    Borsalino vs. Borsalino Doria

    I now purchased another Borsalino wool cap at an antique shop, and this one has the "Doria" label. Made in Italy. Looks in excellent condition and well made - the newboy type with the button. Very nice tweed. Someone above said he spoke with someone who straightened out where the "Doria" fits...

    Proper attire

    I did purchase a classic navy blazer but worevit for the dinner Fri. evening at my nephew's ultra-elegant country club, along with my Liberty of London black-and-white patterned bowtie, blue dress shirt, very good cufflinks, and gray dress slacks. A staff member saw me walk through a room with...

    Proper attire

    This is what I ended up wearing (I'm second from right). The Luciano Barbera sportcoat was found by my tailor to have moth holes (ugh!) so he has a plan for it (it's very valuable and I'd really like to wear it again):

    I'm not. It wasn't one of the options I suggested. Dress slacks or suite trousers.

    Proper attire

    Thanks, but "proper cocktail attire" isn't specific enough for me. Please respond in regard to the closer of the several options I had proposed. I can also add a Talbott pocket square and , maybe and depending on the weather, a stylish optimo summer hat.

    Proper attire

    The daughter of my sophisticated nephew and his wife is becoming a "Bat Mitzvah" and I got the (broadcast e-mail) invitation to celebration near an upstate New York city last week. Apparently in connection with COVID, still, this couple chose to have this away from the synagogue from 11-4 on a...

    French cuffs on Charles Tyrwhitt shirt

    I'm sorry my holes are not father apart. A little detail I didn't see a hint of in the eBay description. However, it's a beautiful, non-iron shirt of a particularly attractive cornflower blue. New French cuff dress shirts, let alone non-iron are virtually impossible to find even in a city as...

    French cuffs on Charles Tyrwhitt shirt

    So going by my photo, if I connect the hole to the lower of the two holes that's the option to make the sleeve longer? No wonder the difference was so minute when I tried the two possibilities. Has anyone seen another brand with this feature? Is it a British thing?

    French cuffs on Charles Tyrwhitt shirt

    Can someone please explain the purpose of having the two buttonholes on one side of each sleeve on a Charles Tyrwhitt dress shirt? I've tried the cufflinks both ways - using the upper holes and using the lower holes - didn't notice any difference in sleeve length between the two options, if...

    Stylecraft Cap

    I purchased at a good vintage store in Ellicott City, MD a newsboy cap the seller labeled the '30s. I asked what she based that on, as it's such a classic type it could be the ''50s, etc. and she replied that dating came from the individual she got the hat from and that individual usually knows...
