Pardon the intrusion...I need your thumbs. Donating $1 to the ASPCA for every thumb on this post, up to 200 thumbs / $200. It's not an ad; not selling anything - just raising thumbs. Only have 138 and need 200 by midnight ET tomorrow 30 Nov. Thank you.

Already thumbed a couple of days ago, and I hope everyone here does the same. It's just a mouse click, no obligation, no cost. Please do it.

It's important to have friends from other species.

Some amazing fits.

For Grenadine ties, is there any reason to go with a finer weave vs the "Garza Grossa" ? Seems like the former negates the point, thought I cant imagine they're not interchangeable for the same occasions/outfits.

Yes. The looser weave is more likely to catch on nails, loose skin, women's earrings etc
Seriously.

Shows u how saturated the world is with Americana.   Maybe I subliminally knew it from your sig, but as soon as I saw this pic I though 'Frisco'.  I've neva been there.    Awsm look jc


:cheers:

I always like seeing a bit of the landscape in people's pics. This is a quiet alleyway near our place where the light is nice, and moreover I have plenty of room to #menswearwalk ;)

Nice. I think the choice of grey trousers there helps cool down the shoes (which look much more like snuff, perhaps not surprisingly).


Yep, I think you're right. With the lighter tan flannel the warm factor is probably too high. I wore them with dark jeans in a fit I posted in casual waywrn the other day and that worked well too.

I prefer fina. Grossa skews casual to me, and at that point I'd rather choose a silk knit.

u made that tie, EFV?  I've been looking for something like that in a solid teal for yonks.  That looks beautiful.


Don't know. Depends on when it's from. A friend and I started making ties ourselves a couple of years ago. Then we involved a seamstress to meet the demand. It kinda died out since I didn't have the time to keep it going then (it was a hobby that started to take up a LOT of time). It was a lot of fun though.

Fall colors while continuing to look for ways to incorporate the snuff.

Very nice! Only thing I'd change is the collar, less rounded on your next (I assume luxire) order.

Fina/piccola works easily in a more business context, whereas grossa is sportier and more suited for casual suits and combinations. Fina/piccola has still a nice texture though, quite different from a plain twill. I'd happily wear a silver/grey fina/piccola to my wedding but would never consider a grossa.
