Funnily enough, I stumbled across the style I described with trousers from Baron Boutique. I never gave any particular specifications with them, so I guess it's their house style. The first pair was somewhat subtle at 18" cuff, but with the second I took it out to a 20" cuff. Also BB trousers...

Surely with that hat it's a bit more evocative of a Maybach SW 42.

As seen on The Sartorialist. Also : Cars as inspiration. Mr.Rover I'm surprised this hasn't been posted already, although I suppose most of the regulars have already seen it. The commentary on the photos brings up the topic of the wide-legged trousers. I'm of the opinion that they balance...

A radical approach to colour theory First of all, the photo evidence reveals that grey flannels and suede brogues would indeed work wonders. However, I would disagree with the alternate suggestion of a green tie. Being one of the most audible colours in the spectrum, I am of the mind...

I agree with Micawber, rust or orange cords would look great.

I've purchased from him three times and it has always been excellent quality with quick shipping. I'd thoroughly recommend him.

Yes, I was very surprised by the inactivity of the lot and how much it eventually went for. I suppose the boating stripes are a bit intimidating for mere mortals.

I have an Adams Row donegal tweed suit, apparently from the 60s or 70s. I'd place them as a lower price bracket (it's 75% wool, 25% poly) fashion brand. Despite the poly content, the suit is fairly well made with half-lining and a coin sub-pocket in the right jacket pocket. It's very slim...

So many lead-on sentences. SO MANY! Whilst I agree with your comparison of AAAC & SF to here, I wouldn't say the London Lounge is particularly active. I've seen threads sit on the first page for six months or more. That said, I don't mind that this forum is much slower because the quality of...

The question, which you answered, was raised by Prairie Dog, apparently comparing the photos he posted to the initial post in the thread. Unless he was referring to Dagwood's second link, in which case starting his post with a quote from the opening post, containing an unrelated photograph...

I agree fully, whilst Beckham has a habit of wearing ill-fitting fashion-victim suits I can't see anything wrong with this current ensemble, aside from a touch of blandness. All I see is a nicely-fitted suit in an elegant light grey with suitably proportioned peak lapels. I'd personally have...

Burning Fists of Silky Death I think the medium to smaller knots are more your friend, the big I Am Smuggling Cocaine Inside This Windsor Knot look seems to overwhelm you. Do you know of the Plattsburgh?. It's my default knot of choice. It's like a Windsor except that it has a dramatic taper...

Not to mention the price. I quite liked that suit, but it would have been a touch too large.

Yeah, a panama was involved. I was going to wear an ice blue basketweave tie but decided to go with the red at the last minute because I looked like a televangelist.
