    Loafers with a suit?

    Don't put words in my mouth. My point was you didn't express an opinion. You sat on the fence. There is a great deal of rubbish posted on this forum, but perhaps you too wish to 'blaze a similar trail'. This is becoming tiresome, I suspect for you too, so as you say good night.

    Loafers with a suit?

    1. I've expressed opinions, rather than sat on the fence, about stylistic matters. 2. I've clarified that monk strap shoes are not loafers. 3. I've indicated that, whatever views there may be about wearing loafers with suits, the conventional wisdom in matters of classic style is that...

    Loafers with a suit?

    No, just the sow's ear I feed to my dog. I don't subscribe to the 'it's all relative; all stylistic preferences are equally valid' BS. At least I express an opinion rather than say 'I'm not necessarily endorsing this, but this is what I pulled off the web' - how does that help anyone...

    Loafers with a suit?

    Sounds like the sort of defence a Big Tobacco lobbyist might advance. Seriously, how does posting pictures of douchebags help anybody?

    Out of interest, what swung you towards the IC rather than the Hase?

    What's the quality of the light with the IC? 'Harsh white' or 'warmer'? (I like the design. Just wondering whether in real life it is as 'stark' as it appears in the pictures.)

    That's splendid. Does the IC look a little too 'industrial'? There's a warmth in the Hase you posted that is rather appealing?

    Cool furniture, design objects and desiderata

    Based on the cr@p that is dealt to you in this thread, I sympathise. But a shame. Did you have a view on the grasshopper and the AJ? I too am in the market for a floor lamp.

    Loafers with a suit?

    Monk straps are not loafers (the picture is of penny loafers, which should never be worn with a suit). Monk straps are entirely appropriate with suits. (The old-school etiquette in the English legal profession is only QCs wear monkstraps.) Double monks are an abomination (but that is a...

    Card case (this in black): http://www.pickett.co.uk/flat-card-case.html Plus money clip. No 'Art Vanderlay' wallets here.

    What are you doing to them?! Or do you have a small rotation.

    Meh. The closest to the Grasshoppa seems to be a rip off, but happy to be corrected if I'm wrong on the timeline. B.
