    Please critique this shirt & tie (and offer alternatives?)

    Rule number 1 Never use black shirts with ties. +1 I own a similar shirt and the only decent combination I found so far is with a medium blue embroidered Roda tie. But even this look is only sufficient in my eyes, so I just wear this shirt tieless (and even so, non that often!)

    Thickness of Duchamp silk pocket squares?

    Thanks to all for your replies and in particular StephenStyle for this beatiful pocket square (I actually bought from him, without knowing he was a SF member). Surely recommended!

    What do you think about chalk stripe suits?

    Will posted a rockin' combo today that's anchored by a solid shirt. I go back and forth...sometimes, I like everything patterned, sometimes not. It tends to run in seasonal phases. - B Wonderful combo! The vest in particular. I would have preferred another colour in PS, but that's only my...

    Thickness of Duchamp silk pocket squares?

    Hello to everyone, I just received from eBay a beatiful silk Duchamp PS. My concern is about its thickness. Are they usually so? My only two other PS's are by Etro (very thin silk) and Kent Wang (but it's a linen). Well, this Duchamp is even thickier than KW's linen! Also, do you think that...

    dior homme jacket or coat?? opinion needed!

    The jacket is wonderful, except for the cuffs! And I think 1400$ is a very good price for DH, anyway. (I bought a military style jacket from Gucci in 2003, quite similar to this one, and paid 1290€ for it, that is just under 2K$)

    How to spot a fake FERRAGAMO tie

    With all these fakes, it makes me wonder whether the original is even desirable or worth purchasing. For higher value items that require substantial technical expertise, I don't see fakes. I've never heard of a fake Rolls Royce, Bentley, Porsche, etc. However, when it comes to a length of silk...

    How to spot a fake FERRAGAMO tie

    Not a Ferragamo, but what do you think of this Drake's? Is it legit? Because I would like to buy a couple of these ones http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

    What do you think about chalk stripe suits?

    brown flannel is superb and a bit less commonly seen +1 Especially a lighter brown

    Advice seeked: Lobb white shoes

    Thanks for your opinions. I contacted the seller and if everything goes smooth, I will surely post fit pics in the WAYWRN thread (a debut!)

    Help me scarf for charcoal suit and overcoat

    The one outside of Pescara for sure but I guess the other two in Italy carry basically the same stock. Thank you, I'll check it soon

    10 Movies everyone should own.

    I would second most of these. Some of the teeny shite forwarded previously as suggestions is laughable. I couldn't agree more. Maybe our 'good taste' is dependent on being both from Italy?

    Recent Sartorialist Looks

    As bad as their outfits are, and I am hoping against hope that they were forced to dress this way to sell something, their shoes are literally vomit inducing. TheSart should be forced to give up his camera for this. That would be my hope, as well, but I don't know why, but I think we're...

    Advice seeked: Lobb white shoes

    Thanks for the reply, I was going to consider these as summer shoes myself. BTW, I know the brand, but never had a chance to try one pair on. So, what is your impression on quality? If you have some C&J, how would you compare to them? Thanks again

    Help me scarf for charcoal suit and overcoat

    I don't where you are but a few months back the Zegna outlet here in Italy had scarves for 25Euros. Lots of selection Oct when I was looking. What Zegna outlet? Thanks

    10 Movies everyone should own.

    Well, its pretty impossible to restrain it to 10 movies, I'll try by not having more than one movie per director! Robert Bresson - Au hazard Balthazar Yasujiro Ozu - Tokyo Story Federico Fellini - 8 1/2 Wong Kar Wai - In the mood for love Ingmar Bergman - Persona C.T. Dreyer - The passion of...

    Help me scarf for charcoal suit and overcoat

    I'm looking for a scarf (or two) to wear with a charcoal suit and overcoat (Zegna). Shirt either plain white or blue and plain tie probablly. I'm looking for the tie and scarf to give some zing to an otherwise sombre colour scheme but nothing over the top as it's a business/work context...

    Velvet shoes, I couldn't help it

    err.. kind of the reverse. If you are looking for a 50+ benefactor, show up looking dandy sans wedding ring at any of the above, especially the first. So, I must have them!

    Shopping in Rome, Florence?

    Found the address of the Borrelli outlet -> Via dei Gracchi 56C (its at a corner). About 5 - 10 minute walk from the Vatican. Thanks for the address. I used to live in that neighborhood (Prati) a couple of years ago, but I had never noticed it. AFAYK, do they sell ties and pockets squares?

    Advice seeked: Lobb white shoes

    Hello to everyone! I saw a beatiful pair of white double monk shoes from Lobb on B&S, incredibly in my size. I would like to know your opinion whether it would be wise to buy them. Would I get with the double monks the same effect the guy in the photo below gets with his shoes? (I mean the...
