What goes through your head when ...
Just my opinion... Honestly, I do not feel like picking on anyone for not paying too much attention to clothing. People writing on this forum have a very marked interest in fashion, which it is good for us but it does not necessarily has to be the same for the rest of mankind. Neither it makes...- Sinbad

Fatto a mano vs. lavorate a mano vs lavarazione
"Fatto a mano" means literally "hand made". "Lavorato a mano" means "worked by hand", which I guess can be interpreted as "finished off by hand". "Lavorazione a mano" means more or less the same. "Lavorazione" is the...- Sinbad

Young man...have you no shame?
I find it rather hilarious to be defined as an old racist by someone who ingnores my gender, race, age. Besides, some members should get to understand that verbal aggression is often a sign of lack of ideas and therefore should be avoided. About my quote: I used the term "most" and not...- Sinbad

Young man...have you no shame?
Valmont (and others) Sorry but I believe you are mixing up personal freedom and manners. Personal freedom allows a person to do, think, say anything that will have consequences on no others than the subject. Manners come into the picture when we have to interact with other individuals and they...- Sinbad

Young man...have you no shame?
Well, I suppose it is the role for the older citizens to provide guidance for younger generations. This happens in any society, from the african village to NYC. Besides, the social mores of younger generations are not spontaneous but they are provided to them by the society itself, or do you...- Sinbad

Skinny ties
I agree with acole. The width of the tie should be proportional to that of the lapels, which ranges between 8,5 and 10,5 cm and should be proportional to the built of one´s body. The "classic" width for ties is 9 cm, although from 20 years or so the most common size is about 10 cm...- Sinbad

Socks for jeans
I think that not using socks at all is not really hygienic. I´ve been wearing the low cut ankle socks myself but I must say that I´ve noticed a tendency to laugh in ladies, at the sight of the above mentioned ankle socks (or at least, I like to think that the laughs were due to my socks...).- Sinbad

Socks for jeans
We may be terribly traditionalist, but in Europe the use of white athletic socks is, as a matter of fact, limited to athletic use. Anyone over the age of 12, wearing white athletic socks with jeans, would be immediately identified as a person with not too much taste or as... an american tourist...- Sinbad

European style
Well, being an european myself I can just agree with the advice given to you by LA guy. To say Europe is a bit too general: while in Italy the sight of short socks would make women run for dear life, the same short socks seem to be the standard all across norther europe. Just take a minimal...- Sinbad

Finding inexpensive seven-folds
I don´t know about that. What I know is that many (Trump among others) have tried to convince the Marinella family to expand the businness and open shops in other parts of the world. To my knowledge, nobody has succeeded so far. There is a sort of tradition for all the most rich and powerful...- Sinbad

Finding inexpensive seven-folds
Hi all. I´m new to this interesting forum but nontheless I hope I can offer my modest opinion. I´ve spent the first 30 years of my life in Italy and I can tell that Kiton is not recognized as the best ties maker of Italy. A brand you may want to try is Marinella from Naples. My 2 cents- Sinbad
