Eyeglass case?

Having recently taken delivery of a new pair of eyeglasses (manufactured by Dr. Schnuchel of Hetlingen, Germany) that do not come with a case (seemingly the custom among makers of finer focal frames?) I find myself in need of an elegant storage solution for said frames. Most grateful for any suggest...

I could have assumed that the red overcheck one was Hackett's Horse & Hound special from 1999. Anyone know if this was made by Brora? /Cheers, MB

Thank you, Concordia, for your encouraging reply, reaching me at a the right time, as today's ensamble consists of a medium bengal stripe Budd shirt (muted blue stripes) with one of those small polka-dotted T&A ties (navy) worn with a navy chalkstripe suit. I do think it quite works, but seem to rec...

Stripes and dots?

Confession: I quite like the look of polka dot ties with bengal stripe shirts. However, a warning voice in the back of my head tells me this is bad form. Anyone care to venture an opinion?

Cheers,

I'm not impressed. The button stance seems too high, affecting the roll of the lapel. Also, the studied conservative matching of the tie, suit, pocket square, and shirt seems to indicate some affectation on part of the wearer. As far removed from the Prince of Wales as one might go... The watch is a...

In my opinion, olive oil is not half bad for the hair. For further reference, see "The English Patient". However, where the Kip character uses quite a lot, I would recommend just a drop. Certainly better than synthetic products for those days when the hair feels a bit dry.


Cheers,

In two suits, currently in the making, I will finally have pockets tailored to the Montblanc Meisterstück (no. 149) I always carry.

Thank you, uppercase!

Yes, you will find a small cabinet just to your left as you enter the cigar room. To my taste, a fine selection. Good luck!

Being quite new to this forum, I would have hoped that my first post would be on a more cheerful note. However -- and I blame tonight's multiple glasses of claret for this -- I can not help myself in expressing my heartfelt sympathy for the Londoners who might not be able to live life to the fullest...
