    Interesting new shoe line from Timberland

    "Interesting" is one way to describe them. Such a versatile word, that.

    Ralph Lauren sport coat -men or ladies?

    I think it's just called a link front. My morning coat has it, as do most of the 30's repros by Hideki Okasaka. It can be buttoned one side over the other, or with the facing of each side kissing.

    A store in the mall where I work closed up and left several torso forms when they vacated the space. I asked around and nobody wanted them, so I got him for free. Nice shoes!

    Anybody ever order from here?

    700 grams = 24.69 oz. But the original measurement is presumably grams per metre, so a 700 gram fabric would really be 26.91 ounces per yard. I don't think I even have an overcoat that heavy. Even their "lightweight" tweeds are nearly 15 oz.! Most Americans would just about roll over dead at...

    Merciful heavens. Can you imagine a suit made from 24 ounce cloth?

    so what do you think of this

    One of the more bizarre things I've seen in a while.

    This is my new selling assistant. He's a bit of an airhead, but he works for beans and sure makes taking photos easier!

    Seer Sucker details

    It's just a summer suit in a striped pattern. Seersucker has a very particular definition--it's a cloth made of cotton where the warp threads are woven in alternating bands of slack and normal tension. The slack-tensioned threads cause the puckering that is characteristic to seersucker.

    And they're preforated, too! Good thing--I can't stand shoes that are post-forated. :p

    New Brooks Brothers Golden Fleece suit, 42L

    It's a bit out of the ordinary, perhaps, but there are not a few long-torsoed and short-legged men out there. Don't overlook the fact that the trousers could be let down to 33.25" if the cuff is dropped. Or 32.25" with a 1-inch cuff or fake cuffs.

    Double Breasted Vests

    And well-made, too--look at the way the stripes line up!

    Double Breasted Vests

    Of course, I can only repeat what I've heard from Manton and other authorities, but my understanding of the received wisdom is the same as BK's: DB jacket and DB vest don't go together. The only acceptable vest for a DB suit is a single-breasted one, sans lapels (which are a country detail and...

    Double Breasted Vests

    A DB vest is perfectly suitable for a stroller. I wear the combination nearly as often as I do a stroller with a SB vest. This fellow is wearing a buff-colored DB vest with his stroller:

    Don't shun... embrace the corduroy suit.

    Thanks. The great thing about being a university professor is that you can wear whatever you want, and nobody cares. If it's out of the ordinary, they just think you're slightly eccentric--and professors are supposed to be a bit eccentric. :)

    New Brooks Brothers Golden Fleece suit, 42L

    This is one of Brooks Brothers' top-of-the-line Golden Fleece suits made for them by Martin Greenfield Clothiers in New York. It's a solid gray 9.5 oz. wool/cashmere blend from the Walterboro book of fabrics that Brooks has made for them in Huddersfield, England. It's the best fabric they...
