    Fragrance for two teenage boys.

    I am going to buy some fragrance for my sons. One is nineteen and already wears fragrance. But I am looking for a second option for him (I will check his other one later, I cannot get to it at the moment). The other is seventeen and wears only antiperspirant from the supermarket. I am...

    Swimming trunks

    I am off to Italy shortly and require some swimming trunks. Some nice ones. Because Italy. I have bought some intimissimi online and they are perfectly pleasant but quite low rise. I am in good shape, but in my fifties, so sexy isn’t an appropriate look. Last season I tried on some Orlebar...

    Linen suit suggestions.

    Hi All I am going to have a linen suit made in the next couple of months. I cannot decide on the details, so any thoughts appreciated. Firstly, navy or cream? Navy looks good, is flattering and will not need to be cleaned so often. Cream will be good for the sun and avoiding mosquitoes in...

    How do I make my hair look like this?

    I have a full head of hair, albeit straight and I want to give it that rich, textured look like this. Any ideas how it would be achieved please chaps? My best attempts usually end up either as a fluffy bouffant, or a hard slick.

    Hip flask suggestions - UK

    Hi All I need a hip flask as a gift. £100 budget including engraving. The Aspinal 5oz one looks good. But my experience of their stuff has been mixed. Any other suggestions please? Many thanks.

    Gym / running shorts with decent waistband.

    Can anyone suggest some please? I am using Gymshark at the moment, but I've also tried Nike Dri Fit. The problem with both being, the drawstring waist doesn't stay flat for long. When I bend over, the waistband folds over, and it looks bulky. Shorts I have had in the past have been much...

    Slicked back, textured hair.

    I have a lot of hair, but it is quite fine. I struggle to make it not bouffant and usually end up having it cut short to make it manageable. I cannot help but think that with the right products I can make it more interesting. So how do I achieve this look chaps? Slicked back and super broken...

    Mike Ashley buys Gieves & Hawkes

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-63741467 For any of you unfamiliar with Mike Ashley, he is the owner of Sports Direct and many other chains. He is very much a "pile it high, sell it cheap" merchant and the antithesis of everything normally associated with Savile Row.

    How wide are your trousers?

    Over the past few years, I have had my formal trousers finished at 7.25 inches. Invariably without a turn up. But lately I am going wider, with a turn up. My most recent suit, a 3-season worsted, has 8.5 inches. A pair of MTM trousers I've had made at 9". I am thinking of having some trousers...

    My final suit.

    I've been buying suits over the past five years and find myself with nine. I think we can agree that no man should have nine suits, and want to add a tenth. But what? I have: Henry Poole mid-grey 2-button SB, 2-piece. Henry Poole navy 2-button SB 3-piece Henry Poole brown 2-button SB 3-piece...

    Economic rubber sole Oxfords

    Hello All My son needs some economic rubber-soled (e.g Dainite) black Oxfords for winter formalwear. Samuel Windsor has some, but the leather looks a little hard. Can anyone suggest a UK maker what is decent quality but reasonably priced please?

    Duffle bag required.

    Hi All My gym bag gave up the ghost today, so I need another. I've looked at Bennet Winch and Tusting, both of whom have some pleasant designs. Can anyone suggest where else to try please? Must be either UK based or with a UK presence, so tax is not charged on import. Not sure if I want...

    Tassel loafer not too narrow.

    Hi All I posted this a few days ago, but I cannot now find it. Perhaps a victim of the server wobble. Anyway, I fancy some tassel loafers for summer. But pointier lasts seem to be prolific and my feet are not that shape. Can anyone suggest a suitable shoe from an English maker that might be...

    My new overcoat - the details.

    I am going to have an overcoat made, like the one below. I am thinking that I won't have the velvet collar. But I cannot make up my mind whether to go for straight or slant pockets and whether to add a ticket pocket. What do you think, chaps?

    Quality suit dust covers.

    Hi All I have a mix of suit covers in my wardrobe, ranging from paper thin to heavy canvas. In part because some are becoming tatty, and also because my OCD wants my suit covers to match, I want to buy some new matching ones. They will ideally be slimline so that they don't take up a lot of...

    Trouser rise and pleat vs plain.

    For the longest time, I have worn flat fronted trousers and a relatively low waistband. It is what has been for sale RTW and what tailors have automatically tended towards. I have four suits in production, all of them in that style. I am quite stocky and I think it suits me. However, I am...
