Usually facial structure and shape is a good indicator of what works. You want something that will flatter you, not emphasize or draw attention to an undesirable feature
Mighty fine pairs you gents have.
I recognize the BB Aldens from when I worked for BB. Came close to selling a pair one time, but didn't happen.
When you say they are unlined, what do you mean?
I'm really serious about buying an original RCA Victor, and I know the basics of what I want in it. However, I know there are different models, features, etc.
Can anybody reccomend a good site for researching the above?
That's a hell of a deal! Allen Edmonds are superb shoes, and due to their 360 degree Goodyear Welt construction, they can be literally rebuilt. They take the shoe a part piece by piece (called Recrafting) and really bring it outs natural luster.
Good question. Standard measurements for regular ties are typically 57" long and 3" wide (give or take). For bow ties, ehh, I'm not sure. When tied, it shouldn't extend beyond the sides of one's face. I myself would opt for what BB does - many of my ties are from them. Jos. A. Bank had some...
I used to be one that wouldn't dare think of wearing a bow-tie, that is, until I worked for Brooks Brothers for about a year. Not typical for my age, my tastes tend to run into the 1940's/50's at the latest.
Personally, I think it comes down to personal taste. Anybody can pull of any look...
I would be interested in finding places online that still sell ascots.
Brooks Brothers, a high-end men's retailer in the US, stocks them. But, they're wanting for style and variety in my opinion. The ones they do have on would look good with a tweed jacket or camel hair because of the tone...
Handsome stuff here guys, I love it. I have two Harris Tweed jackets I'll have to post on here.
@Mario - Love the Norfolk belt donegal jacket.
@Dinerman - Very handsome gun check suit
