The London Lounge

I feel that they have changed - that was the point. My opinion earlier was that they were "trad with flair", but have gone towards more classic (and classic with flair in Phineas Cole))). Hence the comparison with Sulka. And I haven't noticed anything Palm Beach-y, at least it did not strike the eye...

I have been in NYC last week for a Future of Television East conference, had a couple of days of to walk around and visit familiar places of interest))) At Paul Stuart on Madison had a sense of deja vu - it looked like Pual Stuart has become a new Sulka - not in the store interior but rather in the ...

It's a fashion photo by John Rawlings, but it surely qualifies for the thread)))

by storeynicholas » Sun Oct 18, 2009 1:14 pm Woolf Barnato I mention next - the man who bet, in 1930, that he could drive his Speed Six Bentley saloon and race against the Blue Train, from Cannes, and that he could be in his London club before the Blue Train reached Calais. Racing all night, he rea...

Perhaps Brandelli's next (or has-been-all-this-time) wish would be to follow Tom Ford (though he had already had a house of his own before Kilgour - Squire, I believe). Anyway I think we all should applaude both men at least for raising the level of elegance (by bringing it back into fashion) among ...

I believe that Mr. Amies is just expressing his own view (obviously with his experience he is entitled to), and I take it as just that...
I remember his earlier insistence on 4 to 5 high-buttoning coats as "traditional English look" as well...

I'd like to subscribe to the Zimmerli side as well - it's a personal choice, but I'm feeling more comfortable in them than in anything else (now that there's little left of "anything else")

Yesterday at the Guerlain corner of Moscow TsUM (local equivalent of Barneys ) I was told by the shop assistant that Guerlain are planning to discontinue Heritage.
Is anybody here in the know whether that's true?

I have different adjusters with diffreent placing but the bottom picture is the one with the most neat look.

Sulka in the Centenniary collection had a range of such luxury shirts - named "old-fashioned collar" - I have several in various colours and patterns, but since its demise the only place to seek them is on EBay. RL have them in linen and cotton named "Caldwell", as well as Bergdorf Goodman under the...

Sorry for misleading you, by stiff I just meant pique material being denser than the plain body of the shirt, not the stiff collar. Collar is down semi-spread, cuffs are double. Overall I chose Marcela shirt over the pleated-front beacuse of its "cleaner" look, more proper to my taste, though its on...

I do on very rare occasions, when in the mood to somehow distinguish the day

I am not the most knowledgeable in the subject, but judging by my Rayner & Sturgess one - it has collar, cuffs and front bib in stiff pique weave, wheras all the other areas are plain voile

Quite rarely when seated and often removing the coat altogether...
