    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

    To be honest, its not my favourite knot, but too me the collar looks a little "empty" so I put it out there as a suggestion given its something relatively easy to try....

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

    One small point, but I think that tie knot is a little small for that style of cut away collar. I say that meaning it shows too much of tie material either side of the knot before its covered by the collar, if that makes sense...I would try a full Windsor knot as they tend to very triangular...

    Evening on the Town.

    I don't see why they would be???...When worn under a jacket, they are a fairly subtle point...That assumes that the sleeves of both items are the correct relative lengths and that the cuff links are not too big/loud... Personally, I would probably go with a two piece suit and for something like...

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    No offence taken...And as you say, if he wants Filson, he will have to bite the bullet lol I had that itch with my Billingham camera bag! It did cross my mind that with all the cheap flights about these days, you could probably fly from the UK to the US have a long weekend and then carry a...

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Filson is good, but there are other bag maker offering would be another although they produce mostly camera bags....Neither are cheap but the quality is excellent. I am not sure whats available in Europe, but I have seen good quality bags canvas/leather messenger bags in France and Germany in...

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Does it have to be a Filson? Although similar briefcases are probably not too common in Europe, there are plenty of messenger bags constructed of those materials. I would think if would be fairly easy to get a messenger bag modified by the addition of the appropriate handles by somebody like...

    Military style winter jacket for men?

    Not unless I have moved since I last looked???? OP mentions Montreal, Canada, and somebody else mentions temps of 20F to 15F which equates to -6C to -9C... Those temps are a little colder than typical for an average winters day where I live, but not by much...Certainly during bad spells, we...

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Good catch. For that I will be needing a solid knife and then I’m set. I’m thinking this beauty might be up to the task. My first solid knife I’m looking into. The wood Should patina wonderfully The wood on the Linder Solingen Iltis Amboina version of that knife looks stunning!

    Military style winter jacket for men?

    I recently got myself a Barbour *Winter* Utility Jacket just for those reasons... I suspect is it in the process of being replaced by their New Utility Jacket, which is uninsulated so you may have to search around on line to get one. The easier way to tell which is which is that the winter...

    Small bag for men. Brief case alternative?

    Once you start going too small, IMHO leather bags start looking like ladies handbags...The smallest I would go is a small messenger type bag and even then I would watch the styling ie not too much bling as already mentioned.. You might think a messenger bag is still too big, but the slight...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

    Personally, (and its just my opinion and I am not an expert) I think in this case its the wide spectrum of formality that's the issue...I would imagine that the blazer could be worn casually with jeans/chino's, desert boots, and a Oxford Button Down Shirt for instance, or worn dressed up with...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

    Personally, for this task I would prefer boots that looked a bit more dressy and with a lower half more akin to a shoe, if that makes sense. There are a lot of chukka's out there that would meet the criteria, but I am not sure they would be as weather proof as you want, although still better...
