Moving to London. How to adjust wardrobe.
I forgot to mention. NO button-down collars with ties. Or at all in the office, unless it's a Friday and you're wearing jeans / chinos.- MikeB

Moving to London. How to adjust wardrobe.
In what area will you be working? Traders dress very differently to advisory / corporate brokers, for instance. Lawyers also dress differently, in certain subtle respects. If you will be relatively junior (around VP level, judging by your age?) and working on the advisory side (IBD) then I...- MikeB

Shirts/ties for a younger man?
I'd like to echo the 'well dressed for an 18 year old' comments, above. If only I'd had this forum's resource at your age... I cringe looking back at the type of stuff I was wearing in 6th form. Try TM Lewin for (relatively) cheap and cheerful shirts. Their semi--fitted Windsors would...- MikeB

Thanks for the helpful info. I have checked out ebay and there are some suitable shoes on there, but I will have to confirm my sizing. What are your thoughts on Charles Tyrwhitt shoes? As per another thread, they are currently selling certain brogues for £70. I am thinking these...- MikeB

Here's to hoping that those of you with your ears to the ground can help me in finding a 'deal' for suitable footwear, similar to the one mentioned on the previous page. I have a pair of black, plain-toe Oxfords from the Zee brothers in Hong Kong, and will be ordering more from them in the...- MikeB

bespoke from Hong Kong!
What was the problem? Maybe I was being a little harsh. For the money, I guess that the shirts are reasonable. More specifically, as for what went wrong: In actual fact, nothing disastrous, just little niggly things that all add up. Eg, stitched-in collar stays, even though I specifically asked...- MikeB

I don't get why people on this forum are so gaga about jantzen. Having picked up my shirts, I'm not sure I get it, either.- MikeB

Found the Zee brothers very easily. Great little find - thanks for the recommendation. I know little to nothing about shoes, so opted for some black, plain toe Oxfords for my first try. Might see if I can personalise the design a bit when I go in for the first fitting on Thursday. Jentzens was...- MikeB

How do I fix this (JANZTEN shirt)?
it's a modification that many people (myself included) make because Jantzen's standard armhole is pretty wide. Apologies for hi-jacking the thread, somewhat, but are there any other 'traits' - such as the one mentioned above - that one should be aware of when ordering from Jantzen? I have a...- MikeB

For shirts, Ricky would usually just measure you up once and then make up the shirts. When I went back, my shirts had already been bagged and sealed; they clearly didn't plan on second fittings. When you see his shop, you'll know why. It's tiny. But you would recommend having a second fitting...- MikeB

Don't bother to call him in the morning HK time, either. He doesn't open for business until 11:30 am on a good day. Sounds like my kinda job! Thanks for the info, as you've saved me an early rise ;-) I emailed Ricky and he replied that the timing was a bit tight, but he is willing to post the...- MikeB

MikeB, I will be in arriving in HK a few days after you. Jantzen will be closed from at least Feb 17th (the day I arrive) and reopen March 4. I imagine you have time to get some shirts, but you might want to check with Ricky. He actually answered my e-mails about his vacation schedule very...- MikeB

I will be in HK from roughly 13th Feb until 20th Feb. I was looking to engage the services of the shoe maker recommended in this thread, but am worried as I now realise that my visit coincides with the Spring Festival / New Year period. I was also looking to visit Jantzen for some shirts...- MikeB
