The Official Vanda Fine Clothing Thread

Yesterday's Vandas were the Navy with Blue Flowers six-fold, and the White Linen with Blue Border yarn-dyed pocket square.



Three-piece is Southwick for Epaulet.

For those of you with experience with ties with no keepers, how do you stop the small side from flopping around? Tie clip? Or just get used to the 'sprezz.

 

[TweedyProf]

You enjoy the sprezz

 

[lysandar]

Word.

If you tie it right it won't flap around that much anyhow. But if you have to look super formal then use a clip or wear a different tie. I don't see why this would ever be a problem though if you enjoy the look

@applky

Almost looks like a grenadine. Can you see any blue in it? Close up?

Yes there is definitely some blue in it. Will try to post a close up, but the fabric is unfortunately sold out. The "fancy wools" Gerald and Diana sometimes post up are woven, but are woven wools, not silks (like a grenadine). The weave is tighter, and you can get monogramming done, which is a real benefit.

Thanks applky. No worries of the close up if it's sold out. Makes decision making in the future easier!

Today's Vandas include the OG fancy wool, I believe from before Vanda Fine Clothing was actually established and when @gshen was just selling ties on SF. This was the tie that started my Vanda addiction. EDIT: @Phat Guido wears it in a more subdued fashion here.

Wonderful -- both the fit and the photography. Great to see some fairly conservative business dress-ish/trad Vanda fits.

Wish I had those @Mr. Six photo skills. Until then, today's Vanda:



Vanda Houndstooth Slik Tweed tie

Southwick and Gitman for Epaulet, and Tom Ford.

^^ Thanks! I think my photos look pretty mediocre, so it's nice of you to say. Vanda square today. And I like your sport coat!

Thanks! Ditto. Which Vanda squares are those in your last two fits?
