    Old-style Shoelaces

    Pardon me if this has been spoken about before, but does anyone know a source for new or dead stock flat "ribbon" shoelaces for oxfords, etc? I mean the type popular before the modern, thin, round, waxy style. I have only seen the formal style offered by Cleverley, et al. For lack of a better...

    Vintage-Cut Fair Isle Sweater Vests

    I am sure there has been a lot of talk about Fair Isle Sweaters around here, but I am curious if anyone has come across a modern maker who implements those great Golden Age details: mainly the shorter length, the exaggerated "waist band", and the lower-cut v-neck. I find the typical modern...

    Pocket Square storage/organization

    Curious as to how FL users store and/or organize their pocket squares. Is there a "standard" way of doing so? I basically just keep them unfolded and stacked in a pile on a shelf in a closet, which I am not crazy about.

    DB Jacket: How many buttons on the sleeve?

    Does a double-breasted jacket need to have 4 buttons on the sleeve/cuff, or can it be 3 or even 2? Any protocol of the former or evidence of the latter? Thanks!

    Boiled front evening wear shirt care in the U.S.

    This may be old news, but I just learned from Darcy in England that French Hand Laundry & Dry Cleaning in Pasadena, CA can care for/properly starch a boiled front shirt. So you don't need to send your shirts all the way to Barker's in the U.K. I assume that Barker's is still the only place, more...

    Roll Lapel

    Can a roll lapel be "made", or does the jacket need to be tailored as such? Can one creatively iron/press a roll?

    A Gentleman's Boudoir

    I will start this thread with the obligatory disclaimer that this may have been discussed in previous posts… It would be enlightening to see photos of some other members' closets, collections, organizational systems, antique storage items, etc. I would be happy to go first, but don't own a...

    Who wears the best, the most often?

    I am not sure if this topic has been discussed at all, but it is something that came to mind this morning. Certain modern actors (of the past 30 years, let's say) have been in so many great period/costume piece movies. Who do you envy the most for the clothing that they repeatedly get to wear...
