I agree, Mr Zapatero does not feel confortable in a suit. I guess he started to wear them quite recently.

I don’t see the point of so much black. Another thing I cannot understand is the slippers with their names on them. I do not like slippe...

Re: Bespoke Watch Straps

A part from those three mentioned by Guille I would advise you to pay a visit to Perodri, Wempe, Chocron, Martin and Iglesias Joyeros.

Re: Bespoke shirts - advice needed

I have never gone for bespoke shirts but i normally buy from Hilditch&Key on its webpage (I live in Spain) and their shirts are quite nice and the final result is more than acceptable. If you want to save some money then go for Hawes. Its work is no that good but its full cutaway is marvellous.
