Formal Wear Primer

[fluteplayer07]

Too many sub-forums can spread a site thin and make the forum difficult to approach -- people stick to one area and don't venture out as much so there isn't as good of an information transfer -- however, two more forums I feel we are in desperate need of are 'Formalwear/Morningwear', and 'Footwear'... It would clear out the G.A.&A. and allow for more open discussion in the formalwear department.

Maybe time for a poll?

The "Formal Wear Primer" thread has grown way past the point of being merely a primer. It is now a full forum for discussion of all the many nuances of mens formal wear in general. And boy are there a lot of nuances. I think it's time for Formal Wear to have its own forum, with separate threads on White Tie, Black Tie and Morning wear. Any thoughts?

Absolutely. The current thread makes for a very impractical resource.

[MisterGrey]

Agreed. This thread contains a wealth of information, but it's difficult to search/sort through. A new Formalwear Forum would make all of that information much more accessible.

[Rathdown]

In total agreement. To find anything now one feels much as Stanley must have felt when searching for Livingston (or was he searching for Ollie?).

[Undertow]

I had posted a poll but it was removed same-day. I have a feeling we're not going to see a new forum.

I recently finished these formal striped trousers.

Nick,

Well done, they fall very nicely and have a nice line down the front.

[A.C. Lyles]

Those trousers are hanging quite nicely, Nick. Well done!

Shindeco, two of us are now looking for waistcoats. The type you have in your photos are the correct cut, but we need them in full backs. would you have any advice for us? J.D. Hunt
