    Saphir in Paris

    An update here... BHV has the products. But the men's store doesn't have the good supply. The good supply is in the main building, in the housewares section. Didn't think to look there, but of course when I am looking for laundry detergent to clean a collar I find the shoe polish instead.

    The Berluti shoe thread

    The September (?) 2013 cover of The Rake magazine features Alessandro Sartori on the cover. He is the artistic director of Berluti. The Rue de Sevres store in Paris has some gorgeous umbrellas for sale (hello to the rain in Paris). They are something over 500 euros.

    Any experience with Adolfo Dominguez?

    You're the first to comment on them, I'm the 2nd. Their website currently says they are not in the US. However I'm seeing some google entries mentioning Aventura mall, which is a sweet upscale mall on Miami Beach. I'm in Paris right now and just went into their store here. It might be...

    Up for sale via ebay (starting at $49) are two NWOT J. Press Shaggy Dog Sweaters. I'm moving to a warm climate (hot, damn!) and can not use the sweaters. They are size medium... but I think they work for both a medium and large. Blue is here...

    Pre-Interview Dinner Dilemma

    Geez... nobody has given the right answer, or asked the appropriate questions. What is the venue? Is it a 5-star restaurant? Is it the basement of the senior partner's house? Unlike many here, I've hired and fired several people. For everything from minimum wage to $200K positions...

    Fashions night out NYC

    I agree with Mr. Booth. I was up at the Bergdorf area last year... and didn't think it was worth my time. I might go to the Ralph Lauren mansion just to see if anything is going on... then later walk through Soho and/or Bleecker Street. There's a pair of cucinelli pants I want. People...

    Burberry Prorsum Aumtum/Winter 2012

    Not sure why the OP edited out most of the photos, leaving only two. Strange. But for Burberry fans, I was in a store today and checked out the coat I liked (grey/white checked houndstooth long coat with two rows of buttons (double breasted look) on the front. Very nice coat, but with a...

    Burberry Prorsum Aumtum/Winter 2012

    If they make a version of the long grey/houndstooth (?) coat that isn't double breasted with buttons I might get one. It's photo #14 I believe. The stuff with the stripe on the bottom looks terrible. Some of their recent high end stuff is great. Both men's and women's.
