This is a steal at $50 PayPal + $10 shipping. If you want to pick it up in Chicago (Lincoln Park area), the price drops to $45 cash.

If this fits you and you fail to take advantage of this offer, the Angels in Heaven will weep. ]]> SALES Forum beherethen http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/forum/showthread.php?t=99885 http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/forum/showthread.php?t=99884&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:54:57 GMT I'm looking for OTR dress shirt pinpoint oxford spread collar french cuff slim fit - JBanks and Brooks Bros have only in broadcloth, which is too thin for my liking.

Not sure if anyone will be able to help out. I'm in the progress of setting-up my own clothing label at present and looking to source high-end UK produced Polos & Tees.

At present i'm only aware of Sunspel & John Smedley and was wondering if anyone else knows of any other supplier?

Thanks

Looks pretty decent in the pictures and something that wouldn't look too incongruous with my work attire, especially on a rainy/snowy day.

Has anyone tried these ? Also, it doesn't look like these seem to be available in anything but a 'D/M' width - any experience on whether these are narrow / wide ?

It has a hidden button closure which I prefer to studs.

I can't seem to find any, but did come across a Hugo Boss shirt with that feature. Are Boss OK quality? It appears to be so so...Any other vendors you can recommend with a hidden button closure style?

Thanks!

We’ve all read about David Chu sport coats.

I’m not sure who in Italy makes them, but the styling is impeccable. The 3B front has a gentle roll, the shoulder is soft, and the patch pockets are perfectly set.

The tweed sets light blue and raspberry on a heathery green ground.

Even the lining is neatly coordinated: Olive for the upper back (partial lining), and light blue for the sleeves.

This is a new and unworn item. It includes buttons for finishing the sleeves. The way the cuffs are left open will make the inclusion of working buttonholes that much easier, if you desire them.

Measurements are standard for the size, as you can read below. If you want it slimmer, have it taken in.

Retail on these babies is about $1300. My price: $350 shipped insured in CONUS. Canada add 10, ROW add 20.

Measurements: top to bottom in back including collar 32, from collar seam 30.75; shoulder 19.5; arm 25.5 with at least 1.5 to let out; chest 44, coat waist 42. Three button front. Four buttons available for finishing each sleeve. Double rear vent. All wool. Partly lined. Size on label 40R us 6 drop. Made in Italy. Excellent condition, new without tag.

What are the best ones to buy, whether they are otc or mid-calf. Thick or thin, and what composition is best. 100% cashmere, or a blend.

Now in his 80's I believe.

His writing, demeanour and delivery have a seam of understatement running through it. No surprise then that I read long ago that his clothes are Savile row.

Cannot be described as dapper but nevertheless very well dressed. Shirts with bold stripes, probably H&H. DB blazer is still worn well and has the slightly rumpled look befitting a man of the world.

When recrafting time comes, what other sole options does Alden offer, if any?

As an aside, how do you find the wear on these original soles?
