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...- Lafont

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...- Lafont

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...- Lafont

Dinner suits, waistcoats, buttons
I put together a fabulous outfit for my daughter's wedding in 2007. It included a vintage, one-button, French bespoke, midnight blue dinner suit with black satin lapels and a very British- looking, non-lapelled, single-breasted waistcoat or vest. During the event (or at least standing, anyway...- Lafont

There it is again....
A bit of humor.... There was a Ted Baker bow tie with restrained flower pattern I admired in Nordstrom's Beachwood Place(Greater Cleveland) last year. Very English and very spiffy, but I couldn't rationalize buying it unless it went on sale. I also looked for the tie in other stores (e.g...- Lafont

Arnys
I acquired, recently, a pre-owned Arnys beret - in excellent condition. It is a tan composed of very subtle stripes in the wool fabric, and orange and dark brown stripes forming a plaid. The inside lining is probably wool also, and it is stitched into a thin grossgrain band of what could be...- Lafont

Luciano Barbera Sportcoat
I just acquired at a church resale shop a plaid Luciano Barbera sportcoat marked $25. :happy: I'd say it's a glen plaid with a hint of blue with the black, gray, and white stripes. I think the fit is perfect and the condition is beautiful. It has the leather "Luciano Barbera" tag, leather loop...- Lafont

Feather?
For complete historical accuracy, please: I'm attending a historical event in an 1897 mansion where the owner will speak on a locally famous, unsolved murder of 1910. Our invitation says coming in costume and/or wearing a hat is encouraged. I'm going 1910 style - semi formal, I'd say - and...- Lafont

Difference?
Can anyone tell me, please, the difference between "Lafont" and "Jean Lafont" eyewear? I've got a lot of information about Lafont Eyewear - its history, the company, etc. but I don't see where "Jean Lafont" fits in. Yet many frames are marked or advertised as "Jean Lafont." Thanks!- Lafont

Knit Shirt/Sweater....
How do you guys feel about wearing a long-sleeved polo shirt under a sweater - either pullover or cardigan? If one wears the shirt with a pullover, and some of the shirt collar is showing, should all the buttons, of the typically three, be buttoned? How about a regular cloth shirt under the...- Lafont

Queen Elizabeth's Eyewear
So Queen Elizabeth II gets her eyewear from Roger Pope and Partners - the London optician. Does anyone know which designer/maker her recent frames are? From the small percentage of photos I've seen her wearing glasses I note last year she wore a rimless frame, but this year I see her in a metal...- Lafont

Details on "Steve Jobs" Lunor Frame....
I'm acquiring a second Lunor frame and, as kind of a perfectionist in certain things, I want it to be as meticulously like the frame Steve Jobs wore in his last years. Of course I don't know if he wore exactly the same one all that time, but whatever.... Some have written the model was Ideal I...- Lafont

Mailing a Tie
What is considered the proper way to mail a necktie? The pre-owned Kilgour tie I just received from the UK was mailed to Ohio in a wrapping labeled as made for ties, but it was folded several times and came with the expected creases. I tried to iron these out - very carefully, as I know...- Lafont
