Uber in Paris is kind of weird compared to global Uber. Neither the driver, nor the car, are the ones on the app. The drivers were often illegals. Rest of the world, the checks are more stringent.Well the RER at 10 euros is more practical. Of course as you go through the Saint Denis area you can cross a gang or two in the train.
Uber are thieves but it is safer (apart of course if you have a driver like the one who raped and killed a foreign girl two years ago).
I probably have a unhealthy fondness for peak lapel (and I have no problem wear peak lapel suit every other day to the office)
Just visited Sky Valet at City Center here in DC. It’s cool and rainy out and I was sick of being inside. Anyway, the owner was the only one in the shop. He was quite friendly, gracious and knowledgeable. Apologies to all who felt wronged at this place but I had a great experience.
We talked brands, sizing, shoe dyeing, fits, etc. He doesn’t carry Carmina anymore and has switched to the Spanish brand Yanko from Mallorca. He also had John Lobb (out of my range!), Alden, C&J and some Italian stuff. He did mention he was the first US stockist for Carmina.
Looked at RM Williams Chelsea boots but they were too casual. I have some AE Dalton’s for casual wear in sloppy weather. Bought a pair of perfectly fitting C&J Chelsea boots in dark burnished brown. Will post a pic when I get home.
I think I will be back to visit again.
Aside from being considered more formal which I'd personally ignore, I thought peak lapels are beneficial in creating a slimmer silhouette for those who need it?
I think makes me taller is probably more important, I'm probably better off putting on a few pounds (in the right place...), probably same reason I prefer structured shoulder vs. the last 5 years of trend of shirt sleeve
Older gentleman who said he was the owner of both shops. He talked fast and I missed his first name. Nice guy.Do you remember the name of the person who helped you?
Not sure of the exact Chelsea model. Can look later today after work. He only carried one model in brown from C&J.chelsea 5? personally would prefer chelsea 8 to be a dressier side (or the 348 version, but 348 doesn't fit me that well...)
A shorter jacket to elongate the legs help as well. Yes we shouldn't follow trends but what works for our own body and lifestyle.
Shorter yes but some of the stuff from past few years are too short even by my standard i’m a bit over 5’7”, i usually prefer jacket between 28 to 29 boc depending on the cut (for CM, for stuff like TS, Monitaly can be shorter don’t care).
Vass was at Louis Boston in 2004 or 2005 as well, in their first run in the US. The original reps of Vass in the US are still on this forum, if they care to chime in here on their experiences.just saw this, yea Sky Valet was the few ones to bring CJ and EG over in the earlier days, though don't think they're first on Vass or Carmina (counting BG's brief season of Vass)
In line with our earlier Thom Browne/Black Fleece discussions. From today's Wash Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ve-made-him-very-rich/?utm_term=.4e7438788481
I still find that his suits do not work for me.
I really really rarely see people wear TB suit, does see his bd shirt/sweater/pants/shoes gets worn though
