Anna Matuozzo - A walk-through of my bespoke shirt purchase in Napoli.
Well, I beg your pardon if my tone was insulting. My exasperation was meant to be somewhat wry. I just find it funny that there's page after page (after page!) of bickering about quality, when the whole issue would be cast in a more appropriate light based on the appearance of the finished...- Greggers

Wait -- Ten goddamned pages and not a single pic of him wearing the shirt? WTF?- Greggers

Do you care how your coworkers dress? Does the decline of formality of dress bother you?
Something about this thread struck me as familiar, so I did a little searching and found a necro-thread written in 1813 entitled "Doth the Decline of Dryss Bother You?" No joke. Lots of good stuff there -- Vox was really at the top of his game. Here's a trechant post from a forum member named...- Greggers

Do you care how your coworkers dress? Does the decline of formality of dress bother you?
Another issue is the fact that as casualization grows, jacket and tie becomes increasingly marginalized and socially inappropriate. Costume. And I suppose that's fine with some people. This thread is a litany of "I'm the best dressed guy at my office (and I'm okay with that)," which...- Greggers

Do you care how your coworkers dress? Does the decline of formality of dress bother you?
I think the emotionally healthy response is to say that we don't care how those around us dress. But I think that in our iGent psyches, there's a lot of aspiration, not just for self-creation, but maybe for a little world-building. I think we'd like to live in a world where our aesthetic...- Greggers

Going into luxury/high-end stores with no intention of buying anything?
Not sure if serious. Of the off chance you're sincerely asking, browsing is not wasting anyone's time. Asking a question is not wasting anyone's time. Chit-chat is not wasting anyone's time. Seriously engaging an associate's time so that they're tracking down a shoe/shirt/suit, or...- Greggers

Going into luxury/high-end stores with no intention of buying anything?
Wow, I even said "please." Look, you can have the salesfloor skills of a kung fu master, and still not realize that the person that you're trying to help is, well, a dick -- someone who has little real regard, let alone respect, for the person trying to help him or her and make a living...- Greggers

Going into luxury/high-end stores with no intention of buying anything?
When you work sales, your most precious resource is time. Time wasted is money wasted -- money for bills, money for food, money for rent. If I'm working with you and you're deliberately wasting this time, I'm not helping that other customer who would otherwise be using my expertise in good...- Greggers

Going into luxury/high-end stores with no intention of buying anything?
I am a sales associate in a luxury department store. What Man of Lint posted is awesome. If everybody just did that, we'd be living in a retail utopia. The only corollary I'd add is that if you are "working with" Salesperson X, don't accept help at some point from Salesperson Y. Nothing is...- Greggers

whnay.'s good taste thread
Wait, what? The shoulders seem to square up nicely. The length is good. The chest doesn't bow. The bottom half splays a little, but his arm on the mantelpiece is pulling it open a tad. The waist is only modestly shaped, but it doesn't look sloppy. I don't get it. I may just be a...- Greggers

HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III
"Doesn't" what? I just said that I liked it better. How much worse did I make it? If the altered image had been the image that he initially posted, would you have commented that the tie knot was too large?- Greggers

HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III
Hi there, n00b with only 29 posts here. I'm not prepared to created a mathematical proof as to why, but for whatever reason, I like this better: The knot in the image is scaled up 50%. Just my opinion. Respect to Foo.- Greggers

Classic Menswear on Film: THE SPANISH CAPE MYSTERY (1935)
Thanks, Hugh. It wasn't until right before I posted last night that it dawned on me "Oh crap, capes." :facepalm: Before this thread fades into the mists of cyberspace, I'd like to try to make a couple of comparisons. Pants aside, what is the distance from this: to this: versus the...- Greggers

Classic Menswear on Film: THE SPANISH CAPE MYSTERY (1935)
Many of us who read this forum have an appreciation not only for clothing, but for classic men's clothing and the traditions behind it; traditions that often seem lost. So we search for these traditions, search over the archeology of these traditions, scouring DRESSING THE MAN, studying the...- Greggers
