    Help! I am craving a pair of black monk straps

    Try Ferragamo. The Tramezza and Lavorazione Originale are both great and generally available on ebay.

    Which knot for skinny tie?

    The small knot works also. You can see diagrams of it on the Brooks Bros site.

    Is a double breasted suit too presumptious?

    Wear what you like and don't worry so much. Age is not an issue, your waist line is.

    Question about sleeve buttons

    My experience is that a fine tailor will match the stitching of the sleeve buttonholes with the other buttonholes on the jacket. For instance, Oxxford has a distinctive buttonhole. A really good tailor will mimic this, but will probably charge more than what I've seen listed above.

    Reuters Says - No Brown Shoes !?

    The irony here is that the so-called important financiers feel bound to follow these arcane rules. If they were really as powerful or prominent as they think, rigid adherence to such tenets would be nonsensical. It is just further proof that we are all insecure, no matter how much we would like...

    Black blazers.

    I acknowledge what the rules are. But, once the rule is acknowledged, a reasonable discussion can occur without being fixated on the rules. I have a black pinstripe suit made by Chester Barrie. Is that a broken rule? If so, it was broken by a respected Savile Row tailor. I don't see why a...

    Alex Kabbaz Shirts: Worth the money?

    A late friend of mine had every bit of clothes he owned made for him...suits by Davies, shirts by Arthur Gluck, shoes by Foster. Nonetheless, he said that if RTW fit had him well, he would not have bought bespoke. Part of the equation must be how well the Borrelli, or Kiton, or whatever well...
