Shopping in Paris and Milan
Arny's was sold to Berluti a couple years ago. The old shop is gone, replaced by a sleek new flagship store for the "Berluti" clothes brand that they launched last year. None of the old spirit survived. Indeed. I am disconsolate.- Etienne

White Tie on a Budget
The places that rent white tie ensembles often sell them too. That's probably the last places where you can find an inexpensive RTW white-tie. Might be worth considering, that's how I got mine.- Etienne

The sad story of French clothing
I live in Paris. I am under 40. I wear a three-pice suit about one third of the time. Although I recognize very few people do, I don't get any stare.- Etienne

L'Escalier d'Argent
I am resurrecting that old thread since, after years of resisting, I finally bought vests at that shop. Two so far this year, and I am on my way to buy a third. Just wanted to spill that out.- Etienne

The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions
Here is a little background: in 2009 I got a 3-piece suit from a MTM outfit. After a few alterations, I deemed the result wearable, though it had some problems. See the discussion in an old SF thread. Last year I got a new suit from the same MTM outfit, trying to improve on the first one. The...- Etienne

Help me improve my MTM suit fit
18 months later, I stumble upon this thread and realize I have never posted pictures my new second MTM 3-piece suit. So, just a recap. In 2009, I got my first ever MTM three-piece suit. The result was not bad for the price, but there were quite a few problems with the fit.I decided last year to...- Etienne

2011 Rugby World Cup
The French team really did not deserve to win. I feel for the Welsh. It's the second time they lose a match on a dubious referee call.- Etienne

Milan to Como Transport.
The other option is to take a quick taxi from Centrale to Milano Cadorna. and take the TreNord train from Cadorna to Como Lago (right on the lake, in the center of town, beautiful) I did this last time I went to Milan and was very happy with the result.- Etienne

Foreign stereotypes about your country
negative. I know my history. Well, that does not appear from your posts in this thread at least. You said that France "had given ample proof" that it is weak militarily in the 20th century. This is simply ill-informed. France suffered a crushing defeat in 1940. That much is evident, even if, of...- Etienne
