You should have warned her that if she touches your tie again you'll have to tie her up with it...

I think it more likely that in spite of her innocent looks, she would do the tying up...which is even better.

I like the jacket but not the color.

Ah, right thread this time...

I like a lot of Cifonelli's work. I think it will be appeal to younger men, which can only be a good thing for bespoke tailors. They are also another source for inspiration. Once you've covered the basics several times, you need to experiment a little.

Chickens? You have a strange taste in ties!!

That's one of the pleasures of wearing Duchamp ties, you just know that you are going to get up someone's nose, which is its own reward.

What's your opinion on that jacket?

You (as well as FNB) wear Duchamp ties? They don't get up my nose, just hurt my conservative eyes.

I'm always to busy looking at the ladies to notice what ties men are wearing. But hey ho.

They're probably a lot of fun to socialize with too. Unlike this sort of chap who sits at the edge of the room judging everyone else.

My bespoke Drakes ties came today, they are splendid. Minimum order of three, I went for two in silk and the third one in cashmere. The fabrics in their store were already cut to size for the making of a tie. After a couple of days I received an email informing me that there wasn't enough cloth in one of the silks for my tie. I was asked if there was another cloth I'd like used or would I rather have a refund.
   I must admit I was a little miffed as the cloth in question I really wanted to go with a new suit. The cloth was a sky blue silk with a small navy and white pattern. I couldn't remember seeing anything similar on offer in the store, non the less I asked. I was informed there wasn't, but there maybe at their factory. The sales person (Alexandra) then sent me another email the next day with six pictures attached of silk cloths in sky with a blue and white patterned design. The pattern I picked from those I prefer to my first choice.
    Tip top product and service.

Piccies?

Here you go FNB, 8cm blade and the middle weight interlining. 160cm in length.

Sadly, you don't get many women in the clubs of St. James's. The biggest problem with the company gay men is their bitchiness and misogyny. And I don't sit at the edge of the room judging people. Such people are so loud and attention-seeking that you can't avoid noticing them.

No, you probably aren't that sort but then, all sorts of men are welcome here, even the ones I don't like.

It was a tie I wore with a blazer out. I got a little hen pecked about it by a chick. I think it was both chickens and roosters; so there were definitely some cocks mixed in. I assure you they were arranged in a way that wasn't completely fowl.

I like a long tie too. Careful whilst eating with the light blue tie on. For some reason stains gravitate towards light ties.

Btw, those ties look 90% straight to me.

Sleeves on the jacket look fine but the sleeves on the shirt look long---no?

I didn't notice them to be honest, I only focused on the tailor. British tailors would tend to cut the sleeves on the jacket a touch longer, the shirt sleeves are about right to my eyes.

The x" amount of shirt cuff showing is an iGent myth.

The jacket sleeves are too short, even if you want to show some cuff. Are the buttons just oddly reflecting the light or is this some new trend to use metall?

Formby,

Thanks.  I agree, now that you say it, when I see the sleeves of the shirt they look good -jacket sleeves are too short.  understand about the igent myth--just checking my obeservations.    Thanks!
