Are there any comparable OTC socks like Dapper Classic solid wool offerings? I have a few pairs of their cotton OTC and after picking up some Darn Tough socks for outdoors activity think will take the plunge on wool socks for everyday wear.

The Met also has a really bad exhibition called "Camp" that oddly has a Scholte piece owned by the Duke. I posted it in my twitter.

Is poplin or twill typically considered more formal for a dress shirt? I'm getting some made for work but I'm more of a SWD guy and don't really know what I'm doing

IMO, from more to less formal : poplin/broadcloth > end-on-end > twill > oxford > chambray

Yeah, being discussed in this thread:

The CM Graveyard: First Sartoria Partenopea... next J. Crew?

The outlet HF suits have white labels with maroon lettering (third label down on the left). They have names like Lindsey or Milburn and they have had a fake retail price of $1495 for years. Outlets like Saks Off Fifth, Barneys, NM, and plenty of online sites sell them. Not totally bad but...

I got thrown out of Barney's years ago for taking a picture of a dart on a suit.

How you fit the sleeves when you're getting paid in Good Exposure.

^In the article, Crompton says that the sleeves look like that because he put on some weight/bulked up a bit.

Cifonelli navy suit: Style breakdown

"The sleeve is also wrinkling rather as a result of me putting on a little bulk in the arms over time, and is tight across the top."

I'm not sure whether putting on a "little bulk" in the arms would have that twisting/large wrinkling effect in the sleeves, as the sleeves don't actually look tight.

Does anyone more knowledgeable than am I have any idea? Does that sound right?

 

[Bromley]

Yeah, I don't know man. Maybe get your stuff fixed up before doing the overview thing? Definitely not €6500 lookin sleeves.

The same thing happened to me a few years ago, except I was thrown out of a strip club for banging one of the dancers at a table.
