Thoughts on this jacket....
I wouldn't put any thoughts on this jacket. It looks fine just like it is. http://lordbyronsrevenge.blogspot.com/- Lord Byron

Brooks Brothers Suit
It's not like you're on the hook for what you thought was a Kiton or Brioni. Most BB suits have the label sewn in, but I would think the real concern now is: is the suit of acceptable quality for what you paid? People will see the suit more often than the (missing) label...- Lord Byron

What Movies Are You Watching Lately
"Even the Rain" is a superb film, in Spanish with English subtitles. "Mesrine" is a two part , true story crime epic, in French with English subtitles. "Starmaker" is a great Italian film. Anything by French director Luc Besson. Feel free to inquire. I know a little about film...- Lord Byron

Buying suits for work - need advice badly!
A $500 suit is a dark alley in a tough neighborhood, regardless of the online forum. So if you get beat up for going there, you get beat up. But let's be as gentlemanly as possible with the mugging. A black suit is very cinematic, but the comment about it being for funerals and evenings out is...- Lord Byron

Only one suit - what colour would it be
Navy. And never, ever wear the suit jacket as a sport coat. Buy a blazer. Also navy. But don't join the navy, it's much too dangerous. Water and guns and all that. Just buy navy. http://lordbyronsrevenge.blogspot.com/- Lord Byron

Los Angeles area: Recommend MTM/MTO shirt makers please.
I live in Los Angeles. Last year, my wife gave me a gift certificate for made to measure shirts from Joe Hemrajani of mytailor.com. Joe fitted me personally at a hotel room in Century City. I chose midrange fabrics, and added a monogram and extra thick MOP buttons. I spent approximately $150 per...- Lord Byron

Beginnings of a Charvet Habit....
Petite inquiry into the sequence of events: Did you agree to marry this young lady before or after she bought you a Charvet shirt? I ask because, had a woman agreed to buy me a Charvet shirt, I would surely have consented to marriage. What's more, if I had consented to marriage prior to the...- Lord Byron

Drivers' Caps: Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down?
Life is never as easy as 'thumbs up or thumbs down'. Like many articles of clothing, hats require a sense of style--knowing what looks good on you and why--and confidence. They also serve nicely to keep your head warn in the winter and prevent sunburn in the summer. I have a collection of...- Lord Byron

Watches for a Rookie
You might consider looking at a vintage Cartier tank watch. The simplicity of the white face, black Roman numerals, and black leather or lizard band speaks volumes. I've seen many models online in the $300 range. Have a reputable jeweller confirm the authenticity of the watch prior to purchase...- Lord Byron

...to change a nation's style image
It's a tricky proposition to open a speciality clothing store in a country where, according to you, people don't care how they dress. But, if you want to persist, first, write a business plan. This will eliminate your vague ideas. Second, solicit assistance from leaders in your country's...- Lord Byron

Any good 3/4 coats out there?
Loro Piana has some of the best coats I've ever seen. The 3/4 seems to be a speciality of sorts with them. Classic style, strong construction, expensive, but long-lasting. NYC store.- Lord Byron

Good outfit for apt. hunting in LA?
Good advice to avoid the suit. Speaking as a landlord, my opinion is that is does matter how you dress. The reason being that a landlord will look at the way you dress and assume, fairly or not, that your apartment will be maintained in similar fashion. Will I have ants because this guy leaves...- Lord Byron

Conspicious consumption
Prominent logos on your clothing in educated, sophisticated, and affluent social circles either denotes a highly refined sense of irony or a desperate need for attention. Most of the time, the latter. Who do you want to impress? I heard a friend say once that it should take five minutes for...- Lord Byron

Do you wear a blazer?
I can only echo the sentiments of other members' posts here. My only suggestion would be to really shop around and get some advice you trust as to what style (DB, SB, vents, no vents) looks best on you, is the most comfortable, the most durable, and most versatile (year-round fabric). Stick...- Lord Byron

Critique my shirt...
That is a very nice shirt. I'd heard Anna Matuozzo was very good. This confirms it. It fits like bespoke. Did you go to Naples? If so, I'd love to hear about the experience.- Lord Byron

Neapolitan jacket drape
I've never heard of a "drape" cut in Neapolitan tailoring, but my knowledge and experience is limited in this regard. That said, any true Neapolitan jacket will allow more freedom of movement than an English cut, "drape" or no "drape". I would not recommend this...- Lord Byron

How to dress down - while dressing up?
Tom and GQGeek offer excellent suggestions regarding the collar of the shirt in question and the fit. Comments regarding the wool slacks are right on the money; I was thinking of a more casual look. Many shirtmakers (Charvet being one) now offer a line of shirts specifically made to be worn and...- Lord Byron
