    Working with Breanish Tweed

    Nice report T4 I have used Breanish Tweed for several years -- at first -- going direct and then through A&S. The quality of the fabrics and the designs is second to none. Besides the above-mentioned windowpanes, they also have some lovely complex plaids that really blend together and don't...

    Inside Vincent Nicolosi

    Three quick points: 1. Vincent can be quite painful to deal with -- no question 2. As Collarmelton states, he does make some incredible garments (not consistently though) -- one of my best suits and one of my worst suits were both made by him 3. Having seen Manton wearing his Nicolosi suit...

    What to wear with linen pants?

    Not sure if I agree.  Personally, I find linen to be the most comfortable shirt fabric for the summer and I consistently wear white linen shirts with cream linen slacks.  No one has ever suggested that it looked off -- in fact, I have always received numerous compliments on the combination...

    holy hell, are these Kiton shoes??

    Love Kiton shoes. The best made, best looking and most comfortable RTW shoes I have ever owned -- leather, antiquing, last shape, worksmanship are second to none.

    ANyone ever hear of a "Nicolosi" Suitmaker/Tailor?

    Agree with Manton -- Nicolosi does wonderful work -- suits are quite soft compared to most NY tailors

    Collar stays

    I have flexible stays and they don't really work for longer collars such as the ones I wear. They constantly change shap as I move and have to be pressed back into shape with my fingers.

    Clothing Approbation

    "Were you aiming for a turn-of-the-century look, or this suit just turned out that way" Garment being referred to is a brown plaid 1-bu7tton peak lapel suit with patch pockets

    I want spectator shoes

    My understanding of Kiton's "bespoke" shoe program is that you could choose any of the leathers -- off the top of my head, they had ~30 different ones -- calf, antiqued cordovans and exotics (which cost extra) -- and start with one of their shoe designs (there were a number of designs...

    I want spectator shoes

    Originally Posted by Smooth Jazz,April 10 2005,20:35 Kiton has just the kind of spectators you are talking about in their current line-up. Â At the Kiton store or at Bergdorf Goodman?

    I want spectator shoes

    (A Harris @ April 08 2005,18:37) Here's my new spectators. Waddya think? I would have done the throat in the dark leather (is that black or oxblood?), but they look very good. I know that it isn't very traditional, but I do like the combination. I think that you're fortunate that T4Phage isn't...

    New & Lingwood Russian calf on ebay

    Bengal-Stripe: You must be a private investigator in your spare time. I could not be looking at them right, but the photo's of the actual shoes do not seem to have the characteristic mesh pattern of the Russian Calf -- you can see the difference when you compare the catalog pictures with the...

    Bespoke Shoes - Cleverly vs. Green

    Could be a neat product placement opportunity for EG to have you step on the pedal at your concerts wearing one of their bespoke Fawlsey's -- a little far fetched but probably worth a try

    Bespoke Shoes - Cleverly vs. Green

    Overall my experience with Cleverley has been positive save for one or two things -- my first pair was fine save the right foot felt too tight over the area where one laces the shoe -- the second had the same problem and so did the third despite both Mr. Glasgow and Mr. Davies assuring me the...

    What does your neckwear say about you?

    The comments are quite silly -- but in all fairness, John is one of the best tie makers out there in terms of getting the right blade shape and knot (the ties are truly bespoke as he cuts an individual pattern for each client) -- problem is that he does not have very many quality silks at his...
