    E.G. Cappelli Store now LIVE!

    Has anyone ordered a tipped grenadine tie from Cappelli recently? I placed an order on several ties that should have been tipped, however they arrived untipped. Trying to figure out if I'm alone in this or this is their new way of doing grenadines.

    disappointed to see yet another new collection of trousers without a single model made for braces. the fishtail trousers they had a couple of years ago are incredible - I wonder if the demand for such trousers was too low to justify keeping them.

    Rock Your Socks- show your sock, shoe & pant combos

    I have an upcoming event to which I am planning to wear a pair of knee-high silk socks, for about 10-12 hours straight. From experience, will silks socks (I have a pair from @Kent Wang ) hold up this long, or should I plan on stashing an extra pair of socks?

    Neckties: A Discussion Thread

    First of all - congrats! I too faced a similar decision earlier this year, with my upcoming wedding. I'd go with the classics - a houndstooth, a glen plaid or a shepherd's check; all three patterns are available at @Kent Wang , http://www.kentwang.com/ties?cat=68 here. You can also look into...

    Paul Sargent (formerly Alfred Sargent) Appreciation Thread

    9.5UK in Loakes and 9.5 in AS. I know Aldwych are G (wide), and Armfields are F, however I also have two pairs of Loake Strands, which are F as well and were not that snug at first. I'd say they are snug width wise, especially in the vamp area. Toes feel OK. I took them to the local shoe repair...

    broke in London but need nice suit and dress shirt

    From my experience with TM Lewin (my last order from them was about 2 years ago, so maybe things have changed since then) - their shirts are not "easy-irony" or "non-irony" at all (maybe depends on the fabric you chose). What I like about their shirts in particular - their collars and cuffs are...

    broke in London but need nice suit and dress shirt

    TM Lewin shirts are unbeatable at their price point, much better than SuitSupply or Charles Thyrwhitt, imho.

    Paul Sargent (formerly Alfred Sargent) Appreciation Thread

    These just arrived from @Afinepairofshoes Fit a bit snug (more snug than Loakes), but I'm sure it'll go away once I wear them a couple of times. My first shoe of over 300EUR, excited to debut them on my wedding day, after giving them a nice shine.

    Official Wedding Attire Question/Answer/Picture Thread

    My wedding is coming up, and I got a tailor 3-piece dark navy suit for it. The suit trousers are made for braces. My question is - should I order a pair of white moire braces, or just go with the navy braces from Albert Thurston that I already have? My shirt will be white, and the event...

    Kent Wang - Affiliate thread

    I too am from the EU, and ordered a tie from KW back in 2014 - the shipping was fast, and everything was great. The tie is amazing. Forward to current time - I placed an order on their website last Friday, but it only shipped yesterday (6 days later). Since the ordered stuff is for my wedding -...

    I don't live in the UK, hence don't know whether they are available there. They are a bit too expensive for me currently, but I do hope that soon enough I will be able to afford them as my daily shirt option.

    CT are good shirts, but do keep in mind that their collars are fused and somewhat stiff (per my taste). Their collar points are also quite short on the spread collars, which makes it difficult to match them to some suit jackets (collar gap). My choice for shirts is TM Lewin...

    Suitsupply NYC

    Note on the tie discussion - I would advise against SuSu ties. They are not very good in terms of fit and quality, even for their moderate price point. I would much rather recommend EG Capelli ties (http://www.patriziocappelli.it/catalog/). Prices there range from 80 to 90 EUR, a bit more...

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

    I would say that both characters' collars are more "classic" than anything else. They are certainly not spread (Harvey wears those), more likely they are "spread". As per choices provided - I think the best overall option would be the "Cut Away Medium". And if I may - please refrain from...

    Busy day tomorrow - dinner with the chairman of the council (big company, about 50 executives will be there), and opera in the evening. I've already decided on suit, shirt and shoes - navy suit, white shirt, black captoes. I got several options with the tie, however - burgundy with navy...
