Rounded barrel cuffs
Non-blue, non-white, non-ecru shirts
Tie space
Light tan shoes


What is your opinion of vested suits, iammatt?

Dislikes:

1)Obsessing over "hand-work" - mainly on shirts, but this also applies to other items as well
2)Monk-straps
3)The multitude of posters on here that abhor color of any kind.
4)Anything produced by Allen-Edmonds
5)SF groupthink re: a few brands, namely C&J, WW Chan, and CEGO.

It seems that I'm the only one that actually loves gusset loafers. To me it's the perfect shoe. Great with both denim and a suit. I own two pairs, and I'm looking for a third, but it seems that it's the hardest kind of shoe to find. Now I realise why. The only ones posted here, that I find to my liking, are the John Lobb Edward, but they are extremely expensive, at least for me.

Among other things, I hate:

patchwork anything (e.g., madras)

novelty anything. (e.g., Hermes ties, Vineyard Vines ties, ties with doggies on them, pants with embroidered motifs)

I've warmed up to a lot of things since reading this forum. My list would've been a lot longer 6 months ago.

But I'm still hating on:
- knit ties
- pinstripe suits
- cuffs on trousers, period
- long cuffs on jeans
- wingtip boots
- dress shoes/boots with a very round toe (think Tricker's... + wingtips = *gag*)
- boat shoes (although I'm slowly warming up to these)
- monkstraps (metal + shoes = *gag*)
