    Secondhand Anderson & Sheppard ties.

    How much are good condition Anderson & Sheppard ties worth?  Imagine quite they're old; the patterns don't look modern. I've seen a few for sale secondhand hand and am tempted by them, partly because of the construction - some have that little piece of thred inside Flusser said marked a...

    Anyone heard of 'Saxon Hawk'.

    Hello. Has anyone heard of a brand of clothes called 'Saxon Hawk (of Savile Row)'? I just bought a suit made by them at a charity shop and wondered what the company's history was. I doubt it's Savile Row; the company name seems too contrived.

    Gap in heel.

    Hello. I might have a problem with the heel of one of my shoes.  It's the kind of heel that looks like it's made of two jigsaw puzzle pieces.  There's a gap where the two pieces interlock.  (This is when looking at the bottom of the heel.) I'm wondering if this gap could get water in it...

    Bargain-bin tie atrocities.

    Some plonker at House Of Fraser decided to throw a group of ties in a 70%-off bargain bin along with a t-shirt whose selling point was velcro-backed, detachable, letters of the alphabet. Several of the t-shirts letters had come off and stuck to tie, almost literally ripping them to shreds. Â...

    "He wore the same suit for five days"

    Some time ago, someone posted about how a colleague wore the same grey suit for five days without the poster realising. I think it was a bespoke or MTM suit. I'd like to know what the wearer did to make the suit look different every time. Changed shoe styles each day? Different coloured shirts...

    Complexion and colour co-ordination.

    Can anyone recommend a 'definitive' website or book on complexion and colour co-ordination? Ideally something with pictures of brown/dark skinned men and what they should wear. I'm having great difficulty knowing what colours to buy and am worried I'm wasting money buying clothes that aren't...

    Looking for outlet stores in/around London.

    Does anyone know of outlet stores in/around London where I could find good deals on suits, shoes accessories and such? I don't expect to find anything high-end; just solid stuff that I can look presentable in. Tks.

    Have I bought a woman's jacket?

    I bought a GAP leather jacket from a charity shop. Â I wonder if it's meant for a woman. The jacket has a zip instead of buttons. Â When wearing the jacket, the zip - i.e. the part I pull up to fasten the it- is on the right hand side. Â On all the other coats/jackets in my house (which are...

    Good kerchief size for pocketsquare.

    I bought five cotton handkerchiefs from T.M.Lewin.  They're all too big to be used for breast pockets (20.5" square). Assuming a 38, perhaps 40, size jacket what size kerchief should I buy?  I've specified the jacket size in case it's related to breast pocket size. Before anyone...

    Straight point collars in London.

    Does anyone know where I can buy straight point collar shirts in London?  I've got a budget of £20 per shirt (ideally less).   Hardly any shops in the West End/Regent St area seem to stock them.  Those there are available (seemingly less than 1% of total stock) are either too long or aren't...

    Question for those who've bought suits on eBay.

    Hello. I've been wondering about how easy/wise it is to buy an eBay suit without knowing what it feels like when tried on; what you think when you look in a mirror. Do you go by detailed measurements from the seller? Had you previously tried on a suit from the same company? It seems quite...

    I was on eBay looking for a mannequin. I want to sell some jackets, so reckoned I might as well present them properly. "Hey, that price looks good," I thought. Â Then I clicked the link and wondered if the seller was worth giving money to. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws....47&rd=1 *clicks heels*
