Thank you all for this marvellous input!

Thank you!

I just had a pleasant chat with him today, and he told me he's Savile Row trained. Some of his creations look very good indeed, and prices are fair.

Thank you very much.

Dear Gentlemen,

I am having my first pair of trousers made with side tabs, could you please post some pictures of how they should look, or hos yours look, and any advice on general styling/things to consider?

Now it'\s getting stronger, and I am waiting for my Merkur DE to arrive and will try daily, without going against the grain. Will keep you all post...

I think it's one of the most vulgar things one could do. If not an ostentation altogether.

Dear Sirs, Having the pleasure of owning a 1963 British Racing Green MG Midget two-seater, it has become a natural extension of this interest to seek the best accessories to fully enjoy my drives. In particular, I was wondering what advice I could receive from you gentlemen regarding driving shoes, ...

Dear all, I am wondering, as an uninitiated young lad, about starting to wear braces. My dilemma is this: I have seen braces with a single back strap, so once a fellow has his trousers made to match these in terms of distance between back brace buttons, everything should be all right. But what if I ...

Thank you! Will shave as soon as my face allows, and let you know
