    Paisley pocket square combination

     To put things in perspective, I am attaching a pic of the pocket square.

    Paisley pocket square combination

     Valid points and thanks for follow-up. The one thing I liked about this pocket square was the fact there were 4 shades of blue (from darkest to lightest w/subtle white polka dots) in each quadrant. The shades would serve as accents, but I do agree and would possibly be paired with a darker...

    Paisley pocket square combination

     Thanks for the feedback. Your recommendation is quite appealing, but since I posted this, I've actually been trying to pair combinations and came up with this mix: Shifting things a bit and going with quad blue patterned subtle polka dotted pocket square (different shade of blue in each...

    Paisley pocket square combination

    Event is formal banquet dinner (not black/white tie event). Common attire among guests are suits/ties for the men. What is a good shirt/tie (in terms of style/pattern for the shirt/tie) combination to match with paisley pocket square on a light grey (50% mohair / 50% wool) summer suit...

    Question on 3 roll 2 lapel

    I purchased an OTR suit with my exact measurements, and had the suit shipped to me. When I opened the box, the "roll" part of the lapel was flattened, thinking it couldve been caused during shipping. The suit came in it's own garment bag and was folded in half and inside of a box upon reception...

    Tag Heuer - Carerra Automatic Maintenance

    The last time I sent my Tag back to Switzerland it cost me around £75, but that was about 10 years ago. An independent would be from around £40 for an Auto and from £60 for an Auto chronograph. cheers Thanks for the quick turnaround...what does the service entail?

    Looking for sub-$100 slim dress or sport shirts

    As someone else mentioned, buy something that fits in the shoulders and collar and get the sides taken in. Depending on what shirt you buy, the price + alterations should come in around $100. For custom, I just ordered a shirt from J. Hilburn where one of their agents comes to your home or...

    Thoughts of ensemble for evening banquet

    If the standard is a suit, I see no reason why a nice suit wouldn't be appropriate. Light colors are much more acceptable than many people seem to fear, especially in the summer. As for other thoughts, consider making the tie a knit if you have one or can get one easily. And certainly wear a...

    Jacket too small/tight? Also Brooks Brothers Extra Slim Fit shirt pic

    Ignore sleeve length on jacket -- hasn't been to tailor yet. Is this jacket simply too small/tight for me? It feels okay in the chest and shoulders, but I'm concerned it is too tight in the hips, which causes it to pull apart and show too much tie/belt. I'm a 39" chest and this jacket is size...

    Jacket too small/tight? Also Brooks Brothers Extra Slim Fit shirt pic

    I think that the jacket can be let out in the waist and would fit near-perfectly. I'd take it to a good tailor to see what could be done. The shirt fits pretty good. If you're satisfied with pretty good - keep it. If you're not, then go bespoke or MTM. Agree. Jacket can definitely be let out...

    Thoughts of ensemble for evening banquet

    What does the invitation say? A "banquet" suggests evening dress at the least. If it is informal given that in a university context, chinos may be formal) then a dark suit would be preferable if the event has some sort of stature. Ir's an annual dinner for a non-prof...The status quo has been...

    Thoughts of ensemble for evening banquet

    My non-prof is hosting an annual banquet. The venue is indoors. Would it be appropriate to wear a light earthy grey colored suit (3 rolls 2). Shirt is a white plaid (light lavender and light blue pattern). Was thinking about a solid blue or solid lavender tie. Thoughts? Suggestions? Maybe throw...

    Floyd Money Mayweather vs Sugar Shane Mosley

    How many say PBF retires if he loses? I think Shane is going to exploit his power and expose Floyd on Saturday. If Floyd is Floyd, he'll know better than turn this into a brawl, cause Shane ahs the upper hand. From a boxing perspective, Floyd wins on points...

    Raffaele Caruso suits from eHaberdasher

    I ordered mine, as well. It's a light earthy gray 3 roll 2.5. I should post some pics this weekend, hopefully. Mine, is NOT labelled Sartoria Parma, but rather mainline RC. I'm not sure how they differ from each other (mainline RC vs RC-SP), but it looks like a great suit, and would be a good...
