    British Gangster Movies

    Has anyone else seen Dead Man's Shoes? A violent revenge flick anchored by a haunting performance from Paddy Considine, who some are comparing to a young De Niro. A favourite of mine. Some frightening intensity from Considine in some scenes.

    what is cordovan?

    Ok, I know this is a newbie question. I've tried the search and wikipedia but I can't figure how to distinguish between cordovan and other types of leather. Why is cordovan so popular? A question that I have pondered at length. I have yet to come up with an answer. so I will view this...

    mall-brand or other cheap-ish suits

    How about borrowing a suit from a friend, or hiring one if such a thing is possible. I have myself had to resort to such measures in the past. Better that than a rushed, ill-advised purchase. Any members near this chap available to help out?

    Ask Krusty the Clown who his shoe supplier is. That should sort you out nicely.

    New bespoke shoe option in Northern Ireland

    I am reluctant to provide figures, as I would not want to damage someone's business by misquoting, but I seem to remember around £200-300 for the last and approx £500-600 for the shoes I think. I have invited the owner to have a look at this thread and answer any queries. Hopefully he will...

    New bespoke shoe option in Northern Ireland

    Carrying on from my advocacy of Smyth & Gibson of Belfast shirts recently, I thought I would make the members aware of a new bespoke shoemaker, also in Northern Ireland. http://www.robinsonsshoemakers.com/a...ns_repairs.asp Robinsons of Carrickfergus, a long established cobbler have expanded...

    A good white linen PS - and where to buy in Europe

    Why not consider a US based merchant? Our own Kent Wang has beautiful squares, he wont dig his arm in over shipping and if you are only ordering one or two items they will easily slip through customs avoiding import tax , VAT etc etc. I have often taken a chance with such things, and apart...

    Worst Rapper Ever

    ok, what would get you to become violent?

    ^^^ Whats your intention there? 1. Teach the guy a lesson? 2. Revenge for the dishonour? 3. Preserve someone's safety? While my first inclination might also be to sock the guy 1. Who is going to learn the lesson when you get arrested or get the **** kicked out of you. In his buddies' minds...

    Quick Funeral Help

    Rather morbidly, I own a number of 'funeral' ties, and even a black armband. Thankfully I have not had to use them recently. Personally I think solid gray suit, white shirt and a black tie is fine. I do wear a pocket hankie, either plain white or plain black.

    ok, what would get you to become violent?

    I was actuallly in a fist fight recently, of which I am not proud, but he was a bully type who did threaten me violence repeatedly, so I got in first to defend myself and I was quite severely mentally ill at the time, so it doesn't really count. (in terms of rational decision making) Best...

    New shirt option- Smyth & Gibson

    Dear members, I have just noticed that Smyth & Gibson, a shirtmakers who have only ever sold out of their boutique in Belfast have now gone 'online'. http://www.smythandgibson.com/ These shirts are beautiful, I have 2, although I would say they were both bought in sales. I'm poor. If you...

    Stuff Styleforvm overrates

    Can I get add a second vote for Conway Stewart. Just received my Silver Lava Duro back from their 'care' department, as it didn’t work from the day I got it and bits had since broken off. I sent it to them in the original, unnecessarily large presentation box in which it came on purchase (for...

    Stretching a Bowler

    I have just taken delivery of a Christy's bowler (wool felt, not fur) from ebay and sadly, despite ordering my normal hat size, it is just too snug for comfort. (This from a quick try on before I left the flat this morning) Now this is where the sage advice of Style Forum members comes in...
