I was waiting for this photo:

Mr. Tucker had natural fiber chinos (wrinkled), black shoes and black penny loafers! Very TRAD!

This is a speaker series near us.

Last speaker Condoleezza Rice and mutual friend of Michael Anton:

^ Andy,
You look much more comfortable with Condi than you do with Tucker.

Tucker is definitely getting around. My 18-year old son ran into him over the weekend in a bathroom in Boca Grande. I'll do Tucker and everyone else a favor by not posting the pic, as they were shirtless (had been fishing).

I'm trying to talk (fast) to him about shirts, before the next photo!

For those who may have ongoing interest in Tucker's clothing/style choices, I noticed he was carrying a Filson briefcase during his travels with the President, the footage of which aired tonight. Also appeared to be wearing a sterling plaque style belt buckle and black full strap loafers. Same thing I've been wearing for almost 20 years!

I just heard from Tucker Carlson who has been enjoying this thread. He doesn’t like to comment on his wardrobe, but does agree that Mercer makes the best shirts!

Well, that begs the question: who IS Mr. Dreamspace?

 

[SG_67]

I think sometimes it's lost on us here that going up to a total stranger and inquiring about who makes his shirts, or rather dropping the name of the maker, might strike people as odd.

If In fact Mr. Carlson reached out to Andy and stated that he was following this thread, I applaud his sense of humor. Nevertheless I can only wonder how odd he might have found the questioning of his shirt maker at a meet and greet photo op.

 

[Kyle76]

If/when he found out that Andy runs a popular men's fashion website, I doubt he found it all that odd that Andy would inquire about his clothes, particularly in that his fashion sense is a large part of his public persona.

 

[Andy]

It could seem a little odd, but once I gave Mr. Carlson my business card, he not only understood but was happy to discuss shirts!

And I don't mind anyone asking me about my clothes. Might even be construed as a compliment!

If you watch Tucker Carlson regularly, you'll notice that now and then he wears a shirt that has a light blue windowpane pattern. The first time I saw that shirt on him, I immediately recognized it for what it was: the Mercer "Town and Country Skye Blue Check." That's one of my favorite Mercer patterns. Evidently Tucker feels the same way.

Any info on Tucker's preferred tie maker? I like a small knot four in hand and it's difficult to find ties, other than vintage, that come out similarly. Thanks all.

This is a Mercer collar band height shirt question. I have asked my question of Mercer and have been told that the collar band height on Mercer shirts is 2 inches. The shirts Tucker wears do NOT look like the collar band is 2 inches high.

Can anyone here who owns a Mercer shirt comment? 2 inches is too high for me, as I have a short neck. My Gitman shirts all have a 1.5 inch collar band. By collar band, I mean the piece of fabric to which the collar is attached.

Shirts are Mercer.

I'm wondering whose suits. I'm sitting across from an ad and there are working sleeve buttons.

I own 32 Mercer shirts. In response to your question, I just measured a whole bunch of them with a Vernier caliper. Some variation may have been the result of the way the collars were ironed by the laundry, but none were even close to two inches in band width. Nearly all of them were between 1.4 and 1.7 inches, with 1.6 inches being perhaps the most common width.

 

[peterc]

Thanks for the reply. I did actually call Mercer and was told 1.75" is the collar band height, so maybe its been increased or there's a variance.

I sure miss the old 1989 - 1995 Armani shirts, the ones without collar stays. They probably had a 1.3" collar band and loose, floppy, unlined collars.
