Okay, that's a relief. Oh...wait....D'oh!

 

[Geoff Gander]

Of course, that wasn't at all intentional. Are you selling right now, gdl, by any chance?

 

[hmmurdock]

Been lurking here for a good long while. Excellent site. And with that post now I can buy here too...god help me.

OK Bris, thanks to you we have moran noobs like Aigertix clogging up the front page with every question that leaps into their minds and posts like this:

This is clearly false. How many english people that wear cordings have a 32 waist? I am sure they don't even bother making them in that size. Now if you stated- a chinese tourist says: 'll take those claret trousers in a 32, I'm in a rush'. - I can believe that both on the size, colour and the rush parts. Anyway country gent clothing are mostly for Tory, Daily Telegraph-reading evil old people. So I hope the Chinese buy them out

By the way I am not happy with my new C&J Wigmores. They seem too flimsy and as someone said -i think- in the end the 360 last is not flatering for someone on 10.5 like me. too slim I have a pair of Cleverley badged handgrade C&J Weymouths courtesy of Ede&Ros clearing as they dropped cleverley to go for C&J when some venture between them did not go through recently- despite the fact that they are all C&Js anyway- which i have not yet tried. They seem to be the true article. But from this experience I venture saying non-handgrade C&J << good old basic churchs On the issue of H&K etc I think the pyjamas on the windows scare the chinese away- smells of communism- they sure as hell scare me since I am not 60 yet It seems H&K, H&H make most of their money from pyjamas since they occupy most of the window space H&K, T&A fetishists should admit that quality aside the most common shirts there look totally out of this time. Also T&A prices are probably driven by the need to pay 10 people to do nothing 85% of the time (almost empty shop), and annoy the hell out of you on the remaining 15% By the way if you want a nice bespoke shirt for a reasonable price drop by italy-spain-port find a nice tailor and u will be doing great. In Italy most discerning (love the word) people have their own local tailor. In UK the situation is like that of coffee. Want an espresso go to Starbucks or Costa etc. In some countries you go to the local coffee shop and get what u really want Ps-I am pleased to accept any prizes, idiot of the year, etc from SF members. I will cherish them for what they are worth -no more, no less

Just joined today after lurking for some time. Already received some good advice about purchasing suits in Melbourne from a previous thread. Thinking about going MTM Zegna for my wedding gear.

 

[UberDyologzz]

Lurked for a year or two [or four], joined... And went back to lurking.

Maybe I'll start posting after I build my wardrobe to at least a decent size... So three days after I'm dead, or thereabouts.

I will repeat my post on Dumb Thread here:

My crystal ball tells me someone named Thug Animal will join and will rack up 500 posts within a month.

It's because of this site that i now wear RLBL on the outside and AE on the bottom with similar caliber in the middle

Cheers!

Your post, while clearly well thought out, was way too weird and broad, especially since we have no idea what you look like, etc. Either make it really specific ("What do you think of this tux shirt with this tux?") or really really broad ("What type of shirt to wear with this tux?")
