    What TV Series Are You Streaming Lately?

    Can't believe I'm just getting around to watching Band of Brothers originally released in 2001. This WWII series is impressive with the way the (true) story is crafted, including brief interviews with actual soldiers, the change in focus on people and situations in each episode, scenery and...

    The Ultimate Rug and Carpet Thread

    We had this 1890's Navajo blanket recently installed. It came from Shiprock Santa Fe. Our home is almost entirely neutral so the red and orange are a wonderful pop of color. We had a smaller, similar one but we wanted something larger and were delighted to find this one. As with all of our...

    The Desert Boot and Chukka appreciation/review thread

    I see that Crockett & Jones has a new chukka called the Bibury. It has a rubber sole. Hard to tell for sure from the photos but it looks like a somewhat softer rubber sole which would interest me for added comfort. Has anyone tried it? If so, how was it?

    I think a black or earthtone velvet jacket can be worn during the daytime with jeans and suede loafers for a nice casual "city" look or for travel. IMO, jewel tone colors are best for more formal looks such as grey flannels and evening events so yes, those would be more limited.

    This reminds me of the Lucian Barbera quote, " Europeans wear trousers too short, Americans too long. I like to wear mine Mid- Atlantic length"

    JM Weston appreciation thread

    Looked at Mr Porter yesterday for Weston 180's. I noticed one of the new 180's has different sizing instructions than the other 180's. I ran into this last Fall in France at the main Weston store in Paris. The newly released Taupe suede 180's fit very different than the dark suede 180's I had...

    Official Guitar, Amp, Pedals, and Gear Thread

    I'm just not playing my guitars much any more. I sold my 1963 Martin 0-18 recently. Next to go will be this 1956 ES-5 Switchmaster

    To each his own. I prefer buttoned pleated pockets. Still on the fence about the cuffs.

    Interesting to hear that Hermes uses Belvest. That is a brand that you rarely see around better US menswear retailers. I wonder why?

    Sport Coat Fit Check

    It is too tight and doesn't look comfortable. Hopefully you can get a refund.

    Which shade of navy/blue for a "not-boring" versatile suit?

    I would highly recommend Ring Jacket navy suits sold at The Armoury. They are in the $1,600-$1,800 price range and the quality is excellent. They also have a variety of navy fabric options. I think you'll find their cut to be rather classic, not skinny/tight or baggy. The Armoury also makes...
