Charvet Bowties

I will be making a short trip to Paris for easter, and I would love to have something from Charvet. Unfortunately I am on a very limited student budget, so I have to rule out their beautiful shirts. I am hoping that their bowties are more affordable though, does anyone happen to know around how much...

With Alden's lived in shoe thread, its clear to see that many of you know how to take care of your shoes. I have just purchased my first pair of chelsea boots and I would of course like to see them last for a while. I've heard that strong shoe trees are integral to the life of your shoes, but I wond...

Thank you so much RWS, those nightshirts are precisely what I was looking for. I will have to call Brooks Brothers today to ensure that I can get one before Christmas.

That is a beautiful coat to begin with, very nicely done. I had previously thought that a chesterfield coat had a velvet top collar though?

I received the waistcoat today, and having a fabric back is truly beautiful. It makes the waistcoat look more complete as I won't be wearing it without the jacket. It was actually made from only 70cm of cloth, so the fabric backing wasn't much of a difference in material cost at all

Thats what I had thought, I figured that by using the same farbic on the back it would wear more quickly on the lining of your jacket.

Back of a Waistcoat

I'm looking into getting a waistcoat, and when I was speaking with a tailor I was a little thrown off. He recommended that I have the back of the waistcoat made of the garment fabric, in this case a gaberdine, where as I have always seen in store waistcoats with lining used for the back portion. Is ...
