Better than the days of "should I buy my fourth Ragosta?"

I don't even know what Ragosta is.

 

[bry2000]

You don't want to know.

Also, figures you wouldn't give a straight answer! Never was a huge Eidos fan anyway.

It's literally every shoe thread at this point (and half of CM now is basically just shoe threads). Jewel-toned shoes like emerald green tassel loafers, ruby red field boots, navy double monks, etc. Many made in strange and exotic leathers combined with suede panels. Oxfords are worn with jeans. Fiddleback waists are slapped on casual split-toe shoes. Just combos that don't make any sense in any kind of classic men's style language.

Here are the very last pictures (of shoes) for each "big" CM shoe thread in the 1st page right now

I'm under the impression you're slightly exaggerating.

The RRL thread is underrated. Or I could just be in a phase.

I don't want to post people's photos if Im using the images as examples of things I don't like. That seems unnecessary and mean. But if you comb through the threads, there are countless examples.

There are some examples but it's not the flood you seem to describe.

Yup, the prevalence can’t be that high, other than 2 brands maybe.

James Bond and the Gauntlet (Turnback) Cuff – Bond Suits

Before we are introduced to James Bond’s face in Dr. No, we first see his dinner jacket’s satin silk gauntlet cuffs. The gauntlet cuff, also known as a turnback cuff, is a turned back cuff at the end of the sleeve that extends approximately to the first button. It’s a subtle Edwardian detail...

www.bondsuits.com

Yes, that is a turnback cuff, as you describe, but that is not the same as gauntlet cuffs, which is applied, not turned back!

 

[Butler]

I always associate gauntlet cuff with outwear and maybe dinner jacket, never knew it was a thing on suit at certain point

Oh it is - check out my Instagram for plenty examples: henrikhjerl

(I am probably overthinking this, but here goes).

I am trying to learn about ivy style. I understand that shetland sweaters are a staple for FW, but what kind of sweaters would you consider for an ivy look for colder spring/summer days?

I am currently looking at some solid crew neck sweatshirts and some crew neck summery knits in cotton/linen blends. Not sure what details/cuts to look for.

DC is hellishly hot and stick in the summer but Spring tends to be cool and wet. I wear linen sweaters for outside dining on those nights when the sun goes behind a building and it cools fast.

No idea about the Ivy thing, though.

"Mist" ivory linen rolled edge tunic sweater (restock)

<p>"You'll be hard pressed to find an outfit this sweater won't work with! The rolled edge tunic style and the cool hand of the ivory linen yarns play off each other well making this a no-brainer for the season."<em> ---Kenshawn</em></p>
