    UNI/FORM (UNIFORM LA)- Official Affiliate Thread

    Does anyone have the full zip? I really like the cypress color but am wondering if the dropped shoulders affect mobility or anything, and would love to hear from anyone who has one.

    Shawl Collar: Stemkeeper with no Buttonhole?

    Welcome to the forum! I'd never heard of such a thing (loop w/o buttonhole), but the AAAC link you sent has a post by member @A Harris, who knows his stuff. He wrote there: And that sounds right to me. But you might get more answers if you posted here...

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    Good question! Some of us (like @Mr. Six, iirc), have long been looking for a natural or oatmeal linen-like fresco or tropical wool -- ideally with some subtle heathering or mottling, just like a natural linen would have. I'd actually prefer a washable wool/poly one for tropical travel. Luxire...

    Is gabardine considered a flannel?

    No, and Derek wasn't claiming it was. He said worsteds are a type of flannel, not "just" a type of flannel, as you wrote. Iow, he wasn't claiming that all worsteds are flannels. After saying there are two types of flannels, worsted and woolen, he went on to explain worsted fabrics and...

    Edward Green Appreciation: Pictures, Info, and Where to Buy

    @DWFII used to say that cracks like that are usually caused by small, abrasive particles of glass and stone that settle into cracks and pores. So the key to prevention is to brush shoes after wearing, before applying any liquids/creams, since those would push the particles deeper into the...

    1970s seems late to me. Civil rights march pics from the 60s show ties at the belt.

    Are any of these old silk ties worth keeping ?

    They're all fine imo, but if you haven't worn them in 10-15 years and probably won't, then it may be a good idea to give them away. Personally, my least favorite is #7, if it's a very smooth, shiny satin, which it looks like. 8 and 15 would be next to go imo, then 6 and 4 in the first set. I...

    Pitti Uomo 105 - the pictures, the styles

    ^Yes, it's true that some vendors don't allow pic, but quite a few do. Years ago, I posted a thread with tons of pics from Pitti including lots of vendor pics, plus random shots of people that show what you mentioned about how most people dress pretty plain and casual, like t-shirts and jeans...

    Stylish clothes for travel?

    I'd go with Rothy's men's city slip on: https://rothys.com/products/the-mens-city-slip-on-sneaker-white Great for walking, very durable, and comfortable with or without socks. You might want to replace the insole with something with arch support though. They used to have them in navy and...

    Motorcycles

    Does anyone here have any experience with lithium batteries? This would be for city bike, ridden ~5 miles a day round trip for commutes, maybe once a week for a 45 min ride, parked on the street, with no access to an outlet for a battery tender. Not ideal conditions for lead acid batteries...

    The unofficial NMWA Buy/Sell Thread (a.k.a. second chance thread)

    The first one's been claimed, but the second is still available. The mix of colors is really great for fall: I'll also include for free the navy/maroon wool knit tie here. Edit: Second's gone too.

    The unofficial NMWA Buy/Sell Thread (a.k.a. second chance thread)

    Two of those legendary Drakes wool/silk, 16.5" pocket squares for sale. Both purchased from NMWA, who called them,"Green, copper and purple Mughal print wool/silk square" and "Brown, rust and blue Dragon print wool/silk square." Maybe used once or twice each, but wrinkled from being stored...

    Ties: Charvet, Hober, Dormeuil, etc.

    Doing a little closet cleaning and would like to find good homes for these five great but neglected ties. They were all purchased about 12 years ago, but only worn maybe 1-2 times each. Measurements were taken while flat, but they'll stretch when vertical. All prices are shipped CONUS. Take...

    Quintessential Knit Ties: Comprehensive Discussion & Appreciation

    Lands End used to sell extra-long knit ties. They don't seem to now, but I'll bet you could find them on eBay, etc. They may not have been labeled long, but they were over 65".

    ٭٭٭ No Man Walks Alone - Official Affiliate Thread ٭٭٭ (a.k.a. I shouldn't have slept on it)

    Just noticed there's a bunch of Inis Meain linen polos on sale. Loving my Shannon one: Mine is more of a neutral, deep sky blue than the pics on the NMWA site, which seem more aqua/greenish -- and look very nice too, imo. For anyone wondering about sizing, this is a L after 2-3 wears and...
