    SB one button with DB lapels and vest

    Yes, Darren. Very nice work. I am afraid I missed your last visit to Wash. DC. I have a bit of fabric, perhaps I can have something made up with it? bespoken2

    I have that book, by farid. It's good, but not on the same level as the book from the company. Thanks for the heads up. bespoken2

    Brioni Book-50 Yrs. of mens fashion

    It has been awhile since I checked, but I am surprised to find it at my favorite place to buy books. Well, I've bit the bullet and I'm going to order it. It would pretty much complete my collection. I'm afraid if I wait too long, I will miss out and overpay for it. Same thing with the...

    Brioni Book-50 Yrs. of mens fashion

    Gents, Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the Brioni Book, 50 years of mens fashion? (or was it menswear?) I saw a copy on display at Bergdorf's a couple of years ago. I've search old book stores on the net and elsewhere, to no avail. I would like to have it to top off my collection of...

    Collect Apparel Arts or Adam magazines?

    I was wondering if any forum members collect these books/magazines? I have a few, some 30's esquires, also. I have never come across any Adam magazines from the 30's-? I would like to see some and perhaps copy the pics. bespoken PS: Would like to collect old menswear posters. Anyone know of...

    Big and Tall Advices

    Wow. Some really endomorphic 'brothers'. I would opt for made to measure. I too am of those proportions, well not quite. I am on the way down, for health reasons. For what you would pay for ready to wear, I would opt for made to measure. One could easily learn what one wants, with the plethora...

    Can anyone explain this Ebay auction?

    Looks like a "shill" bidder to me. It doesn't make any sense to jump from $30 to $1,000 +. One could easily retract the bid, if it was a mistake. It would appear with zero feedback, someone who recently opened an account. Bogus.. Inexperienced bidders don't have a clue. The idea of winning is...

    Sound system advice

    Brian, What am I advocating?...hmmm. In brief. In a perfect world, the less the electronics, recording gear and processing get in the way, the better the end result, in a nutshell. More lifelike, in an acoustic setting. But, whatever it takes sometimes to get a documentary of an musical event...

    Crossover vest with peak lapels

    I love it. I had Alan Flusser do a suit for me, with peaked lapels in the jacket and vest, a few years ago. My vest is a single breasted, as is the jacket. It was a conscious decision to have this made this way. The Polo vest takes on more of a formal tone. I would hope that the trousers have a...

    Sound system advice

    Lighten up, PHV. Get hold of myself...where? B&O is NOT high end. It is VERY good, for the looks and sound. If I were a dyed in wool audiophile (use to be) I would tear into you, like you wouldn't believe. I am not that anymore. I find it bothersome when musicians put on the "music is way more...

    Alan flusser

    Gentlepeople, Alan is a stylist, in my estimation. As is Ralph and several other fashionistas. I have known Alan Flusser for a short while. (Few years) I have been a customer of his for 8 years, maybe. I have had one suit made by him. A wonderful piece of work and the most I have ever spent for...

    Sound system advice

    Quote: I'll put it this way. I am a musician studying at a very high level. We are THE audiophiles, except I don't get so hung up about speaker cones, canary wires, gold plated whatevers... bespoken: [I would disagree with that statement, being THE audiophiles. Musician's are not. That is to...

    Sound system advice

    Determine your budget. Are you going to dedicate an area exclusively for listening? Do you have the room to place your speakers for the best imaging, depth of field qualities? If your budget allows, check with b&o for storage capability of your music for the home. If you are going to incorporate...

    Grenson shoe purchase

    Kabert, Nah. I am no competition. I am a very infrequent buyer of shoes. If there is a chocolate or snuff colored suede cap toe lace up, you may have a problem. bespoken2

    Grenson shoe purchase

    Hello to all, With this being my first post, I wanted to say that I have found this site to be a godsend. (Int'l Herald Tribune article) It has added another dimension to my continuing education in things sartorial. I thought it most appropriate to write in this section of the site, being...
