Seems we are both Fresco-who**s. I am a finance and econ academic. I do collect rare math books (Bernoulli, Leibniz, Euler and Newton mostly) so it is more like I have math-envy. You and @An Acute Style are inspirations...

Very interesting, we share again the same suit fabrics.... ;)
Your username suggests, that you are a mathematician too.
The choice of fabrics seems to be related to our profession :p.

The weather in NYC today is warm, but with lower humidity, a boon, as this evening, we are going out to dinner with a friend from out of town, here on business, who wanted to have a civilized meal, and to dress accordingly. Today's suit is the perfect backdrop to almost any combination of shirt and tie - I was in the mood for a striped shirt, and I am nearly always in the mood for Charvet.

Suit - Paul Stuart/Phineas Cole
Shirt - Chester Barrie, via Austin Reed (alas, both now defunct)
Tie - Charvet
Braces & shoes - Paul Stuart house brand
Cufflinks - The Persian Shop, NYC
Pocket square - no name brand

You said Austin reeds defunct? I saw something at men’s warehouse the other day by Austin reed. Is that one of those situations where the name was bought and used by someone else with no ties to the original product similar to the Elgin watch company?

The name brand Austin Reed for the US was bought, I believe, at some point, by Hart Schaffner Marx, and yes, in the US, I am sure that there are goods labeled "Austin Reed" that have nothing to do with the London store, which went out of business several years ago. Chester Barrie was a Savile Row tailor at one point, then developed a ready-to-wear line, but then all of it went belly up, as such things can.
