Poor man's watch thread
Sorry missed one of your posts. I thought you were asking about the poor mans equivalent to the Rolex Submariner- marsy101

Rock Your Socks- show your sock, shoe & pant combos
Pretty loud socks. Shoes have hints of deep red/orange (photo doesn't quite show the true colour of course). Was tempted to go with a navy or racing green but felt like doing something different.- marsy101

Poor man's watch thread
Big fan of this Swatch Irony. This is what prompted my hunt for a vintage Speedmaster. Bought this in Singapore, 2005 as a beater whilst travelling - 60 USD- marsy101

Poor man's watch thread
My late father bought me this watch when I was 15 years old for about 150 pounds. It came with mixed rubber diving straps in some pretty interesting colours! As my tastes changed I've opted for a classic brown strap with a butterfly clasp. I have a thing (bordering on obsessive) for matching...- marsy101

Which grey suit is right for me?
Having almost twisted myself in a knot trying to find the best fit on the suit supply website (I have short legs, wide shoulders and a narrow waist), I've decided to go made to measure. Would much rather spend more money on a classic suit like a navy or grey and have it look extra special. I...- marsy101

Which grey suit is right for me?
just had a lightening bolt moment! Found an old T.M Lewin herringbone 2 button with notched lapel in navy blue. Bought it when I first started working in London. It's a BOAT, but I'm confident my tailor can completely transform this into something contemporary. Needs every conceivable...- marsy101

Which grey suit is right for me?
What I'm taking away from this is that some people don't like peak lapels, BUT they do help elongate the torso. However this does not necessarily mean a notch lapel will work against me, as long as it is not too skinny? DB jackets could make me look shorter by not allowing the shirt and tie to...- marsy101

Guys, what are your thoughts on these then: notch lapels in blue and grey http://eu.suitsupply.com/suits/suit-grey-plain-sienna-p3399/P3399,en,pd.html?start=36&cgid=Suits&prefn1=fitID&prefv1=Notch%20Lapel&prefn2=color&prefv2=Blue%7cGrey...- marsy101

Which grey suit is right for me?
I hadn't realised until this year how well structured linen suits can be, so I was pretty happy with the look, overall. I've already noticed with some jackets how much better a lower button placement looks on me, including a single button. Great tip re: ticket pockets though as I was leaning...- marsy101

Which grey suit is right for me?
Hadn't thought about it but of course only a peak lapel would work on a DB! I'm certainly not looking for a DB suit at this time but I do like the more casual DB look with just the jacket, paired with some jeans or light grey suit trousers. So that's why I threw the link in to the DB jacket.- marsy101

Which grey suit is right for me?
Hi Sean, Thanks for the response. I noticed last year that the tux vibe is definitely dying at the opera (here in Warsaw, Poland anyway). So that being said, I found that my well tailored navy linen suit paired with the right bits, looked considerably more dressy than the array of poorly...- marsy101

Which grey suit is right for me?
Good advice. Would you agree then that peak lapels look good on a double breasted worn on its own? I did say 'slimmer ties' though ;-) I tend to wear knitted ties at around 2" and wool or tweed ties at about 3". I did accidentally buy some skinny ties on ebay which are about 1.5".... never...- marsy101

Ok, so this is my second post after having introduced myself: http://www.styleforum.net/t/261591/introduce-yourself/2400#post_6573699 Because I had only just started waking up to style at the end of winter/beginning of Spring this year I have nothing appropriate for Autumn/Winter. I do...- marsy101

Introduce yourself.
Hi everyone, I'm Marsy101. 30 years old, married and have a daughter who will turn 2 on Thursday. I work for myself and very rarely 'need' to wear a suit or jacket... but do anyway. Last Spring I decided to get my act into gear. I had just turned 30 and my daughter was already 1.5 years old...- marsy101
