I'm hoping to try one of the Kent Wang long sleeve polos at some point - interesting features.

For anyone that is pondering whether to get J. Crew Chino shorts, I received mine tonight. They are divine. They are made in China, but the 100% cotton is fantastic. The J. Crew box was nice and the labelling on the pants was superior. They are much better than my Cotton On shorts which are 98% cotton 2% elastine.

I got the 9" Stanton and the 9" Broken In. Both are wonderful. I am looking forward to wearing them this summer. Thanks Aussie SFers!

Evening all, last reminder for BNE Meetup this Friday.

RSVP by COB tomorrow so that I can make arrangements based on final numbers.

Prof. Bear: I may be preaching to the choir here, but I am not sure that a pure linen shirt is work-appropriate for most professions (not sure what you do yourself). Casual Fridays is about as far as I would go.

I think you're thinking of ordering the Luxire 100% white linen and, while I haven't handled that specific fabric, other 100% linens I have had do indeed wrinkle quite a lot. By the end of the day they're a bit of a mess. A great look for weekends, but personally I wouldn't rock it at a normal work day as I think it looks a bit sloppy. I don't think pure linens suit being worn with a tie much at all, myself.

So, having said all that, I'd just embrace the casualness of the fabric and go with a BD collar and a shorter tail length, or a hidden BD cutaway collar for a more Euro look.

I work in a courtroom, though, so I dress reasonably conservatively.

Many thanks JM! I agree about the tie being too bright. Trying to find a happy medium is proving to be a pain. Any suggestions for other knit ties? I was thinking a plain navy or a navy/red stripe but think that will look a little too business-like.

Really? You only show a reasonbly small amount of shirt between the jacket and the tie, coupled with interlining / stays / starch keeping the collar / cuffs fine... Obviously if you take your jacket off this is another issue.

Yeah sorry it sold out yesterday, and all grenadines are sold out now. They will be re-stocked in March, but with a newer tighter weave from a different mill and some new colours too. Quite a lot is running low on stock.
There are a few nice ties coming just before xmas though, can't remember if I posted them up but 5 new knits, 3 new beautiful printed silks and navy and maroon plain twills and a navy pin dot. The navy maroon twill would be a good substitute for the grenadine for an everyday work tie.
