There are Gallo boutiques in most major Italian cities. And there is at least one Italian seller of Gallo on Ebay mainly selling socks and some ties

Edit ; http://stores.ebay.it/dittalazzaretti
She says she is an official Gallo dealer. Send her an message via Ebay and maybe she can get you the ties your looking for. I dont see many ties listed now, she had a better selection before


You guys like this stuff? Jeezus. It's 99% awful. Paul Frank without the lovable monkey. Don't understand.

Doc will approve of white shirts, but Doc also has a different target than the good taste mafia. As best I can tell, he likes a 60s Anglo American influence, which looks great, but listening to him will just befuddle people trying to walk the manton/Foo/Whnay. path.


Good taste in mainstream menswear met its demise in 1968, only five years after mens' style had hit its pinnacle. Nothing gold can stay. As soon as Steed grew sideburns, it was all over.

You are probably right about the white-shirt confusion, but think how much more visually appealing life would be if everyone still dressed like Dick Van Dyke in his ottoman-tripping period.

Cliffs:
White shirts are good things often used badly.
Skinny knits are skinny for a reason -- fat knits no good.
