    Typewriter ribbons.

    Hello all, not entirely sure where to put this thread. I just bought a beautiful antique typewriter from a charity shop (no camera or I'd put up pics). There is still some ink left on the ribbon, but do I have to buy new ones, or just add ink to the ribbon? Being raised in the modern era, I...

    JFK and the death of the hat

    Whilst wandering in a book shop today, I noticed a book with that same title! Apparently, it was all due to his hair forming part of his charisma, which a hat would have messed up. And that solves the mystery of the decline of the hat. Im sort of annoyed with myself for not buying that book...

    Trouser colours?

    Just wondering here, how outlandish do people go when it comes to trouser colours? I'll admit to owning a pair or purple cords. Anyone else got anything?

    Savile Row gives way to dress-down Friday..

    ...was the title of an article in Wednesday's copy of The Times. I was unable to find thed online version, so have provided a few quotes of an article I am sure many of the gentlemen here will agree with. "Do appearences count any more in public life? The formality and elegance so often...

    Bye guys

    I'm off for pasture news, to get my BA in History and German, in the sunny climes of South Yorkshire.

    Black hat, blue suit?

    Whilst waiting out on the purchase of another hat in a different colour, I was wondering if any FLers could let me know if this combination would be acceptable? Also a purple tie with a blue suit?

    Tailors in London

    Aside from Saville Row, has anyone here had any experience with tailors over here? I'm mainly interested in the quality/price ratio

    Colour?

    What colour do you guys suggest for a fedora? I have a black one, but it feels a bit, wrong. Would a brown one be better, or dove grey? And any londoners know a good place to get one, preferably one that's somewhat easy on the wallet?

    Hello

    Noticed there was no introductory thread for the newbies like me, so I thought might as well make one for myself (please forgive me if I've broken an unwritten golden rule!). Anyway, as my name shows, my name is Luke, and funnily enough I live in London. I have a few suits, 2 for work (1...
