UNCOMFORTABLE SHOULDER? forward shoulders
Chris: Would specifically asking the maker (Southwick) to "straighten" the right shoulder of the base model perhaps better convey my need than requesting that they "shift" it? I've been wearing their Douglas model for roughly 30 years and have only recently had to start asking for tweaks as my...- oldpreppyguy

UNCOMFORTABLE SHOULDER? forward shoulders
I was pleased to see this thread resurrected as it addresses the primary problem I encounter in getting a better jacket fit. Unfortunately, however, I have had little success with both asking for the alteration on RTW and trying to accommodate it with MTM. With my last MTM, I was finally able...- oldpreppyguy

Rome shopping + restaurants
I think the street Wicky is referring to in his earlier post is Via Babuino - it runs from the bottom of the Spanish Steps to the Piazza de Popolo. Along with all of the great boutiques on Via Babuino (including a neat little optical shop), there are a couple of great, off-the-beaten-path...- oldpreppyguy

Ask me about Eyewear!
For the price, I'd probably go with Moscot. I've always been a big OP's fan (and own a few models) but am not as impressed with the newer, made in Italy frames - they just don't seem to warrant the premium price like the earlier, Japanese made versions. Also, the new Tart frames are not the...- oldpreppyguy

Ask me about Eyewear!
I think you'll find that the handful of Oliver Peoples frames that are (or were) made in Japan are of much higher quality than those made in Italy - but another Luxottica victim nonetheless. Also, I think the Depp frames are vintage Tart "Arnel"s - not to be confused with the current...- oldpreppyguy

Ask me about Eyewear!
Thanks C.C.! I actually never thought about asking them to "match tint." The last pair I had made - which didn't work out too well - I asked for something like "grey 5" after being shown basic color choices and tint levels. When I suggested that they didn't come out as dark as I had hoped I...- oldpreppyguy

Ask me about Eyewear!
C.C. - Sorry for not responding to your reply sooner. I guess a much easier (and much less cumbersome) way to pose my question is as follows: I want to have some rx lenses made for a pair of Persol frames and would like them to be as dark and thin as possible. Given my prescription, is there a...- oldpreppyguy

City Connection - FIrst, while I don't post much on SF, I am an avid reader of this thread and always look forward to your insightful and professional replies to the myriad of eyewear questions thrown at you - thank you for spending the time to help those of us who have no choice but to help pay...- oldpreppyguy

No longer obsessed with this watch?
You may be right about the guy buying the $6K Patek - maybe not to impress others as much as to be able to say to himself that he owns one (that is unless he is a true WIS and comes across a real steal where the vendor doesn't really know what he's selling), but I don't know about the Ferrari...- oldpreppyguy

Original Ray Ban Wayfarers
Actually there were a couple of different versions of the Bausch & Lomb Ray-Ban Wayfarer (made in U.S.A.) available in the '80s, only one of which had the logo on the temple if I correctly recall. The "classic" B&L model, which I believe is best "reproduced" by the...- oldpreppyguy
