La Scala dress code
Next month I will be seeing Il Barbiere di Siviglia at La Scala. It will be the second night of the run and my seats are fairly high up in the auditorium. I assume black tie is not required but I just wanted to make sure. Also Milan in July will obviously be a bit warm to say the least. I would love...

Re: My first bespoke shoes...
As always, thanks for your most helpful advice Costi. So you would agree that Loafers are acceptable to be worn with a Dinner Jacket in the UK? Black will be my colour because black can be worn more often, I don't own a single pair of brown shoes because I don't have any garments that would require...

Re: Rachmaninoff
Rachmaninoff, brilliant composer and superb pianist that he was, had a peculiar idiosyncrasy while living in America. No matter how much he was offered for a concert or recital at Carnegie Hall on any given Sunday, he flatly refused. The reason? Rachmaninoff didn't want to miss the Jack Benny radio...

Re: The beautiful soul
This is so true. This is in line I think with the poem recently posted here. It shouldn't be too much about the clothes but about the wearer. Elegance should be more than skin deep.

Re: Vol. I No. V (Sept 05') Summer / Resort Part II AA / Esky

I saw some discussion about turning his posts into a book. That's an excellent idea. If it was privately (vanity) published you might be able to...

Re: The semiotics of male coats buttoning
My Chinese friends tell me that, when learning to write as children, if they were left handed they were forced to write right-handed (and then smacked with a ruler for their less than elegant handwriting). Historically, Chinese was written with brush and ink, from top to bottom, right to left, and ...
