing a pinch test both beside the breast...

    Don't forget about Hitchcock's films with CG and Jimmy Stewart: NxNW (as mentioned), Rear Window, Vertigo (arguably the best film ever made), and The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956).

    AS, I really like this bow tie on you, but, to me, it seems a little small with the collar and lapel size.

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

    Thank you @upr_crust and @jcmeyer , I am in English lit focusing on the Romantic poets, William Blake in particular (hence my user name). I wear a bow tie 2-3 days a week, and feel more comfortable doing so than wearing a neck tie. I am planning to wear the same suit pictured above with a...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

    This probably isn't the best place for this, but rather than create a new is-this-ok thread, I thought I would ask here. My thesis defense is on Thursday and I was thinking of wearing a three-piece suit with this setup: Is the combination of patterns too much, especially the shirt, and would...

    So, what ever happened to Brass Boot?

    Sorry to respond so late, but I was just wondering the same thing and came across your thread. I aquired a pair of their tassel loafers in 2006. With infrequent wear, the leather sole (rubber cover on the heel) is in nearly perfect condition. Their sole is stitched on, but it doesn't seem like a...

    Pre SF jacket, but the light tan cotton is great for spring.

    Is this a suit? I see a slight color difference between the jacket and the pants, but that may just be the camera or lighting.

    @The Noodles, Do you know anything about the fabric of the Samsung(?) coat?

    From David's chart, it seems closest to prometeo, but I'm not really sure. In fact, I'm not sure it is a grenadine weave.

    Thanks, man. This is probably the best jacket I have.

    The pants fall a little better than they appear, but the overhead sunlight exaggerates any wrinkles. Can anyone tell me the name of this weave? Someone recently told me it is called pineapple grenadine, but I'm not sure that is a real thing. Thanks.

    Pocket Squares: A Discussion Thread, Questions, Opinions, Suggestions.....

    What is the opinion of a white linen or cotton square with a solid light blue or blue with a pattern that doesn't include white? I have some shirt/tie combos that I have trouble complementing with my current square selection.

     How does one go about making a half Windsor asymmetrical? Edit: I'm not sure how I managed that emoji, but it's pretty great.

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

    In reading WAYWRN from the beginning, I remember seeing at least three pages dedicated to that discussion. While I've never truly polished these shoes, I used Saphir Renovatour on them this morning, which gave them a decent luster. Because it was pouring when I got up this morning, I wore my...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

     Thank you for your feedback. I tried both a FiH and a Pratt this morning, but neither looked right. After a few tries the FiH still seemed too cylindrical, so I gave up. I'm also wondering if my OTC socks are keeping my pants from falling more naturally: has anyone else experienced...

    New jacket with no alterations; I would greatly appreciate any feedback. It looks tight in a couple of pictures, but it doesn't strain in normal wear. I know the square seems a bit off: it's a red and burgundy plaid pattern, but apparently only red is showing.
