I just paid the balance on the ivory silk Formosa dinner jacket I ordered earlier this year. I deferred to Greg's opinion on things like MoP vs. fabric covered buttons (went with fabric covered). I intend on wearing this jacket for warm-weather black tie, so his recommendation of fabric covered buttons made sense to me; MoP has a bit more flash to it, and draws the eye to the buttons when light glints off of it which is essentially the opposite of what I'm trying to accomplish wearing black tie.

(Mind you that's just my opinion based on when I'll be wearing it and why I had it made)

I think that if the intent is truly to wear it for black tie events, then fabric-covered is best.

If you want to wear it in less formal situation (like the outfit below), then MOP would be great

I would wear that outfit every day

Strongly considering the Faliero Sarti peak lapel for potential wedding duty.

Thanks for the replies, Krish and Greg. I'm leaning towards non-black tie, as I rarely have an occasion to wear tuxedos. I would definitely wear the cream DB jacket with the above items displayed in Greg's post (minus the hat - I'm not a hat guy). If I do wear this to a black tie event, I could switch back to cloth buttons.

But again, I have 6-7 months to ponder. Sartorial pre-planning diversions - yay!!!

(not surprised)

but, from now on ........

Petrol blue Drake's w/l tie with brown jackets? Hard to tell from the pics. @gdl203 ? Does it come off with a slightly green/blue vibe, a dark turquoise? It's an interesting color.

Woohoo, FW Rota pre-orders incoming and it’s still freezing here so they’ll actually get some immediate use

And tossing up between the tan, brown, and paprika FJs. Tan seems most versatile, could wear with white, cream, green, navy, and brown pants..

Yeah, that Parika linen looks amazing. I don't really *need* a third Eidos FJ, but...

I haven't had much luck asking questions in this thread, but can anybody advise on the sizing of the Despair shorts by Stephan Schneider?

My one pair of Schneider bottoms (fw13 Eternal trousers) is a size 6, which is a pretty standard 34 (my regular size in general), but the measurements for these show a waist of 98cm (38.6 inches) on a size 4, and a massive 101cm (39.8 inches) on a size 5.

Does that mean they run about 3 sizes big or am I somehow misinterpreting the measurements?

If I happen to get a NMWA staff reply, do you still offer USPS shipping on request (in the gift message)?

 

[gdl203]

Yes we can ship USPS on request

 

[ike_hiking_boots]

Do EIDOS jackets run small?

I have some Schneider pants with a drawstring and they also fit pretty big in the waist, but are meant to be cinched down with the drawstring. Probably the same type of deal.
