My tailor just started selling some neat looking microfiber pocket squares on kickstarter. See them here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nicholasmonterotti/microfiber-pocket-squares-made-in-america

I'm stuck as to which one I want. I currently only have a white linen square, but want to work some more pocket squares into my outfits. I'm leaning towards the patch. Obviously 12x12.

Thoughts?

I don't really see the appeal of polyester pocket squares.

They're all horrible. You can get a 12" silk square from The Tie Bar in a million different colours for ten bucks. And then you'll want one that's bigger and nicer. No. Don't encourage it.

Are you referring to me?

Can I please have some opinion on this suit?

I am curious about the sleeves. Are the sleeves of the suit too long?
Or are the sleeves of my (inside) shirt too short.

Please let me know what you think.
Thanks,

Hey Everyone, I was hoping for some feedback on my recent MTM experience with these gray flannel trousers. Any tips for the next pair?





Thanks in advance!

Which Dinner Jacket is better?

 


Or is it none of the above? I was thinking the first one IMO.

First one, unless you're Hugh Heffner in which case go for number 3.



How high up my back should I wear a messenger bag?

I don't really see the appeal of polyester pocket squares.

They are an ingenious invention, as they can be used to clean your glasses, tablet computers, etc. I would not wear them every day, perhaps, but they are ideal for long flights. Declan has much nicer ones, however.

Too tight around the seat, thighs and rise. I challenge you to wear them for a whole day and report back as to how comfortable it is to wear. You will NOT be standing all day so your trou need to be COMFORTABLE. I made this mistake with altering OTR trousers. I now have a 9" leg opening and ample room in the seat & rise without being tight. My rise has to be at least 11.5" cause I wear them below my navel.

Linen is your friend if you absolutely must wear a suit, otherwise expect to be seriously uncomfortable.

Point taken, thanks. It's a very light cotton suit but I'll bring a back up just in case!

Forgive the silly question but can't get a solid answer...Does "conservative business dress" stand for conservative business dress? If so, is that just the standard blue suit, white shirt, black shoes, etc?

What I ultimately am trying to find out is if i can wear double monks in a conservative environment (law firm) but didn't know if asking if they were "conservative business dress" was the right way to ask it.

It does stand for conservative business dress, at least on this forum. I doubt anyone else would know what you meant by it.
Double monks are not conservative business dress. There is an entire thread dedicated to it. I don't have the link handy right now, but you should be able to search for it.
