    For me this is easy. Get notch lapels on SB business suits and peak lapels on DB business suits. If you are looking at non-business suits, stay with peak lapels for DB suits but you can opt for either lapel for SB suits. It you opt for nonbusiness SBPL then be certain to get it one button.

    Un-official Luca Avitabile Napoli Shirt Thread

    I own about 20 LA shirts with the first order being about ten years ago. I have always placed my orders from Naples. I have found him to be very responsive and accommodating. With that written, his assistant (Francesca) is another matter. i have found her responses inconsistent and...

    Penny Loafer question

    All Alden LHS are not the same as they can be made on a variety of lasts. I’m an easy fit and the Van last does the job. But a buddy is not an easy fit because of his instep and he swears by the modified last. Yep, that’s the name: the modified last.

    I have three suits made from it that I wear around this time of the year. The traditional tan in a plain weave. And two herringbone. One in blue and the other in green. They are the obverse sides of the same fabric.

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    You’re not a big fan of blazers, correct? I find them indispensable. In fact, I admit to going overboard. I have a summer one in the requisite Minnis fresco mockleno. A shoulder season one from Taylor and Lodge’s 6ply 520g. A winter flannel one (that I will soon replace) from RLPL. A completely...

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    I sent the Nantucket Red cloth to my Neapolitan tailor about six years ago to have it made into an odd jacket. I washed it twice before sending it. I have yet to clean it but I still get pink dots if I wear light colored pents or shorts with it.

    The Watch Appreciation Thread - Part two (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger LeCoultre,

    I insured everything through Hodinkee after I had my Batman stolen. I’ll be sure to give them a call to discuss the possible discount. Thanks for bringing this to the thread’s attention.

    The Watch Appreciation Thread - Part two (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger LeCoultre,

    As you imply, the home safe is the way to go. I just haven‘t gotten around to it. Part of my lax approach to buying a safe is that I drive directly by the bank on my way to work. They know me and I can be in and out in five minutes.

    The Overcoat Thread

    I think that you’re probably right about the illegality but I consider some legal things to be unethical while some illegal things are ethical.

    The Overcoat Thread

    Less ethically challenging but not completely so. Think ivory sales. I‘m happy with my cotton version as it serves its purpose well.

    Those PP breguet are incredible. If I were limited to one watch, the 5196P would be it. But my choice was the aforementioned 5170g.
