    The State of Black Tie: Your Observations

    When @cedarlake23 asked about width I was thinking width of the tie itself. They seem to be uniformly (or ubiquitously) the same, about an inch and a quarter? I found extremes. Prince Ranier with a thin bowtie. When was this a thing? I like it. The fella behind Cary Grant* wearing a wide...

    And with that I wonder do you have any experience with 'Solaro'? @psb recently posted on the What are you wearing thread and @DougDevious commented that the fabric was solaro. I googled it, read a bit about it, and now I'm curious. Any one else have experience with it?

    Wearing CM is something I'm doing late in life and I've enjoyed meeting with Joseph and talking over what he and his people are making for me. I first met him last August to commission a suit. At that meeting my wife said I should get a coat too. Who am I to argue? This is the jacket and I...

    Frank and I talked about the sleeve length; he thought it might be a little long. I thought it would be fine as is. I might have been wrong. The one button was Frank; I don't think we discussed it although maybe we did. My seventy year old brain lets me down sometimes (there's a pattern of brain...

    My Frank Shattuck jacket. Made in a matter of weeks with me driving to his shop in Henderson, NY, about an hour and twenty minutes away depending on the amount of lake effect snow falling. Discussing the make I told Frank that although I preferred certain things I wanted this to be a Frank...

    Well I picked up my first bespoke jacket from Frank Shattuck today and I'm pretty pleased with it. Some things surprised me; I'll try to articulate them tomorrow. On our way to dinner I asked my wife to shot a couple pics outside. She goes, "No I don't want to get all wet." in what was just a...
