Hello gentlemen,
Longtime reader, first-time poster in need of some advice. I am looking to have some of my favorite Brooks Brothers OCBDs monogrammed in the next few weeks. My initials are BEF, but I am the fifth in my family to hold the name (after my dad, grandfather, great-grandpa and great-great grandpa). For reasons of practicality as well as sentimentality, I relate strongly to the Roman numeral V and never sign my name without it. But I'm wondering what exactly the etiquette is on including suffixes in monograms, i.e. BEF versus BEFV. How would that even be stylized? It's important to me to include the "V" in my monogram, but if I do, I want to do it properly. And if doing so simply isn't acceptable or sartorially inappropriate, I'd rather just not bother. Help/thoughts would be much appreciated. Happy to be here!
