I have no idea who runs SF or LL or how they dress.
Ask Andy's Andy plays it safe, but still looks like one of those guys with a tape measure around his neck who asks 'Can I help you?' when you're browsing among the racks.
Kabbaz is a disaster, particularly his over -tight shirts.
Mr. Film Noir Buff of course is the epitome of interesting elegance in his striped suits and black Edward Greens.
Cromps and Chenners are clearly beginners at this business.
Will is well-turned - out and knows what he's about.
That's my take. What's yours?
Hello guys all.
Will looks like a bony old guy who has dressed for the shot and will immediately change back into jeans and sneakers for the day ahead. Despite the cost, his suits are terrible - lumpy shoulders and awful buttoning plus too wide pants. Colorwise he is coordinated but I guess that Mrs Will deals with that side.
Plus most if not all these guys are doing the professorship role for the $$$ not for an hobby and they really know sweet FA about clothes and style. That's my take and my first post too.

Hell - those pictures of Aldan appeared as I was updating my post and gave me a nasty shock - The Thug in a Suit:
''Yeah, wos your problem, son?''.
You will find Alden pics and videos at http://dresswithstyle.com/.
Yep, Alden usually looks good in his clothes. He is one of the better dressers around...he can do many different looks and pull them all off.

Another guy who was really good was that African fellow (Brahms?). He was only young, but he was a true natural. He could pull off lots of differnt looks and always looked comfortable in his clothes. He was a man who used lots of colour (worked great with his dark skin colour) and his combinations left most forumites for dead. Well ahead of the pack.
Dress with style appears to be open house without signing in. Aldan reminds me of Luca Brasi in the Godfather the 'scary guy':

Many folks look silly with hats, but Alden always looks like `the man' when he wears them. He knows what he is doing and it shows in how he wears his clothes with attitude. He makes the S.F and AAAC crowds look like a bunch of try-hard schoolboys.

I am not keen on Alden's caps - his own design made by Lawrence & Foster in Yorkshire. His polo coat design is excellent. Gieves & Hawkes sold a polo coat in grey herringbone a few years ago. It would not surprise me if they copied him.
Btw, Lawrence & Foster make caps and hats for James Lock and other firms. You will save a lot of cash by buying direct but you may have to wait a few weeks. Lock charges £90 to £135 for caps that you buy from L&F for £38. I believe that L&F offers a bespoke service too.
