    Anybody have experience with DapperFam?

    I just ran across this site tonight looking for hats. While I'm impressed with some of their hats, I find the shoes far more compelling. Just wondering whether anyone has any experience with this brand. https://www.dapperfam.com/

    The Italian Travel Thread

    While in Rome recently, we did a long day trip to Montepulciano. One of the surprises was a stop at the Tempio di San Biagio (St. Blaise), just outside the town. It's a small but stunning Renaissance church by Antonio da Sangallo, who influenced Michelangelo. Worth a stop if you're in that part...

    The Official Wine Thread

    Banfi's "Vigna Marrucheto" Brunello di Montalcino is a modern Brunello made in an international style (i.e., easier to drink when young) from a vineyard planted only in 2010. Very reasonably priced and excellent in quality.

    What's the best hotel you've ever stayed at . . . and why?

    Mine would have to be the five-star Hotel Marquis Faubourg St. Honoré in Paris. It's an all-suite hotel in the former townhouse of the Marquis de LaFayette, who fought with George Washington the the American Revolutionary War. Very close to the Madeleine church. Stunning decor by the Italian...

    The Italian Travel Thread

    We had a fabulous meal in early November at Enoteca La Torre at the Villa Laetitia hotel (owned by Anna Fendi). It's a Michelin two-star (not to be confused with the company's two other restaurants of the same name in Rome). This one is in the Vittoria district on the left bank of the Tiber...

    What are you drinking right now?

    Incredible value in white Burgundy. Had it a couple of weeks ago at a restaurant here in L.A. Best Chardonnay I've have in several years.

    Help identify this linen sport coat.

    Does anyone have any idea where this linen jacket comes from? I would love to get one just like it. Any ideas will be explored. Thanks in advance!

    Any experience with Soft Cloth?

    Soft Cloth (softcloth.com) seems to be relatively new Southern California brand that is now being carried by Nordstrom. Seems very promising, with nice fabrics and thoughtful design, although geared to a youth market. I discovered them while shopping online at Nordstrom for shirts and jackets...

    What are you drinking right now?

    Rare Liqueurs Taste Test On the left, Izarra (the yellow version), which was originally created in the Basque region of France in 1906. After a brand ownership change in 2018, it becoming more widely available, although I think not yet distributed in the U.S. This bottle came from London. More...

    best way to remove pit stains and collar yellowing?

    I think I may have posted this in another thread when I first discovered it, but check this out: I tried it on a couple of Sferra percale pillowcases and it worked like a charm. I now do this will all of my white teeshirts (my white dress shirts are sent out to a professional steam...

    Eton online ordering issue

    I've been trying to order the Eton White Poplin Shirt from their online site, but the ADD TO BAG button does not work. I have tried three different browsers and none of them works. I'm in the USA (Los Angeles). I tried contacting Eton via email four days ago but have had no response. Does...

    Favorite hotels in Paris?

    Grand Powers is on my short list, thanks. I love the 8th and the hotel looks wonderful. Hôtel d'Aubusson reminds me of a French provincial inn more than a Paris hotel, but it does have its charms. Thanks for the recommendations!

    Favorite hotels in Paris?

    I've considered the St. James but it seems to be undergoing a (much needed IMHO) redecoration currently. I'll definitely consider it once the refurbishment is complete. Pavillon de la Reine looks awesome -- thanks!

    What are you reading?

    “I believe that today more than ever a book should be sought after even if it has only one great page in it. We must search for fragments, splinters, toenails, anything that has ore in it, anything that is capable of resuscitating the body and the soul.” -- Henry Miller

    Favorite hotels in Paris?

    Thanks for the recommendation. It's quite a modern hotel. I prefer to stay at hotels in Hausmannian (or pre-Hausmannian) buildings in Paris. Thinking about trying the Monsieur George on my next visit: https://www.monsieurgeorge.com/

    Favorite hotels in Paris?

    Unfortunately, the Plaza Athénée and the Meurice in Paris are part of the Dorchester Collection, which is owned by the government of Brunei, where sharia law is practiced. I refuse to support brutal sharia Islamist regimes by staying at their hotels, no matter how brilliant. This includes the...

    Favorite hotels in Paris?

    I've been to Paris dozens of times and am always eager to try new hotels (as much as I like ones I've stayed at before). I've recently stayed at the Daniel, the San Régis, the Faubourg Marquis, and the Lancaster (photo below). Any recommendations for my next trip?

    What Movies Are You Watching Lately

    I live in the middle of downtown Hollywood, but last night I re-watched a European art film, Closely Watched Trains, the Czech New Wave film from 1966 that won Best Foreign Language Film at the 1968 Oscars. A brilliant comedy-drama that's available on YouTube in its entirety:

    How good is Spier and Mackay?

    I've ordered two shirts and one pair of pants from them OTR and they came within a week (Ontario, I would assume, to Los Angeles,). Very happy with the fit and the quality. I did have a small quibble about the buttonhole width on the shirts, which is about half a millimeter too small, making it...
