    Pocket square with chore jacket?

    I am really liking the Mont St Michel French chore or work jackets, because the moleskin fabric is extremely comfortable and wearable on both a hot summer and cooler spring day, and it strikes me as slightly tailored looking compared to pure work jackets. Has anyone tried wearing pocket...

    Seraphin Leather Jackets - Appreciation Thread

    Seraphin's current "classic" model has a knit collar with matching knit/elasticated waistband and wristbands. It has two diagonal pockets on each side of the belly, with zippers, plus the central zip. All three zippers have a ring at the end of the zipper. The boss said the elastic waistband is...

    Seraphin was a religious experience and a lesson in being reminded to keep your jacket choices as simple and therefore as elegant as possible

    Paris thread

    How many French chore jackets might one own and use? I'm toying with the idea of buying multiple Mont St Michel jackets, same style, different colors. Part of me thinks I should get at least one light and one dark color. Logically, I should get a basic color like black, dark brown or navy, but...

    Linen Safari Jacket

    Excellent idea. Please post pics in the field.

    Paris thread

    Okay I really, really like this Mont St Michel jacket. My friends say I am more elegant than rugged, so the aesthetic fits. The fabric is great, it gives you the warmth of a light jacket, but is breathable and does not feel hot when the sun suddenly beats down on a cool spring day. Really a...

    by the way the Mont St Michel does not look any more posh than a Uniqlo store, what do you mean?

    Linen Safari Jacket

    I'm saying we should stop saying safari jacket as the term has become meaningless, not that they do not pair formally

    I am even more curious about this trend for Carhartt as French chore jackets look far more hipster and artiste!

    Linen Safari Jacket

    the term "safari jacket" is increasingly useless for facilitating discussion if people post it with neckties

    Paris thread

    Found the Paris Mont St Michel store in Marais. Absolutely no comparison between Le Laboureur (EUR110) and Mont St Michel (EUR245). Much more comfortable material that is not polycotton, refined product, classic fits, vibrant colors. People were walking in with a clear intent to buy and everyone...

    How to pack for transition weather (April, 10-25 degrees Celsius)

    "sacrifice style..." I have long decided not to when traveling to the extent possible! how do you layer henleys? my issue is, many things other than a cotton turtleneck or button down shirt look horrible with a v-neck cashmere sweater

    How to pack for transition weather (April, 10-25 degrees Celsius)

    How does one pack for transition weather (say April, 10-25 degrees Celsius)? This is roughly France this past month, with a cold spell, a week of hot and sunny weather, and mistral wind in the south. More importantly what items are stylish and minimize ironing? And save some room for a change of...
