Hello all,
I am having a pair of very high waist white tie trousers made and I was reading another post here which said that the braces buttons ought to be on the outside - is that correct? Front and back? I had always thought they went on the inside of the trousers. This is the type with the high v-shape at the back.
Also, is it true that my trousers should have two stripes of silk down the legs and not just one (as is the case in black tie?)
Next: does anyone know where I can buy quality pure silk dress socks on the internet?
And finally, I have a hand-rolled off-white silk handkerchief - is that alright for the front pocket or do I really need to get a linen one? I read somewhere that the pocket hanky shouldn't match the tie exactly (which is white marcella).
Thanks,
Jamie
