    Are these Church's Chetwynd Bookbinder Leather or Calf?

    Dear All, I've had these Church's Chetwynds (Custom Grade) for a few years now and recently read about how Church's uses both Bookbinder Leather and proper Calf. Is anybody able to tell what kind of leather this is? The one on the left is unpolished (after a few months of wear) and the one...

    Vintage Omega Watch Repair

    That sounds awesome, but pricy ;) Would you mind telling me how much you paid? So far I'm really impressed by the Omega - it's been running for over a week now and isn't off by more than a few seconds (automatic movement)

    Vintage Omega Watch Repair

    Hey guys I have recently bough a beautiful gold plated vintage Omega Seamaster that, unfortunately, had a watch strap installed that was too big (i guess 20mm or 19mm instead of 18mm)! This lead to the gold plating being rubbed (or rather chipped) off where the strap touches the casing...

    Convert eyeglasses into sunglasses

    Hey guys I want to buy a pair of Anglo American 406 as sunglasses. Apparently I can only get them with normal (= transparent) lenses (at least online). My question is now, will any optician be able to turn these into sunglasses? And what will they do exactly? Will they tint the existing...

    Can anyone help me identify this jacket?

    The logo is from Swedish brand Fjällräven - maybe that helps EDIT: looks similar to this one, except for the button color: http://www.fjallraven.us/collections/jackets/products/travel-blazer

    Shorts in Italy

    Hey guys, I will be in Rome this month and I wonder to what extent it is acceptable to wear shorts in Italy (in the city) nowadays. Firstly, I'm talking about somewhat dressy chino shorts - nothing too short or baggy or with cargo pockets or that looks like swimwear. Combined with a nice...

    Ask A Question, Get An Answer... - Post All Quick Questions Here (Classic menswear)

    Hey guys, I'm going to a black-tie-ish NYE party. Having attended the event before I know that there's going to be a number of people wearing normal dark suits. In recent years I've always worn my black tuxedo and felt appropriately dressed, but this time I forgot to bring it. The most formal...

    Persol 714

    Hey, I just purchased a pair of new Persol 714 online. As you can see they are not quite symmetrical when folded - is this normal? Also, the left side is a bit low when worn. I'm no expert on glasses - is this something an optician can fix - or should I return them?

    conservative business dress WAYWRN: An Experiment

    That second layer of fabric just below the tie knot (Spoo had it too in his last pic) - is that a thing (with a name?) or just laziness?
