Re: E & G Cappelli, Naples

Hope i didn't isolate myself with forthcoming comments

Ambrosi styled trousers "does not do it for me." The cut doesn't seem proportional. Of course, this may be an artifact of local or perhaps, regional styles - and that's fine. One of my goals of dressing is to achieve a Sartorial expression of dress that is appropriate wherever I travel. Disclaimer: ...

Do Stephen Lachter or his services travel to the US with Norton? Likewise, has anyone recently tried to get access to Sean O'Flynn's shirts via N&L or Huntsman?

a few of my LH winter neckwear

Per UC suggestion, here are a few I ordered summer '06, which Matt brought stateside - thanks as always. LH ties are incredibly weightless, truly unique and a pleasure to wear. http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/5996/lh2wf2.th.jpg http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/4271/lh1yo7.th.jpg http://img403.i...

Neckwear
