    The State of Black Tie: Your Observations

    I believe that the QM2 is the only ship that does regular transatlantic crossings between NYC and Southampton. I fully expect to take a lot of photos of the experience, a selection of which shall be posted, and you and your lovely wife would certainly improve the style factor, greatly, of...

    The State of Black Tie: Your Observations

    For better or worse, I have the instincts of a magpie - I am always attracted to the shiny and colorful. During the pandemic, when stores were just reopening (some three and a half years ago), I started my retail relationship with The Persian Shop in NYC with the purchase of a pair of pale...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

    The trousers are too short, full stop, even if the leg openings are narrow enough to warrant "no break only" styling. There are things that a good tailor can do to lengthen the trousers without losing the cuff. I had a similar situation recently with a pair of trousers that had been shortened...

    The State of Black Tie: Your Observations

    I will be sailing on the Queen Mary 2, embarking this coming Sunday afternoon for Southampton. As is the custom with Cunard, there are two "gala" evenings, for which the passengers are strongly encouraged to dress in their finest. The evenings are themed - the first, next Monday evening, is...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

    The weather continues to be sunny and cool in NYC, and I am cycling through the last bits of the winter wardrobe before temperatures rise and make suit-wearing a task rather than a pleasure. I shall be walking a good deal this afternoon and evening, hence the three-piece ensemble. Suit &...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

    The weather in NYC is sunny but cool enough to warrant flannel. I've gone for something recently worn, such that there will be no question about its fit, as there was for me Tuesday. Otherwise, a mix of old and new, and things that haven't seen the light of day in a while (that happens a lot...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

    You should have saved this ensemble for tomorrow, when it will be cooler - otherwise, it looks fine.

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

    The weather in NYC is nigh about perfect for suit wearing - cool enough for wearing something winter weight without fear of sweating to death. I have indulged today in a bit of wardrobe Russian roulette - attempting to wear something which I've not worn in a while, with the chance that it will...
