    Evelyn Waugh BEAU BRUMMELLS on £60 A YEAR.

    This reads like advice I would love to follow... I seem to recall that Waugh was known (and possibly slightly looked-down upon in some circles) for having his country suits made up in cloths popular with officers of the horse guards for the overcoats, so it sounds as though he practiced what he...

    Seeking specific suspenders

    They will also happy vary the adjuster colour to suit you and also the back treatment (e.g. these boxcloth braces will have an X back, whilst their barathea range typically have a Y back) on request and typically at no extra cost - just drop them an e-mail.

    Detachable Collars in NYC

    I think that there are probably about half a dozen laundries in the UK which can properly launder a detachable collar, with Barker's, followed by Blossom & Browne, being the best known. Barkers certainly offers an international postal service and I am sure that most of the others would consider...

    trying to shop for a suit in london now

    As mentioned above you might try T.M. Lewin (although I notice that on their website they only go down to 36" regular, their shops might be able to do better.) The suits look quite nice to my eye and range from £179-199. I went in on Saturday to my local branch to look at the shirts and...

    Very nice; as a fellow 39" chest, I covet....

    Wingtips with cords?

    As has been said above, provided there is not a wild disbalance in scale/presentation between the two (i.e. a very dainty shoe with very thick cords), definitely.

    I love this sketch!

    White Flannel?

    Very handsome, I think they knock mine (which I still love!) into a cocked hat:

    what are the rules on mismatching vests

    Personally, I would eschew striped suits for evening wear entirely, if avoidable. I would also recommend that any waistcoat be of a dark shade since, as described above, the classic light coloured odd waistcoats are daywear items. I have a purple lapelled waistcoat in heavy linen by Hackett...

    Summer time hats?

    I'm sure I recall reading somewhere that - at least for a time - the signature hat for the Capone mob was a pearl grey homburg with a narrow black band, as that was the style that their chief favoured.

    What if you found out that noone else cares?

    No, no, no, they have to be wearing the full monty; Breanish tweed or fresco, gauntlets, balmoral boots, maybe an inverness, monocle etc... And yet I'm sure if you got to know me we'd get on really well.

    Replacement hanger for 38" chest suit

    You could also try your local IKEA - their suit hangers are quite broad and well priced at around £1ea.

    court wer

    If there is any chance that you will be drawn to the court's attention I would certainly recommend a suit, the simpler and plainer the better (a dark pinstripe perhaps, 2 or 3 button, notched lapel) worn with a white shirt (double cuffs or not according to your preference, but simple cufflinks...

    Do the AA/Esky images influence you at all?

    Yes, although I try not to be a copyist (indeed haven't the resources to be) I do take great inspiration from what those illustrated wear and how they do so, beachwear excepted!

    Academics and formalwear

    It probably depends upon institution, subject and personal inclination in many ways; whilst many of the lecturers I remember at Durham (UK, not Duke) lectured and delivered their tutorials dressed fairly casually, one of the best dressed men I know lectures in economics there, and shares one...

    Lapel Button-hole Style??

    In which case I shall possess my soul in patience.

    Lapel Button-hole Style??

    Is this a special test (which I have obviously already failed....) because people seem to be discussing three pictures, and I can only see two?
