Slim, cheap watch
Boccia has several slim quartz watches for $95 to $135. They are solid titanium which is a sort of matte silver/grey. I've owned several and liked them. I believe they are at teno.com.- jackdaw

Men's clothing in Santiago, Chile?
When you extinguish the estufa at night I was told what you need is a guaton con unas (a hot water bottle with fingernails). A thick, heavy Mapuche blanket or two helps also.- jackdaw

Men's clothing in Santiago, Chile?
When I lived in Chile 15 years ago central heating was scarce. My office building had baseboard hot water heat, but it was quite cold in winter despite the fact that temperatures in Concepcion rarely got to killing frost. Great opportunity for flannel suits and trousers, heavy tweed blazers...- jackdaw

Lardini blazers and suits
I recently bought a cotton/linen Lardini blazer from YOOX--$324 for an unlined, unconstructed summer jacket. Pricey, but I liked the fit and fabric and construction so I kept it. Sized 50 EU or 40 US which gave me a very slim fit and I wear a 39R US. The tags had been hand-corrected to 50EU...- jackdaw

Alternative fibers
Yoox has a number of Boglioli S/S blazers listed in abaca and abaca/wool blends. All I could find out is that abaca is also called Manila hemp and that it's fine fibers from a banana species grown for fiber used in Manila rope. Jackets looked nice, but you can't tell much from Yoox photography.- jackdaw

Official Events and PSA thread
Weekend price drops on YOOX for Caruso, Boglioli, Lardini, Cantarelli, Piombo blazers and probably others. Reductions around $60-100. Some of the usual perfect price discrimination/airline ticket demand gyrations as well (i.e. put on a sale, but raise some prices to search out the willingness...- jackdaw

Turnbull and Asser Shirt Question
Bespoke or made to measure. I've got a dozen or so T&A mtm shirts I plan (procrastinate, procrastinate) to put up on B&S as soon as I get them ironed, learn how to take photos, and learn how to post in B&S>- jackdaw

TM Lewin suits
I bought a 39R Chepstow grey pick and pick (sharkskin)w. 33 pants in 100s wool. Worth it at 137 GBP after VAT. Up close, it's obviously made in China, mostly fused, with fabric that doesn't have the greatest hand yet looks passable. I liked the idea of a beater suit. Shoulders are rather...- jackdaw

BEST SLIM FIT khakis?
EDIT - nevermind...read all the reviews and everyone says to size up one. So guess I'll try 36 for my 34 waist. A dissenting sizing opinion here. I have a skinny butt and a true waist size 33". The Vintage Slim Milanos I just got (2 pr.) in 33wx30 were too large in the waist and inseam...- jackdaw

Who makes the best belts?
I think Mezlan belts are good value and fairly well made. They have lots of ugly casual belts, but also some rather good ones. Prices drop to $65-80 after the first season or two of a design release. In the first season prices are around $100, made in Spain, their web site is messy and slow...- jackdaw

Abaca (Manila hemp/wool blend--any experience??
I'm considering a Boglioli abaca/wool blend blazer in a jacquard weave (coarse & highly textured). Manila hemp or abaca was once used for hemp ropes as well as some finer textured fibers used in fabrics. Does anyone have any experience with Manila hemp in blends and its hand and drape? On...- jackdaw

What Do You Look for In An Undershirt? What makes the perficect undershirt?
Sorry to revive an old thread, but has anyone found any good slim fitting, light material, v-neck t-shirts for tall folks? All the ones I have tried at Saks and Bloomingdales have been too wide at the bottom or shrank and aren't tall enough. 2xist and Hanes seem to be the most often mentioned...- jackdaw

Loake Pimlico chukka pics + C&J Tetbury comparison
I measure 11B on a Brannock and wear 11B in 3 or 4 AEs with a low instep/low volume foot. I bought 10.5 Loake Pimlicos and they work wirh a thin foam insole and a tongue pad and heavy socks. My guess is that the Pimlico Capitol last is equivalent to a USA D width that runs long. If you are a...- jackdaw

***The official Alden thread *** Share enthusiasm, reviews, sizing, advice, and photos.
Took delivery of a pr. of dark brown suede NST Aldens last week. The edge of the sole was dressed with really cheesy looking blobby, unevevnly, incompletely applied black paint. I figured the layers of leather in the sole and heel were probably quite handsome so I sanded off the paint and...- jackdaw

Bean Maine Hunting Shoe Owners?
I've got 6" Bean boots--easy to put on and take off and more than adequate for slush and snow in town. Slim enough to drive the cramped pedals on my MT Subaru. They also come in a narrow width as well as med. which is quite snug. For tramping the woods in really cold weather and deeper...- jackdaw
