    What kind of shirt is this?

    Looks like thin wale cord. Moleskin (another fustian fabric) will give you a similar look/feel without the wales.

    Cotton Chinos - Shades of Khaki

    If you want a pair of brown chinos, 2, 3, and 5 would probably all work, but I personally prefer 3. From the photos, 2 looks so dark that it would almost read as black from a distance / in the wrong light; which would almost certainly not look right with any outfit designed to harmonize with...

    Cotton Chinos - Shades of Khaki

    What you are describing is essentially the difference between shade and hue. It really depends on how many pairs you want to invest in. Option 1 is by far the most versatile (but also the least interesting) so you can't really go wrong with 1 but it would be a bit boring to just have a bunch of...

    Source for reasonably priced high quality sport coats

    They do good work. I have a few of their suits and the quality is fairly high for their price. They do have some unstructured blazers, however they mostly start at around 399 USD so they seem a bit above the price limits you cited above. Having never owned one of their unstructured pieces I...

    Source for reasonably priced high quality sport coats

    I would say that if you are going for a sprazzatura kind of look with your casual blazer, then fit is very important, as a poorly fitting casual garment will just look sloppy. Just budget in tailoring costs. A $200 blazer that you have spent $50 tailoring to fit your body perfectly will...

    Cotton Chinos - Shades of Khaki

    Dark brown chinos would probably look okay with a sport coat that had a pattern with brown elements, such as a blue, brown, orange guncheck. I have also seen darker earth tone/brown trousers pared with tan or camel sport coats, but it's not a look that I am particularly fond of. Lastly, I have...

    Cotton Chinos - Shades of Khaki

    I agree with Paxonus. Chinos in darker earth-tone shades are much less versatile, as it is generally preferable to pair a darker sport coat with lighter trousers (there are exceptions, of course), so you will get way more use from colors 1, 4, and 6.

    Source for reasonably priced high quality sport coats

    I would just go onto YOOX and sort their blazer selection by price or check out the stuff for sale here. On YOOX, virtually all of their blazers / sport coats are unstructured, and while they have a lot of crap (nylon / polyester, overly fashion forward nonsense, etc.) you can also find some...

    Looking for 38R Suit/Blazer

    Hi, I am in the process of reducing my wardrobe and have a ton of suits and blazers that fit your description. Can you give me an idea of the price range you are looking for? Most of these are gently used Italian suites, in charcoal, mid-gray. and navy. They are in the 38-40R range. With some...

    Jack Spade Mason Leather Wayne Duffel Bag - Black

    Hi There, I am in the market for a duffel and I am interested in your bag but it's just a tad out of my price range. Can you tell me what the total would be including U.S. shipping and if there is any flexibility on the price? Thanks! Regards, Chris
