Marks and Spencer - fully canvassed £500 worth it? material?
I have one of these - it's a great suit for the money. Cloth is from Zegna, cut is slim but not as slim as (say) Ralph Black Label James. It's a herringbone type cloth, lovely quality, medium weight. If you're worried about the "brand" you can get a Paul Smith / Boss suit from the...- jnm23q

Shirt Quality Question
I would say the main differences are: Fabric Feel the fabric on (for example) a Kiton shirt. It's not the same as the CK. It's softer and has a "nap" to it. Quality of buttons Truzzi/Barba are good example - the buttons are thick, iridescent mother of pearl. As opposed to thin, brittle...- jnm23q

What's your most expensive pair?
GBP400 on some C&J handgrades. They was full price from Jermyn St. I've never been in EG or Lobb as I think 400 is my ceiling.- jnm23q

Experiences with Ted Baker and Thomas Pink?
Both horrible Ted Baker is like a poor man's Paul Smith / Etro. I can't believe they are charging USD800 for the suits, here in the UK they are around GBP250. In Selfridges (not great) collection of suits they are probably the worst. It's the kind of suit a 20 year old office junior would buy...- jnm23q

Woodhouse of London suit
Woodhouse was a respected clothing shop in London a few years back. They seemed to disappear around 2008 but are still online. They focused quite a lot of "barryboy" casual labels; Armani Jeans, Stone Island, DG that kind of thing. If you look at their site now it's much the same. As I recall...- jnm23q

The laundry thread
Get all my shirts done as a service wash. Truzzi ones must have been through the cycle about 30 times and look as new. The only ones that seemed to suffer were Pink slim fit so don't buy those any more. The laundry are much better at removing 'collar ring' than me and they come back nicely...- jnm23q

How long does it take for Charles Tyrwhitt shirts to go on sale?
$139!!! you can get a Truzzi/Barba shirt for that on STF The UK price is normally around 30GBP, so around 50USD. With dodgy conversion rates and shipping maybe USD65? I think there are better shirts around for the money, Harvie and Hudson and maybe Brooks if you can find an outlet. These...- jnm23q

Quality of Paul Smith clothing?
I went through a spell of buying loads of PS London shirts a couple of years ago. I think I ended up with six. Bicester Village outlet had them at around GBP40. The prices have shot up recently. I recall buying one at RRP for GBP70 (around US110) in 2006. Now they seem to be priced at GBP120...- jnm23q

Help me pair a tie with this shirt!
Didn't realise Faconnable did formal clothes. Echo the comments above that the diamonds (as well as the odd hue of blue) make it look more casual I think perhaps a plain yellow or gold tie to match the thin stripe in the shirt if you are set on wearing a tie- jnm23q
