    Ivory Dinner Jacket Queries: What pants, what facing, etc

    Shirt - White, 100% cotton, lay down = classic Brooks Brothers collar, see B.B. online for reference. Over the past few years my shirt (light starch) has acquired a subtle patina that works perfectly with my Ivory silk shawl collar DJ, Black tie ,to be tied, NOT the Bob Goulet model, and the...

    Kiton Dress Shirt Collar

    Gents, Went shopping for some new clothes today and looked hard at an absolutely beautiful Blue Kiton dress shirt, it had a button cuff which I could live with, however the length of the collar was a little off putting. Does anyone know how long that spread collar is? 3 1/2" ? Also, I am a dry...

    3 piece (vested) suit

    Gentlemen, I need your assistance. I am looking for a Fall/Winter 3 piece suit- RTW, I am a 36 Short, and being disabled, it is very difficult for me to go to different stores in different locations. Does anyone have a suggestion for a merchant where I might have some luck? Have tried the usual...

    Double Breasted Style.

     Agreed. Not that great of a fit, shoulder not great either, IMHO, based upon those 2 side view photos.

     Don't forget the Packard convertible! Gary Cooper had great understated style. As did Nick Norte in the movie "The Prince of Tides", awesome Southern influenced traditional style, him personally, no, can do without the bathrobe

    Prince Michael of Kent

    What does any of this nonsense about his idiot son and his wife have to do with the original, interesting question, who is his tailor and his shirtmaker? Most recent photos show him in A and S DB suits, and his Navy Blazers (DB) and DB chalk stripes sure look like Gieves and Hawkes signature...

    Double Breasted Style.

     According to Hitchcock himself, it was McQueen who spread that rumor, absolutely no truth to it, A&S checked it out

    Double Breasted Style.

     Ditto, Prince Michael's look a little more rumpled, plus his shirt collar is higher, his tie knot is wider and larger. Just the right amount of "really don't pay attention "

    What is wrong with Brioni?

    Not unless Brioni is willing to move to Los Angeles. He wants to stay there, good part of the reason he left Saint Laurent

    What is wrong with Brioni?

     The Bond account never really had any impact, at least as far as it impacted sales in the 3-4 locations where I frequent whose mainstay luxury line was Brioni . It was nice advertising, but all the suits Brosnan wore were special order, not OTR selections. The only house that emphasized the...

    What is wrong with Brioni?

    The dismissal was no surprise as the appointment was a sign of desperation for a house that was experiencing many significant difficulties, please see my post earlier in this thread. The knee jerk reaction to bring him in was an unsuccessful Hail Mary. What they have to do now, and what they...

    What is wrong with Brioni?

    Great discussion. I am a boring, middle aged business man who, twice a year heads for my local Mens shop to order my DB Brioni for that season. In Spring 2016, after having carried Brioni for 46 years, they replaced the Brioni line with Isaia. The reason had nothing to do with the new tattooed...

    Joseph Abboud "American Savile Row"

    Does anyone know about this new project. I have seen the ads for it so I went to his website, nothing but another ad, clothing was all Spring 2016 linen clothing. I then e mailed their customer service, the reply was canned, and said they had no information about it, unbelievable. I then...

    Is black suit an acceptable business attire?

     Completely agree, the midnight charcoal gray is black at night and totally appropriate for business during the day, the white shirt at night makes it elegant, a light or ice blue during daytime makes it business appropriate. Where it becomes questionable is when it looks so dressy/formal...
