First off I want to say huge thank you to Gyasih for being kind enough to proxy me this sports coat, I am beyond happy with it.  Here are some new kops, first off a Drake's SC from the tent sale they had (first pic best represents the color):

Probably the best OTR fit I've found.  Definitely made by Caruso.  It is all Drill cotton so a bit heavy, but beautiful SC, awesome color, plus the lapel roll is great for cotton.

 

The next thing is a brown with grey stripe Isaia suit, I need to have the waist taken in a bit, but other than that I think the fit is great on this suit as well (pants not pictured):

Hampton,
These are by no means recent purchases, but I took some pics of my Holland&Holland squares and ties a while back . . .

DB came - your opinion? (No alterations yet)

Very nice, i'm very happy with the look and quality of H&H. I'm a Tom Ford when it comes to PS but i'll buy more of these for sure.

 

May I ask how much did you pay for your squares? Just wanna compare.

I believe the retail tags on mine were about $55, but that was roughly 8-10 years ago (for comparison, I still have ties with tags on them with a retail price of $110 back then). I dont wear squares very often, so these are pristine. My wife used to work for Chanel, which at the time owned H&H (not sure if they still do), so she used to get me in to the employee sales. She probably paid $10 or $20 for most of these.

I see, because H&H is pretty damn expensive now? I mean they have one left square on the website for £295. 

Wow, that's pretty pricey. Looking at the site, the ties are GBP 110, so perhaps that was also the price back then as well (not USD). I don't see any squares although there's a silk scarf with medieval motif (very similar to what Drake's mughal scarves look like) and that is GBP 295.

I still have a wonderful cashmere blazer - I've never seen anything like that. The cashmere has that colorful dotted look that I've only ever seen on ties. With the shotgun shell lining.
