    I just stole this Zegna BD.

    What a deal. I have several Zegnas, and love them. Their fabrics are simply terrific.

    Dashiell Hammet

    Here is a link to some pretty good dope on Woolrich. A pretty tortured soul, but a fascinating writer. http://www.case.edu/artsci/engl/marling/hardboiled/Woolrich.HTM Mark

    Dashiell Hammet

    I am a large fan of Hammett. I have to say that I prefer Chandler, however. More levity, and more campy in a Hollywood sort of way. Another less known noir master is Cornell Woolrich, whom I am just beginning to discovery. Anyone read any of his work? Mark

    Mates: My faith in Ebay has been re-established. Last week I scored a mint condition Belvest double-breasted navy suit on Ebay for $130.00. It arrived today, and it is truly mint. Quickly became the class of my closet. I will post some pics, as soon as I figure out how to do so. Wow...

    No, I was referring to how easily those fabrics seem to wear in the crotch.

    The quality of a suit

    This really is a great thread. I have spent a lot of money on suits over the years, and I have three in my closet right now that really look and wear the best. And they are not the most expensive. I have two Golden Fleece BB three-button suits that have an incredibly dense wool that looks...

    Custom Allen Edmonds "Chestnut" Spectator Wingtips

    Those ostrich specs are incredible lookingl. As to the Allen Edmonds spring 07 offering, I thought the linen brown and white was going to be the only new spectator model. I hope I am wrong. What do you guys think about the linen thing in a spectator? How does it hold up? What happens if...

    Custom Allen Edmonds "Chestnut" Spectator Wingtips

    I have a pair of the Tramezzas, and they are terrific shoes. Probably on the order of the Crockett & Jones handgrades. Do these look to you guys like a decent facsimile of the "Golden Era" type of shoes? Mark
