A Big Vote For Isaia and Miscellany
I've always been a fan of Isaia, maybe because their standard "Base S" fits me like bespoke, maybe because they're usually a lot cheaper than their Neapolitan cousins. Even Gianluca, the red-headed stepchild of the brand which is usually sneered at on this forum, offers beautiful fabrics and cut...- paul6001

Did Magnanni get better?
Gaziani & Girling and some other brands may be exceptions but, as a rule, Goodyear welted shoes are bigger and bulkier than Blake and Bologna made shoes. I’m puzzled that anyone with experience holding/wearing both types could argue with the statement. One or two or 10 outliers don’t change...- paul6001

Tie Width Wimp
Comrade, I'm going to get one of those clubs with the chains wrapped around the head and join you. I'm happy to report that the tie has found a permanent home in my closet, from which it will make one appearance every month—if it's lucky—in this tie-less world of ours. From a personal...- paul6001

Tie Width Wimp
I bought the pictured tie from eBay. It was advertised as 3.5” but when I unwrapped it, the tie turned out to be 3.75”. Horrors! Only a barbarian would wear such a thing, right? But I really like the tie. Colors, pattern, very nice weight and feel. Is the .25” a game ender? (3.5” being...- paul6001

Construction Questions
jeffreyd, I guess that I have to thank you for your response and your concern. Everyone seems very worried that I'm lying awake at night, obsessing about the canvas details of my suits. Maybe addicted to Benzos to diminish the tension I'm feeling about whether my canvas is keeping up. Really...- paul6001

Construction Questions
I just undertook an agonizing reappraisal of my suits and jackets. It was past time to admit that I’m not going to diet my way into this suit. Time to declare that jacket obsolete. Maybe my brother can use the other one. Truth be told, I’m working remotely half the time and when I’m in the...- paul6001

Should I? Part II.
No? A naive 28-year old girl who never has seen this before? God knows that I’m getting old and I need some help with these girls. Roofies are out of the question.- paul6001

Should I?
Sorry, you thought you were free of me, but I have to respond to people who need an education. “Before building his own label, Cesare Attolini was employed developing suit silhouettes for the house of Enrico Isaia — renowned for its embrace of colour and bold pattern, and the signature ‘lucky’...- paul6001

Except to say that if you haven't heard it (as I hadn't until recently) listen to "The Sinking Of The Titanic" by Gavin Bryars. Brilliant. Moving. I don't have the adjectives.- paul6001

Should I?
To an Applebee's in Des Moines? I'm sorry. That wasn't nice. I'm not that much of a New York snob, My kids, on the other hand, who were born here, are beyond help. "That's why people around the world hate New Yorkers," I once told my 15-year old son after a particularly provincial remark. I...- paul6001

Attolini invented the Neapolitan suit. The whole point of which is to break with the reigning English tailoring of the time.- paul6001
