    I bought a very lightly used pair of Goral Mellor II in UK 10 in brown Horween that are slightly small for me - if anyone is interested.

    The State of Black Tie: Your Observations

    The jacket I just ordered from the HK tailor is HC. I went with a plain black wool from a VBC subsidiary (From what I understand good quality, but not premium). I’m probably going to wear this 2 to 3 times a year at most. It’s unlikely to be washed and laundered so often that I develop issues...

    The State of Black Tie: Your Observations

    Seeing the tailor tomorrow for a DJ. I was torn between peak and shawl but I just don’t love peak. I tried on my wedding suit after it was altered and I remembered how much I liked it and how well made it seemed (to me at least, no doubt those with a more trained eye would find fault!), and that...

    The State of Black Tie: Your Observations

    If I decided to try H&C I would go to their shop, which is easy. And then I’d probably see how the classic looked.

    The State of Black Tie: Your Observations

    Same re belt loops, but they have an option with side adjusters. I looked at Oliver Brown but it would be cheaper to get bespoke from the HK tailor

    The State of Black Tie: Your Observations

    Of course! But some evening events start when the sun is still up (especially in summer).

    The State of Black Tie: Your Observations

    Thanks. I did think of that, but as I understand it ivory should only be worn if the event starts before the sun has set (super formal, I know). The other alternatives were going for a coloured or patterned jacket, neither of which appeal. My wedding suit (coming up to 16 years old...) was made...
