    Wing Collar and Necktie Combination

    The combination of a wing collar and four in hand necktie seemed incredibly popular before the 1920s and was even worn by some traditionalists into the 1960s. Despite such a common look, there is very limited information on it online except for fashion sites describing what a faux pas it is! I...

    Wearing double detachable collars with ties

    I'm part of the minority that still wears a wing collar and necktie as daily wear, but occasionally I'll wear one of the double round collars with a necktie (the Darcy collar exactly) and I did encounter the exact problem. I attempted the paperclip method but the collar seemed too tight to move...

    The Shortwave Radio Thread.

    I use a more contemporary shortwave receiver, the Tecsun PL-660, which is always perched next to me on my desk. Presently I am listening to Radio Havana Cuba on 6000 kHz, Radio Romania International and the BBC World Service are two other favorites of mine. I have heard a pirate station on...

    Where can I attain traditional, fuller cut dress pants?

    Hello all, I don't post here that much but I often check into this site. I own about 25 suits, almost all of them are wide lapel, longer jacket suits, with pleated, creased and cuffed pants, many of them roomier. I also have many pairs of dress pants which I wear when I'm not wearing a suit, I...

    Use of cufflinks - When to...and when not to. A question.

    I wear my French Cuff shirts with a jacket most of the time, always with a tie and dress pants of course. The least I've ever worn it with was probably just the dress shirt, dress pants and a tie, and that was most likely because I removed the jacket. However, see how the cuffs work with...

    What Was The Last Radio Program You Heard?

    I do most of, if not all my radio listening on Shortwave, I just enjoy the acoustics of the broadcasts as well as the content offered from various international broadcasters. Today I just finished listening to the BBC World Service, sometimes I'll listen to the English Services of Radio Romania...

    Pants - Pleated or Flat

    My pants usually have to meet a certain criteria, they have to be pleated, creased and cuffed and should be a bit roomier/baggier. It's just a style I really like, and it's all that I wear, by now I must have accumulated about 20 pairs of pants like that.

    What are you wearing today??

    Just a few recent pictures from a trip to Philadelphia. Nothing special, just a vest and tie set, black overcoat, pattern scarf. I would include a link to my recently published reviews, in which I am dressed with different outfits, but I don't really wish to post videos here. I suppose I can...

    What are you wearing today??

    Here is a selection of pictures which I intended to upload earlier, they are from a recent trip of mine to Hawaii. Due to high temperatures and the extreme casual atmosphere, I wore no suits so these pictures show me, pretty much as casual as it gets. (Of course, click on the pictures for...

    What are you wearing today??

    Hello all, recently I said that I might post some screenshots from my reviews, allow me to elaborate on that. I don't have a camera in my possession, and I do not have, nor do I intend on attaining a smartphone any time soon so obviously getting pictures of my attire would be difficult to say...

    What are you wearing today??

    Hello all, it was a bit warm today so I did not wear the jacket today. Unfortunately I still do not have a decent camera so I cannot regularly photograph my outfits. I may on occasion post a screenshot from my reviews, which I film regularly.

    What are you wearing today??

    Thank you, the wingtip collar and necktie combination is a classic combination that has been forgotten by many. I have two wingtip collars in my possession, and a round collar. I'll usually break out one of those collars at least once a week. I've seen very few people sporting this look, and...

    Hello all, it was snowing today here in New York so I did not venture outside but that did not prevent me from wearing my usual attire.

    What are you wearing today??

    Very nice! I myself am a fan of that vintage Edwardian look. As a matter of fact, I'm wearing a wing collar as we speak. I hope to get up pictures of my ensemble as well as yesterdays suit as well. Merry Christmas everyone!

    What are you wearing today??

    Hello all, I had an account here back in 2011 however I decided to create a new account last night. I have lurked on these forums for a while, and I must compliment everyone in this thread for such outstanding attire. I myself never leave the house without a tie on, and I have a wide range of...
