    Ongoing Bespoke Projects

    There is no real central thread about this, so here goes. Share the joy of anticipation! Show us pics of your current bespoke projects. Currently, I have two projects in the works, shoes and a suit. The shoes: And the suit:

    I'll be there until the 17th-20th and would love to meet fellow Sfers. Who's attending?

    Grey/silver grenadine as formal tie?

    Do you think a light to medium grey grenadine (garza fina) works as a formal tie? I fear it might be too informal because of the surface. Problem is I really like the idea of dark blue suit, white shirt, silver tie as formal ensemble but I really, really hate almost all silver (shiny) ties one...

    What color socks with white sneakers?

    What color socks do you wear with white sneakers? I really like them, be it in canvas for summer or leather for winter, but I'm always somewhat unsatisfied with my choice of socks (usually mid-grey). In summer you can go sockless of course, but in winter... Also, what thickness/structure? Do...

    "SF approved"

    Could we please stop saying that? It doesn't even mean anything.

    cheap alternative to Common Projects?

    Is there a poor man's version that is close to the design? Specifically the Achilles low in white. Sorry if this has been answered before, a search didn't bring any relevant thread titles up.

    Where is the John Lobb bespoke stuff?

    Most of the high-end bespoke stuff posted here seems to be G&G, with a little F&S and some Italian makers in the mix. JL being the best known bespoke shoemaker (I'm not talking about JLP obviously), I'm wondering why not more people want to have this experience. Is it just because of the prize...

    What ties for what occasions?

    A question for those who wear ties regularly to work, to social events and in their spare time: do you differentiate between different kinds of ties? Like, neatly patterned ties or regimental stripe ties for business, plain ones for social occasions, unusual materials (shantung, raw silk, linen...

    ...and not with legs lying on the ground?

    DB/SB dinner jacket/lounge suit formality question

    "Why are DB dinner jackets less formal than SB ones while with lounge suits it's the other way round?" just didn't fit in the title line. I guess it has something to do with tradition, but I'd be happy if someone could shed some light on this matter.

    Ethletic Footwear

    Just stumbled upon Ethletic Footwear: a kind of fair-trade sneakers, made from organic materials (through Commerce with a Conscience). Seems like it's a project worth supporting, does anyone have experience with the brand? Construction, fit, quality?

    WAYWRN: missed posters

    Maybe it's just me, but I do miss a lot of (once) regular WAYWRN-posters, other very good ones only post rarely, which is a shame. If we get some votes together, maybe we can persuade some of them to start posting again/post more. You can also declare your love to specific posters for even...

    Aggressive lasts less apparent in suede?

    I've made the observation, that aggressive lasts like the Vass U last appear to be quite less so in suede. Take, for instance, a few of von Rothbarts pics from the Sf Gallery. First, U last Chukka in suede: Then, U last three-eyelet derbys in calf: Does anyone share this observation? I...

    Moderntailor Italian Collar - anyone ordered this?

    Has anyone ordered the "Italian" collar from moderntailor? I hoped the 2-button cut-away would satisfy my needs for a tall collar with a nice roll/curve, but it didn't. To me, it looks generic and lifeless. The only other option I saw was the Italian collar, but I'm a little afraid it might...

    Alternatives to Google/googlemail

    I don't want to use google anymore (neither as a mail provider nor as a search engine), they're just getting too creepy. Does anyone know good, independent alternatives? If I had to, I'd also pay a little just to be really independent. At the moment, I'm using forestle as a search engine...

    Loake Last Comparison (026, Capital, 3625)

    As the title says: how do these lasts compare in terms of: - size (e.g. size x in last y means -0.5 in last z etc.) - shape (e.g. suitable for high instep, roomy toebox etc.) - look (sleekness, chisel or rounded toe etc.) I found the following related threads, but they didn't contain all the...

    Moleskin: Velvet's Straight Cousin

    AKA MOLESKIN Appreciation THREAD Instead of just another "XY Appreciation thread" I thought this would make a nice title. I'll start with one of my very few WAYWRNs: btw, regarding the thread title, what does differenciate moleskin, technically, from velvet? Both are (afaik) made from cotton and have...

    Loake Blackfriars

    Does anyone own the Loake Blackfriars and can comment take some pictures? I like the way they look on the website, but on a double monk, the double straps are easy to mess up imho.
