    Herring Shoes - Experiences?

    I just received my Herring Chiswick II in Cobalt Suede that I purchased in the Herring sale. Well packed, included shoehorn and suede protector in the box and arrived promptly. Overall excellent service and I'm enjoying my shoes - although it's currently not really blue suede weather...

    Herring Shakespeare II

    Looks like it's made by Barker to me. Make of that what you will. I'm happy with my Barkers for the money but they're no Church / Edward Green etc.

    Help with green stripped shirt

    Do not wear with the yellow jacket. With the blue jacket and tie that is one of your best looks, you don't need to look any further.

    Why does yoox hate America?

    I don't know about the removal of items from the US site but saying items on Yoox are barely reduced is rubbish. The Cantarelli, Sartorio, Zileri, etc etc that have gone on Yoox have gone on at about 50% of retail before any sale reductions and many are now at 70% off. I feel Yoox is by far the...

    New job in London, what colors of suits to buy?

    Pin Stripes are very common. Dark brown should be fine, though less common. Black shoes are safest but brown is not likely to be an issue unless in the most conservative banks. NB - If you're working at an accountancy firm, eg PWC I frankly think a lot of this is overkill the last lot of PWC...

    Ever bought a suit through Yoox?

    Their suits are fine, no different quality from normal - obviously sometimes slightly unloved designs which is why it ends up on Yoox in the first place. Obviously you can't tell if it's say a 38R drop 6 or a 38L drop 7 except roughly from the pictures but everything I've bought has been...

    Drakes spring/summer sale?

    Bit early I think, they've only just finished their winter scarf sale.

    Looking for linen trousers in the UK

    I agree RL Purple Label is viciously expensive in the UK. Even a lot of Polo stuff is pretty steep. I quite like some of the Ede and Ravenscroft linen trousers too (RTW) , they're not the highest quality but okay and they're quite cheap for knock arounds. One pair of these has a little mini...

    Looking for linen trousers in the UK

    Ralph Lauren Purple label ones are quite nice, they also make some in hemp that are good too.

    how to dress to a nightclub

    Sounds fine. Personally I'd find Chelseas a bit hot inside a club and clumpy to dance in but I wouldn't worry too much.

    how to dress to a nightclub

    Don't wear anything that will make you stand out too much. Wear whatever the guys with the fittest girlfriends wear. Also depends what sort of club it is - but don't wear anything too nice - it will get trashed. Basically you're far better off just wearing jeans and T-shirt when you go to the...

    Ordered a bunch of C&J and quite dissapointed... am I missing something?

    I have a similar thing with my C&J. Nice-ish shoes, although not that nice but they just don't fit all that well for me. I actually prefer the Churchs I have, although a lot of Churchs now are pretty rubbish they still make some pretty decent shoes. Are you in particular looking for C&J...

    Massimo Alba - Yoox

    Quality is good for the money in my opinion, fit is true to size for me - so I'm a 38 in PaL Zileri RL Purple Label, Caruso etc and the Alba fits me fine as a 38. . I have an Alba suit from Yoox, I do have a feeling it might be only half canvassed but I didn't pay much, the Yoox prices are quite...

    Is Kiton worth the money?

    The Kiton buttons and collars are nice but all the 'handwork' doesn't necessarily make for a better shirt than a good machine made shirt that will be much cheaper. Pal Zileri make a nice shirt and the Sartoriale shirts have the nice MoP buttons etc, As has been said at Kiton full price you...

    what color flannel

    I like medium on the light side of grey. I find charcoal surprisingly difficult to match, as odd trousers.
