HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part II
You might try buttoning both buttons, or just the lower one. The Duke of Windsor and President kennedy both had their suits made in a two button style similar to this. Kennedy buttoned both, and the Duke just fastened the lower one. Google photos of both of them and you'll see what I mean.- Polonius

French property is looking cheap...well, cheaper... BTW, I just bought a new house...one of the earliest and few remaining non-compound TAC homes built in the Boston area in the 1940s. I believe you like it, the Modernism. I'm wearing my tie today at the same length...I had to Albert the...- Polonius

Crossfit fans?
Been doing CF for 3 months now. It's been great for me so far. But I'm only too aware how cult-like it is, and that's cause for some concern. I'd like to hear some persuasive arguments about about what is wrong with it. I've heard none on this forum.- Polonius

Tie might be a bit long, but the outfit is so good that it comes off as as one of those slight idiosyncrasies that keep the look from being too studied and perfect. I wouldn't change it.- Polonius

HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part II
You sir, have Style. Decidedly lacking from many of the gents here who, while very well-dressed, are, respectfully, rather cookie-cutter. I enjoyed your blog entry and will follow it more often. Your thoughts about the great find of a vintage 1980's letterman made me smile and feel old. And the...- Polonius

need sunglasses recommendation
I'm also a big fan of these: They're made of titanium, have great polarized lenses, and are absolutely bulletproof. Possibly in the style you're looking for. http://www.scheyden.com/ C- Polonius

Are Huntsman prices fully justified?
I started with Huntsman in, I think, 1999. Richard Anderson was my cutter, and he made me a really great DB worsted. A short time after that, he and Brian Lishak left Huntsman to start their own shop, Richard Anderson. I stayed with Huntsman for a few years, and they made me a few things I like...- Polonius

Sunspel Polo purchase?
I enjoy mine. They're small, so all things being equal, go up a size. The cloth is very open-weave, so the shirts are very cool-wearing. Probably not as durable as pique Polo or Lacoste- Polonius

Fresco Blazer - Fabric recommendation
It just so happens that I've got 0516 Minnis swatch on my desk and thought about it long and hard. I was afraid it might wear out too quickly, so Had my suit made in 0533. That's the heaviest fresco Minnis offers. It's a little rougher than what you're considering, but I like it so well, I'm...- Polonius

Fresco Blazer - Fabric recommendation
I've got a navy suit in14/15 oz Minnis fresco, which is great. It is so cool-wearing you can definitely go heavier with it. I just wore mine in 90 degree heat and was pretty comfortable. The heavier cloth doesn't crease and hangs beautifuly.- Polonius
