Ask A Question, Get An Answer... - Post All Quick Questions Here (Classic menswear)
Agreed. It is quite a fun/unusual event for me so I want to wear something I feel good about, but at the same time it is a one off so cheap but well-fitting is where I will (probably/hopefully) end up.- ysc

Thanks for the quick response. Online it looks like you can only rent gowns and graduation gear from Ede these days although I am going to go into their City shop and find out for sure. Someone offline just mentioned a couple of good second hand places that specialise in formal wear in SW...- ysc

Where to buy White Tie (in London or online). I have to attend a white tie event in a little over a month. The options seem to be Ede & Ravenscroft where I am looking at over £1000 for the rig, which is just too much for something I am realistically not going to wear again in a decade, renting...- ysc

Any ideas on brands / sources for a cape / poncho like this? My girlfriend has announced she wants one and her birthday is coming up. My first thought was Pendelton, but they don't seem to have anything like that at the moment. Also might be tricky to get hold of in the UK. All suggestions...- ysc

A suitable winter boot
I have had a pair of the Herring Keswick for 3 or 4 years and frequently wear them to the office with jeans and a tweed jacket in bad weather. I treated them with water-proofing wax when I first bought them and have used them in snow and rain generally abused the hell out of them and they are...- ysc

Girlfriend's restraints
I have this problem to some extent. Mostly because my gf doesn't know that many people in London (where we live) and although she has been here for a while she was commuting long distance for a lot of that time and working in a very small company. She does have friends, but not many around, so...- ysc

Outfit with the most dynamic range (socially, economically, artistically)
I have recently had to cross a similar span at work, I sort of wear two different (figurative) hats. I find on a typical day I wear dark denim or some chinos with an ocbd and some suede boots. With the shirt un-tucked it is pretty casual. I have a navy blue cotton jacket that looks enough like...- ysc

Buying a Monocle
My gradfather wore (used?) a monocle although he eventually stopped because it became so unusual. Anyway I have a couple of his monocles, one has a sort of small metal frame projecting from the monocle itself (exactly like the one below, which google found for me) that means it stays in easily...- ysc

What shoes does Obama wear?
Your butler does not polish your cars. That would properly be done by one of your drivers, or if your staff is sufficiently large your mechanic. If you have only one domestic he is not your butler but your valet, he may polish your car. Whilst some butlers do do double duty as a...- ysc

Where to move in the UK?
I have never lived there, but I went to university in St Andrews about an hour away, so I spent a lot of time there and a lot of friends that lived there. My sister lives there. It is a lovely city. There is quite a lot going on for its size and location, but it is a fairly small city and...- ysc

Where to move in the UK?
^ London really is not that unfriendly. No worse than any big city really. I really don't think people are rude, certainly people don't stop and chat with random people in the street or on public transport, but that is just big cities. Also not dangerous. Lived in and around London for quite a...- ysc

Where to move in the UK?
Scotland is beautiful, the landscapes are like nothing in England, the weather is really terribly outside of the summer though, and the food in a lot of places is pretty bad (and I say that as someone who quite enjoys heavy british cooking and the occasional bit of haggis).- ysc

I don't know the average pricing of student accomodation in london, but I do know a bunch of people who were able to afford to live in the middle of London when they were living in halls, but then had to move out in the middle of no-where to be able to afford london when they were not in...- ysc

Really F'd Up Question
If you 'tell' it might not be too hard to work out it was you given your past history with the girl. That could blow back on you badly. Just based on your description in this thread you don't seem to be the kind of guy to be able to play the whole thing subtly. Steer well clear, look for...- ysc

Best Wellies
Another vote for aigle. My pair of parcours are amongst the most comfortable shoes (including slippers) I have ever owned. The better hunters are ok, although overpriced, the entry level ones are crap. Le chameau and dubarry are good. Any high quality rubber welly will want a little more care...- ysc

Things That Are Bothering You, Got You All Hibbeldy-Jibbeldy, or just downright pissed, RIGHT NOW!
He is not talking about what he has really. It dosn't seem to be bipolar. None of us knew he had a problem, beyond being a bit down, until fairly recently. It turns out he has been on the meds for a while and recently he has had suicidal urges and wanted to cut himself etc. because he has...- ysc

Things That Are Bothering You, Got You All Hibbeldy-Jibbeldy, or just downright pissed, RIGHT NOW!
One of my closest friends is suffering from terrible depression. The doctor put him on the wrong meds, and he started having suicidal ideation and all kinds of other crap so he checked himself into a hospital. They are putting him on new medicine now which hopefully will stabilise him, although...- ysc

Looking for a dinner jacket...
You seem them often enough at black tie does in the summer, particularly at events like Glyndebourne that are partly outside. They are in a minority, but not by so much that people would comment if you were to wear one. Of course English weather being what it is there is no guarantee you...- ysc

WAYWRN: Classic Menswear, Casual Style
Quarters refers to the bottom front of your jacket, although perhaps only on the forums. Like me you are pretty slim, you might find two button jackets, or at least jackets where there lapel rolls further down than on that one (three-role-twos etc) are more flattering. The jacket also looks a...- ysc
