    Does anyone have a picture of Crispaire #333100 or a suit made up with it? Thanks.

    thats an exact quote and I described what I meant by CMT (i.e. i will provide fabric). They did say they are running a "promotion" which would give a 15% discount off those figures. Still much higher than others have quoted historically.

    I didn't order anything on the tour but saw him in January and had a suit made up which I think was a bit less than $750. I got this in an email from them....The price for a CMT (2 piece suit) is US$1200-. The price for a CMT trousers only is US$280- each. Thoughts?

    Ascot Chang Student Discount - A Good Deal?

    they make a nice shirt. good construction, fit, etc. Their base fabrics (no-name books) are not very good but they have a large selection of Thomas Mason and Alumo. I would stick to these. And FYI - they are MTM not bespoke.

    Clothing advice to a new investment banker

    KISS (Keep it simple stupid) Stay to charcoal, navy and white. Black or dark brown conservative shoes (Alden for laceups, Ferragamo and Gucci for loafers are pretty standard). No bold pinstripes. Nothing loud or in bad taste.

    Recent Economic Decision and Impact on Vass?

    it was my impression that the devalued currency was not really an advantage for the U.S. buyer (unless you travelled to Hungary) Is that correct?

    OMG! Mafoofan Sighting in NYC!!

    Nope, I wasn't there. What made you think it was me? that's disappointing. The guy was sitting at a table behind me and I didn't want to stare so I guess I didn't get a real good look. I should have known. he was not wearing rubinacci bespoke.

    cordovan belts

    I have one from Alden which matches the color of my Alden shell cordovan monkstraps. I'm hoping that it's more durable than a high quality calf belt but that hope is not substantiated. The fact that it is pieced together doesn't bother me and I sometimes wear withot a jacket.

    Navy Blazer with brown horn buttons

    Polo RL has a nice 3 roll 2 Navy Sportcoat by Corneliani with brown horn buttons and nice soft shoulders. They are 30% off right now ~ $760. The reason they are not on sale any further is that they are a basic item that doesn't go deep discount, even in these tough retail times. I know because I...
