I must echo all the above comments.
Beautiful jacket and beautifully worn.
It looks perfectly made and I particularly like the buttoning and the choice of tan buttons.
Enjoy!

I have been looking at this...seems to be a good comprimise between an Antony Eden and maybe a rapper sort of hat??
Have not actually examined it , only online...but am tempted.
Lapse of good taste..I wonder

I cant upload picture. Bates Hats Soft Homburg

Melcomb. Antony Eden was indeed a well dressed and vain man who obviously took great care in his appearance. A. N. Wilson has said of him ' The only Prime minister who wore nail varnish' His poor decision making which you mention is considered by some to be due to his use of Benzadrine which had bee...

Luca your reply interests me. I like Cordings moleskins and wear them all winter. Thinking that their summer wear would be similar, I have been trying to buy some Chinos or Drill from them, but have more or less given up. They have a quite high price, which upon checkout they charge tax? Living as I...

Well done Andreyb,
I had been coveting the Camel collared cardigan on Drakes site for ages but couldn't bring myself to spend £350.
Last spring I saw he same in Berk ( made by Lockie) and @ £250 I bought it.
Now you have come up with the same again @£175
It pays to shop around....well done!

Well done Rob,
Thats the sort of thing.
Mine is quite a lot shorter and therefore less bulky.
The first Brora I had was about 2 ft., bit like a cravat.

I wear a Brora cashmere scarf most of the time this weather; even cravat style under an open necked shirt. Like a polo neck jumper it is very difficult to take off once you have begun to use it. The scarf is about 4ft. long X 7inches wide, but is quite skinny and not too bulky. Brora seem to have to...

It is an inspiration Costi.
We haven't seen or heard much from you for ages.
So welcome back! always value your expetise on this site.

Morning MRJ,
Sorry about the reason for your need to wear a hat, but nevertheless you will cut a dash.
I do hope it all works out for you.
Try Locks hatters, also in a smaller way but equally good are Bates hats. Both do mail order, you just need to know your head size.
Best of luck.

Very well done BAO, You have certainly jumped in at the deep end, which is very brave of you. The usual advice given when looking for a new tailor is to get something made; get the fit etc. perfected, and when thats all sorted and you are happy, go again. I am sure these will all be perfect for you,...

Why on earth would you(or anyone) want to model yourself on Alan Flusser?

I Have been looking for information on Seville through the eyes of this forum, and this seems to be the nearest.

I am planning to visit here for a few days. Is there anything of sartorial interest in Seville that should not be missed?

I wear Cordings moleskins most of the time. Perfect for me. I have not tried their summer trousers but am anxious to do so .If they are equal to the winter version I will like them. Seem to be a good selection of colours etc. The main problem with men used to wearing jeans etc. is the difficulty in ...

Very beautiful ......the jacket looks good too.
Well done Dkst

J. S Groot thank you for all your help on this, for uploading the picture and for your succinct and very well considered, perfectly judged reply. That was exactly my thinking. Michael, Thank you so much for your input. I really loved your brutal but frank opinion on this. It sometimes takes someone ...
