    I really don't post here, but since I saw references to L&S, for what it's worth that's where I've been taking everything for the past 4-5 years and I've been very happy. Probably not the cheapest, but very reliable, and they seem to be knowledgeable. I've taken in a 70's era Tommy Nutter...

    I've been wondering about this, since when I visited an Hermes store last summer I was surprised to see the "HERMES - PARIS" label on printed ties. I wondered if there'd been a change. Or something else was going on, I really don't know...
