I'm not very fond of patent leather, but those are nice.

I've been wondering how a square-toed opera pump would look. I like it.

Yes those are lovely.  Though I am D width, I find the current Brooks/Churchs offerings to be a bit narrow, though I take a D width usually.  Perhaps I'll have to go with whatever is the equivalent of the "E" fitting in English shoes.

I took a look at the AE Ritz in person, and I have to say that I much perfer the Brooks model to it.  But that EG in box-calf looks particularly swell.  Though, I'm now thinking that patent leather does the trick for me.

I really like these Dupont cuff-links, despite the fact that they've got the 007 thing engraved on them:

On the subject of bespoke shirts. I want to get an evening shirt to go with my midnight blue tuxedo. It has a vest. My question is can I wear a pleated front shirt with a vest or should I get one of the plastron front ones? Sometimes, in movies, I see plain white shirts that take studs. Is that permissible?

One word about silk lining on the back of the vest, you do slide a lot against a vinyl backed sofa!
