    Wearing a black pinstriped suit...

    Ahhhh I misunderstood. Thank you, I do understand what was meant now. How about more formal weddings or business dinners?

    Wearing a black pinstriped suit...

    I definitely wouldn't wear it at a funeral....then again I try to avoid funerals altogether. Disappointing though that it might be a bit too far afield as a general substitute for black

    Wearing a black pinstriped suit...

    I hope this isn't a silly question. If a black suit has significant pinstriping, in this case closely spaced brown and light blue stripes, is it still considered acceptable to wear it on occasions that one might ordinarily wear a black suit? I'm not a big fan of solid black so I am curious if...

    color palette suggestions for burgundy coat

    Man of Lint, thank you thank you. What a great post. Love the idea of looking to nature for inspiration. Something I don't do often enough when adding pieces to my wardrobe. I found that link very helpful too - full of possibilities. Thanks again.

    color palette suggestions for burgundy coat

    Yes, that is a bright white. I know exactly what you mean about the undertone, though I never considered its impact on the blue tie. Good call...I'll try ivory and cream as well.

    color palette suggestions for burgundy coat

    Testudo, I am fortunate to be able to step outside the norm and wear whatever I choose, especially in a field where we're expected to be creative and think outside the box. At industry events colleagues know to look for the man with shoulder length hair that isn't dressed like anyone else...lol...

    Ask A Question, Get An Answer... - Post All Quick Questions Here (Classic menswear)

    Two quick questions: I submitted a post yesterday asking for opinions for a color palette to match a coat. The post included a couple small photos. As of this morning it has not appeared in the Men's Clothing sub forum. Is there a restriction on new user posts? Or did I post the question in...

    color palette suggestions for burgundy coat

    Good evening all, I'm relatively new to the forum. I've seen some very attractively coordinated outfits on here these past several days and I'd appreciate your opinions as I assemble a few outfits around a coat that I "just had to have". It's a burgundy Zegna silk and cashmere coat. The...

    best place to get local tailor recommendations?

    I'm looking for a respected tailor somewhere in the Hartford, CT, Springfield, MA, Northampton, MA region of New England. I need work done on a few Armani, Kiton and Brioni suits and there's not much public information available about the competency of the local tailors. Might there be a...

    Couple questions about Armani Classico suit construction

    Thanks, Mute. It appears on closer inspection that they're both full canvas. I'm still hoping to find out if they were available with and without functional cuffs and if anyone has a Classico with pick stitching...one of mine has both, the other has neither.

    Couple questions about Armani Classico suit construction

    Good evening all, I'm new to the forum. I recently purchased two used Armani Classico suits and I have a couple questions about their construction. One has functional cuffs yet the other does not. Were the Classicos available with and without functional cuffs? Are Classicos half or full...
