HA! That was worth a laugh

Still think Spoo takes the cake in terms of TJ Maxx/Marshall's tie finds. His Marinella was both more tasteful and more versatile. Still a nice find though. Reminds me to go back to Marshall's...

my TJ Maxx has an excellent selection of nautica, phat farm, and sean john, if anyone needs a proxy.

Not sure where to post this, but...

 

I love the feeling of excited anticipation you get after placing a new order. In this case, a couple of bespoke jackets from my usual tailors, Ede & Ravenscroft. Fabrics chosen from H&S' Sherry Tweed book and luckily, I managed to google up some swatch pics:

 

 

Both jackets will be spec'ed the same: 2 button, slightly slanted pockets, side vents, with subdued linings. The check patterns are striking enough to not require any more radical style details, I think.

 

Also ordered a pair of MTM cords at the same time, in a mustardy/tan sort of shade, from a Porter & Harding book. They'll look smashing against the green check!

That top tweed is the ducks nuts, H.

HF - that is beautiful fabric. cant wait to see the finished product.

There's an Ed Hardy tie that's been sitting at my local Marshalls for a month or so. I think it's down to $15 if anyone wants a proxy.

It's a wonderfully conservative designfor them, doesn't even have rhinestones.

He said $15, not $1500. Have you seen that Ricci tie/cummerbund/bowtie with the crystals in person?

Haha, yup. The sad thing is, that despite being covered in crystals, it looked pretty tacky.

Well, classy a design as it is, it has "Ed Hardy" stamped right on the front.
