fairly lightweight for a wintercoat
works well over a heavier suit jacket o

i agree with berwick i like belts. period. im not a "suspender kinda guy". also as for rise--its an odd blanket comment that perhaps young men look good in low rise trousers but really no one else first--what do we mean by low rise? really low rise, well...i dont want to see anyone's backside coming...

i believe #8 is what most americans think of as "Cordovan color"..that kind of eggplantish color with a bit more burgundy and a bit less black than an eggplant.. sort opf close to "oxblood" as for style--really its personal choice--i for one am not crazy about full brogues, i like a simpler shoe--bu...

okay that's not so bad although i would not call them a lower cost shirtmaker

i consider mid-price as $300 or $325-$400 or $425
low price as $225-$250
and expensive as $450 and up\


and i mean for high quality but not the priciest fabrics, say TM silver

i love royal oxfords which are 90s i think-although i generally wear them with jeans only.

and i dont think i have any shirts that go past 140

btw..its not thread count-everybody got that from sheets--
that number is the yarn number and the higher #, the finer the yarn

are they mid-priced?
i thought they were $500 a shirt for mason silver or am i wrong on that?

very funny
