Show off the sports coats.
Nice sports coat, Rabbit; that colour is very versatile. I still look forward to see you wearing that beautiful peak lapel herringbone jacket we discussed about time ago! ;)- Mathematicus

How you ever worn certain clothes to give others "the finger?"
That's so sad. Especially because all this casual thing started under the auspices of egalitarism. All bull.- Mathematicus

Leather Soles on Ice.
I wonder what kind of shoes did people wear in Golden Age. I mean, what the average clerk in 30s would have worn going from home to the office in a long, icy winter?- Mathematicus

About tweed suits...
I agree it's quite sloopy-looking, but I wouldn't blame entirely the waistcoat. The trousers are too low-waisted and are clearly not cut to be worn with a waistcoat. Sides and back would be still too low even with a longer waistcoat.- Mathematicus

About tweed suits...
Not sure if they have an actual shop somewhere, but I've heard positive reviews of Booksters. I'm a lover of heavier fabrics too and some of the samples in their website are quite appealing. Years ago they offered only made to order items, but now they seem able to alter patterns much more...- Mathematicus

What are you wearing today??
Today I wore my grey 50s double brested suit with late 40s necktie. Unfortunately this week the weather was really awful, so I run out of shirts with a narrower collar.- Mathematicus

I've always tried to schedule interviews on Friday, just for the fun of standind out in the "casual Friday" sloppy crowd. Surprisingly, I've had quite a lot of positive feedbacks, so maybe conformism at every price is not the golden road that many think.- Mathematicus

Show Us Vintage GERMAN Suits
I read a couple of days ago but I hadn't time to reply. Your theory is right, since "Man." stands for "Manifattura" that is a word often used to indicate mills producing suiting. "LIT" is the price, it meas "Lire ITaliane" that is to say "Italian lira", the old Italian money before euro. Aside...- Mathematicus

Looking to Buy My First Suit :)
I must apologise because I didn't specify any time reference. Of course Italian style in the past (until late 60s) was a mighty pillar. Just watch movies with Alberto Sordi to realize. In the next decades everything was mixed up, but some foundations remained untouched; I remember quite well...- Mathematicus

Looking to Buy My First Suit :)
Ahahah I wouldn't be surprised! Italy has been the birthplace of most bad fashion. Italian young men now wear mostly super skinny cropped leg trousers with too low waist and no socks. No wonder people got sick so much this winter...- Mathematicus

Looking to Buy My First Suit :)
This is music to my ears. Anyway, it looks quite good to be a modern OTR. The strange thing with waistcoat is that it's quite long because trousers have lowish rise. But let me say that it doesn't look bad at all, on the contrary the lack of any hideous buckle or shirt peeling under yelds a...- Mathematicus

Sport coat and jeans??
You can mock me, if you want, but you won't change reality. Every day I see men in underground or around streets going to the office in skinny discoloured jeans, rubber shoes and a sports coat over. People think that just adding a jacket to any outfit will automatically make it a "formal attire"...- Mathematicus

Sport coat and jeans??
I can't still see why people that choose to wear jeans need that everyone recognizes them as good looking, stylish, smart, classy or wathever you want. People keep wearing neckties, waistcoats, handmade neapolitan coats with skinny jeans and chunky boots and want this look acclaimed as some...- Mathematicus

Sport coat and jeans??
In my opinion this is a very bad look. The low rise of those jeans make him look as cut in half and the springing-out belt yelds an air of neglet that I dislike. The tie also seems inappropriate to me. If one wants to wear jeans with tweed, better to leave ties and waistcoats in the wardrobe...- Mathematicus

This is so true, often I spot men wearing very beautifully cut neapolitan coats and I'm so disappointed when I see the low rise and skinny creased legs with chunky sport shoes.- Mathematicus

The latest...
I was only exaggerating a bit! Well, I think I don't like Cucinelli's coat mostly because of the small overlap between the front quarters; it belittles the very generous V-shape that double breasted gives. Moreover the lapel, to me, lacks of that life, that widening effect we could see in almost...- Mathematicus
