    One of the worst summers we have had in a very long time.

    The extreme taper on the trousers is what gets to me - they look like those jogger pants with the elastic cuffs

    Tie Your Tie Firenze

    Yes it looks nice to me, the way I see it is that the "puffyness" adds some life to an otherwise lifeless piece of fabric hanging from one's neck. It allows you to take an understated approach in terms of patterns and colours and still have the tie be an interesting and important part of the...

    Quote: I completely understand your sentiment, yet in my opinion the lack of pressing is what makes them look so good!

    Tie Your Tie Firenze

    You seem pretty passionate about the subject - what do you personally look for in a tie? Who do you think makes nicer ties than these guys? Whilst I'm in agreeance that paying $300 for one of these things is pretty wild, I definitely think they are the best looking ties on the market.

    Double Monk sells Saphir products both in-store and online at reasonable prices, though can't comment on their shipping costs.

    I'm pretty much after those exact features actually - though will go completely unstructured. My plan is to wait for Trunk Tailors to come up to Sydney for a trunkshow as I'm not in any rush to make this purchase. Other option would be SuitShop/PJT but as I already have a suit from them I'm...

    I'm looking to get a sport coat made that will work really well as an all rounder - i.e. will be comfortable in all seasons, and textured but not too textured. I'm based in Sydney hence why I'm asking in this thread - I'm sure many of you have a coat just like this. Cheers in advance

    Thank you both. @coldinboston I hadn't considered the size factor so that is good info for me to know.

    Frank Clegg Briefcases

    For anyone familiar with Clegg's briefcases, I am trying to decide between the commuter and the bound edge zip top, either choice would be in chocolate. The bag would be used daily in a fairly conservative business environment, though going forward I may be working somewhere less formal. I...

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    Interesting thanks guys, would you happen to know out of warzone vs. warzone plus what would be the more casual looking fabric?

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    Hi guys, out of the warzone and the warzone plus, which shirt has the nubbiest/most textured look to it? Someone has previously stated that they're slightly different colours, has anyone else had this experience? Lastly, I'm guessing the warzone plus is the thicker of the two but please correct...
