    Looking for comments on vest

    I had it made for me in Indonesia.

    New RTW suit with different length sleeves?

    I'm obviously less apathetic than the average bear.

    New RTW suit with different length sleeves?

    I'm not so much perturbed by it as curious - is such an inconsistency very rare or is it really all too common?

    New RTW suit with different length sleeves?

    I get every step (and am implementing every step) bar the 'profit' one, which I don't understand... [1] I bought the suit, I intend to wear it. [2] It wasn't marked down for having different sleeve lengths. [3] I do have to change the sleeve lengths (which = loss on the original price), but...

    New RTW suit with different length sleeves?

    Last week I ordered a new linen Etro suit from Yoox. Not too expensive, but certainly not suspiciously cheap. Today I went to the tailor to get it adjusted - mainly to have the pants taken out an inch or so. While I was there I tried on the jacket properly for the first time and noticed the...

    Black morning coat, brown batik...

    Hmm. Thanks! Now I'm really torn. My SO was apparently against the tan linen suit on the grounds of its texture, rather than colour. I was concerned that the colour would be too informal for a church wedding. But if she can stomach the colour and I can stomach the texture, then it seems okay...

    Black morning coat, brown batik...

    From a previous thread, there was the suggestion that a tan linen suit might work with batik for my wedding... That was my plan, at least, and it wasn't shot down here. It was shot down in real life by my mother and, more importantly, the bride, who said that the suit just wasn't formal enough...

    Suit or Morning Coat for SE Asian Summer Wedding

    The wedding's at 9am and the reception is at noon. Both venues have AC, but after just spending almost a month in Jakarta, I know what sort of issues I'm liable to face with the heat. 30C is the average top temperature in January and Jakarta doesn't tend to fluctuate too much - you'll have a...

    Suit or Morning Coat for SE Asian Summer Wedding

    I am pleased to say that I've discussed the matter of what I'll wear with the bride and she expresses no preference for one or the other. She also wouldn't be concerned about waistcoat vs tie either. I suppose with neither suit nor waistcoat here, it's a bit hard to evaluate just how well...

    Suit or Morning Coat for SE Asian Summer Wedding

    Hmm. Doesn't sound like a bad idea. I'd certainly consider it if it looked better. I mean, I'm having the waistcoat made up anyway by the bride's parents, so it would be a bit indelicate not to wear it, but just the tie has an appeal. If that was the case, I suppose I'd favour a necktie over a...

    Suit or Morning Coat for SE Asian Summer Wedding

    Why not wear something entirely Indonesian? It sounds swell. It looks horrible and completely out of place on a whitey. I know, because I basically wore it attending another wedding in Indo recently. I am also yet to see any photos of a traditional marriage in Indonesia between an Indonesian...

    Suit or Morning Coat for SE Asian Summer Wedding

    I'm getting married in Jakarta in January. So, average 30C (85F), 95% humidity and I sweat a lot. There is a fair amount of latitude in what I wear though - there's no bridal party, so no matching of suits/gowns etc. is required and the bride is wearing a fairly standard light gown. The one...

    Thoughts on hvana?

    Unsurprisingly, there is more than one graphic print. Less interested in whether a particular phrase appeals to members, more interested in thoughts on raw cashmere t-shirts.

    Thoughts on hvana?

    Browsing through yoox.com, I searched through the cashmere section for a bargain and came across some hvana cashmere t-shirts (no - they aren't a bargain). They are cashmere, bit thicker than standard t-shirt weight and a bit see-through. They're also raw cut and have an individual feel - a...

    What does everyone think of the brand Etro?

    I adore them. Perhaps that's partly because I got a shirt of theirs over the net, not knowing the fit, and it's one of the best fitting things I have. So I bought more. Not game enough to touch their more extroverted items though.

    New CT jodhpurs - two questions

    I just received some Charles Tyrwhitt jodhpurs in the post and they look great and seem to fit fine. I just have two questions about them. [1] The strap that pulls the two halves of the ankle section together has three holes for adjustment, but it would need to go even tighter for the shoe to...

    Help me get a pick a pair Jodphurs boot

    I had a feeling the Barker jodphurs were actually exactly the same shoe as the CT Jodhpurs (including same colour)... except stamped with Barker, and with a Barker cloth rather than CT shoe bags. I just ordered the CT jodhpurs, a size smaller than I've been getting recently, so hopefully...

    Help me get a pick a pair Jodphurs boot

    Wow. I saw the CT Jodhpurs on eBay and made a bid. The pair sold for J135 + about J20 shipping. Fortunately I didn't win the auction, because I'd already discovered the price on CT's own site is J106 (without VAT) + J12 shipping. Whoever just won that eBay auction paid US$60 more than they...

    kitchen knife Appreciation

    I'm not sure I can make a valid Shun vs Henckels comparison seeing as I haven't used them that much yet and I also don't really own similar knives in both so can't do a straight comparison. Having said that, the Shuns feel sharp and professional, while the Henckels feel 'cosy'. The Shun nakiri...
