2. Where Fuuma is wrong is concluding that any wearing of tie/jacket is costume. The underlying presumption behind such a conclusion is that there is no objective aesthetic good achieved through classic tailored clothing and that it can only be 'good' against a certain social or historical context (making it costume). We could debate that presumption forever, but I don't think one can logically reach his assertion without some very overreaching premises regarding the nature of aesthetics and style.


So there was this one golden age we reached around 1935, and then it was downhill from there. That doesn't sound terribly plausible (imagine if someone said it about art of a certain brief period -- of course some people do say this, but it's an odd view). Were there any other golden ages? If, say, the toga also achieved objective goodness, would it be right to wear one today? If you want to answer that question negatively you'll have to concede something to the contextualists. And that way lies the ditching of your pocket squares (at least).

Is two years the norm now?

It's been 2 1/2 years+ for me but I'm still trying to get back to the shape I was at the last fitting (more than a year ago). Hope he comes through or I'm going to find him in Naples -- or the Armoury... er

Hard to believe that a scumbag like Ambrosi still gets business. Disgusting.


+1.

After reading these posts, anyone who still orders from these crooks deserves to be fleeced.
