How do you fold your pocket squares?
Square "TV" fold for all linen and cotton squares, puff for all silks. I don't use wool squares. If you're fussing over it, you're not doing it right. Just stick it in there.- Hans

The Mariano Rubinacci Shop
Given the inability of most native English speakers to communicate in any language other than their own, I don't find this all that remarkable. Sure, most Italians are pretty bad with foreign languages when compared to say, the Dutch, but they surely beat Americans and Brits in this regard. If...- Hans

Incotex trousers don't fit
Get Incotex pants that fit in the leg and then have a tailor adjust the waist. Taking them in or letting them out by an inch or two is a pretty straightforward (and cheap) operation. I usually have this done when I get them hemmed and I pay about $20 in total.- Hans

Cambridge May Ball What should I wear
Well, he did ask what he should wear, not where he could find a dinner jacket. I should also add the following: (1) Cambridge is one of the few places where you can wear a dinner jacket twice a week, so how come the OP doesn't have one already? He must be a social pariah who doesn't get...- Hans

Shoulders Taken In
The article only says that the shoulders can be taken in *slightly* by using this method. I still would not do it, though, because it only narrows the jacket in the back and not in the front, thus spoiling the symmetry. IMO, shoulder width is the one thing that *must* fit on a RTW suit.- Hans

Academic Black Tie
That's just black tie with gown. If you are an undergraduate wear the BA gown; otherwise wear the gown of the highest degree you have actually been awarded.- Hans

White & Off-White
In the photo, the white pants make the blue sports coat look very bright and crisp. That's a great look, but I think off-white pants would work as well. If your sports coat is double breasted, you'd have it closed most of the time, so there would be a significant amount of distance between...- Hans

Blücher-spelling
While we are on the topic, though, does anybody know why derby shoes are named (in US English) after Generalfeldmarschall von Blücher? He didn't invent them, did he? After all, he was a hussar, and presumably wore boots.- Hans

Yoox Question
They are pretty fast. If you are in the US, it takes about two days for things to be shipped to their warehouse in NJ and regular UPS transit times from there to your location after that.- Hans

suit jacket has lump/wrinkle below collar between shoulders!
a competent tailor will be able to fix that. +1 You have "square" shoulders. That's what causes the bump.- Hans

Etro Suits: Good, No Good?
They run a little bit small. I wear size 36 (US) and the one Etro suit I have is size 38 and fits me well. Bear that in mind when you order online. Their suits are made by Boglioli and are usually fused. Quite funky, though.- Hans

Interview attire for academic interview in Germany
suits or flannels and sportcoats? Either would do. Pick the one you are most comfortable in (and wear a conservative tie). In my experience, philosophers in Germany are not quite as suit-averse as they are in the northeastern US. Good luck with your interview!- Hans
