    What are you wearing today??

    Yes, I am pleased with mine; I would say that they are probably at the lower end of Jermyn Street quality, but a perfectly acceptable shirt and good value for money if you can get them at sale rates. The fact that they offer a range of sleeve lengths is good, and I find their standard cut is...

    What are you wearing today??

    All a bit modern, I'm afraid, but, as worn to a meeting with my Minister: Navy hopsack suit, T.M. Lewin Pale blue shirt with rose, navy and dark brown white-bordered stripes, Charles Tyrwhitt Navy boxcloth braces, Albert Thurston Chocolate brown full brogues, George Webb Rose...

    Watch Chains

    DeaconKC, you're very kind! Undertaker, thanks for the tip on the pencil, which I will certainly bear in mind. The watch is a Kienzle, which I believe is a fairly old-established firm of German watchmakers. I haven't been able to find out much about them, except that they made watches at...

    Watch Chains

    Thank you all for your suggestions and pictures of your own watch/chain/fob combinations. Duly inspired, I rooted around in one of my junk boxes and disinterred this old family gold-filled Wahl Eversharp. Whilst the combination of the coppery tone of the pencil with the brassy tone of the watch...

    What pens are we carrying today?

    Thanks for the warning John! The Pen-Cil-Scope I am likely to pass on, so I am leaving strictly alone. The Conway (definitely a keeper) I have found will take Yard-O-Led leads so should be fine. I bought a dozen from a good stationers the following day (for three times the cost of the pencil!)...

    Stroller - Morning Dress only?

    I especially like the waistcoat!

    Watch Chains

    Thanks Marc, very helpful indeed! In that case, I'd welcome any further suggestions as to what might be a good accompaniment to the other end of the chain. I am quite tempted by a vesta case (always courteous to have a light for a lady) or a pocket compass...

    Watch Chains

    Esteemed fellow Loungers, having read through all 20 pages of this thread with a question, I am none the wiser, albeit undoubtedly now better-informed. Perhaps you can help! Whilst on holiday in the Netherlands last year I bought myself a cheap vintage pocket watch. The silver plate was...

    Stroller - Morning Dress only?

    I know nothing aboutthe brand unfortunately, but I do like the jacket, especially the link button, peak lapels and the absence of flapped pockets.

    A VERY nice King George VI presentation Coronation New Testament - KJV

    Apologies, it's emptier now!

    Stroller - Morning Dress only?

    Whereas for me, the fact that it is vintage, and has a provenance - even if I can never know it - leads me to value the items all the more (that, and the fact that I know that buying vintage allows me to stretch my budget to acquire items that I could never normally afford/justify buying otherwise.)

    A VERY nice King George VI presentation Coronation New Testament - KJV

    To complement the coronation busts PADDY is offering, may I proffer this rare nice little presentation New Testament, given to British schoolchildren to commemorate the coronation of the Queen's father, King George VI...

    Interesting shirt feature

    It would kill more than that if one of the sock clips came off!

    What pens are we carrying today?

    Not exactly carrying, but I bought these two today (along with the cufflinks) and briefly used both: 2 1940s/1950s mechanical pencils and a pair of 1950s MoP cufflinks: The upper of the two is a working "The Conway 50", which I assume makes it a Conway Stewart, whilst the other is a...

    Waistcoat buttons and shirt studs

    All rather fascinating; thank you Marc!

    Waistcoat buttons and shirt studs

    To my knowledge black waistcoats with fixed buttons are perfectly correct for black tie, hence waistcoat button/shirt stud matching should not be an issue. Indeed I think that it would be a challenge to find a black waistcoat which took detachable buttons (which I suspect arose with white...
