Penny Loafer question
A brand called "Mocassinis" ("loafers" in Italian) makes a loafer where the vamp is relatively short and the rise low; I guess they might impinge on the base of the neck of the foot less? Just speculating. I have a pair and they seem nice for the price. They are a rather narrow, FYI.- JJ Katz

Classic look for tropical holiday?
Now, those are from the 1930s. For today's much more informal take, I think some of the ideas from the 1950s might feel more easily adaptable. I think that quite a few years ago "Die Workwear" once posted on his website some B&W pics of various artists, etc. on Riviera in the summer which...- JJ Katz

Classic look for tropical holiday?
Jeans and Chelsea boots, to me, are more mid-season than tropical. Have you considered trousers in a lighter weight and colour? Unlined loafers? Espadrilles?- JJ Katz

What pants with a solo, solid black, 100% silk dinner jacket?
It looks like a dinner jacket (i.e., the top part of a "tuxedo", a.k.a. "black tie" outfit). I would wear it with a standard pair of black tie trousers: black barathea with a stripe down the side.- JJ Katz

Advice on where to begin
1) Would a linen suit as my only "formal" suit be a mistake? A: Almost certainly. Go for a “tropical” wool. 4) If I want something for occasions that request formal dress, am I basically confined to navy blue and dark grey? Would something like the Cavour mod 2 in glen check be appropriate...- JJ Katz

Bespoke Silk Plush Top Hat
Very interesting. I have a couple of questions: 1) where did you find "deadstock" silk plush, if I may ask? 2) The fellow on Reddit... Has he really figured out how to weave silk plush?- JJ Katz

Pitti Uomo 105 - the pictures, the styles
1) Absolutely love the warm-tweedy effect of the coat over the urbane-cool effect of the suit-tie-shirt combo 2) The 3PC on the left is so well balanced and both easy and elegant....- JJ Katz

The State of Black Tie: Your Observations
Remember that the fly of the original tux your piece comes from most likely was a button fly. The elasticated tab was buttoned, to one of those to keep it from riding up.- JJ Katz

Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread
Really enjoy Luxire products but always struggle a bit to discern between all the fabrics. Looking for a tan/khaki to mid-brown/caramel, 8 wale corduroy for some trousers. I found the interesting Modrone Tobacco Brown but perhaps a bit light, material-wise, for corudory. Ay other ideas, please'...- JJ Katz

How to stop overdressing
Per the OP's actual question: How would you feel in chinos/dark jeans + casual mocs/plain sneakers + BD shirt + sweater (when cool) but not a tailored jacket? You can always wear more formal clothes in your spare time, assuming your social circle is less slovenly than your colleagues are. That...- JJ Katz

Oxford Shoes a must with a three-piece-Suit?
It's one of those historically dubious, entirely arbitrary #menswear pseudo-rules/conceits that seem to have emerged only when these sort of garments fell into increasing desuetude.- JJ Katz
