Re: Apparel Arts and Esquire Images

Excellent, excellent, excellent.

Thank you again, Minh. As hectorm already mentioned, the text really elevates these pages with its description and wit.

I personally can't get enough of these odd waistcoats, and the wintery fabrics in general.

Re: The 'Dark Heart'? I think not.

Re: Fabric tips for new bespeakers

What wonderful advice to keep in mind as I dip my toes in the raging Nile of bespoke tailoring, Mr. Alden. Thank you.

In fact, I think I may just avoid worsteds altogether after the first navy or charcoal suit.
