Most elegant outfit, Federico. Wonderful lapel roll. Beautiful homburg. They all suit you exceedingly well.

Fellow Loungers, if I may intrude into this conversation, is it possible to differentiate a fop from a fool, or they're essentially the same? And, if I understood it correctly, the sentence is that whom is fortunate enough to exude style does not need, or can even dismiss, expensive and/or exquisite...

Costi, you're a master in putting things so well in perspective. Cheers for this enlightened post. Bravo.

Incredible suit! The whole outfit is wonderful. Congrats, Frederic.

A very good friend, well versed in Italian tailoring, tells me there are still good shirtmakers in Buenos Aires. Carazo, at Marcelo T. de Alvear 847, is a very good one -- so he tells me. I´ve seen their work and liked it.
Unfortunately, Cheverny is no more. Closed.

I do totally agree with you, Gido.

Are these gorges lower than present day models? A question for more wise members, what would be the difference between a higher gorge and a lower one, such as these worn by Cary Grant?

Concordia,

I´ve got 5,50m of the dark charcoal you´ve just mentioned. I plan to have it made later this year. I hope my tailor in Rio is able to stretch those 5.5 into two suits (SB and a DB), but I´m losing hope there would be enough cloth...

Dear Michael, I remember your video with Mr. Graham on the whole fleece cloth, about 5 years ago. That was one the most beautiful mid-gray worsteds I´ve seen. Could not get it in time... got 5.5m of the dark grey, which is also an incredible cloth. Do you know if there are any leftovers of that wond...

Wasn´t it done already?

Dear Michael,

Is the lovat-green flannel on page 134 a feasible prospect for the CC? That is something exquisite not seen at all these days -- at least by myself.

If my recollection is correct, that picture comes from the possibly now-extinct Brookster website, doesn´t it?

Nice Prince jacket. I like the soft shoulder with subtle rolinos and especially the breast patch pocket, very well done.

Tempo is a little bit sluggish for my taste, but Richter is Richter.

Nice music for Fridays...
