    Leather Olympics - Your Top 3

    Huh? How can anybody claim this to be one of their favorite jackets when they don't know how it will look in the end?

    Leather Olympics - Your Top 3

    Your #3 seems to be a whole bunch of jackets. Wasn't East-West a company whose jackets are now being reproduced?

    Luxire trousers

    BTW, where is BK? Haven't seen him around the Lounge for quite a while. I agree with HBK that Luxire's quality control leaves a lot room for improvement. Their error margin cannot possibly be as low as they claim given that nearly every item I ordered had issues, some of them quite profound. On...

    Tab Collar Shirts Still Available?

    Wonderful shirt and impressive pattern matching. I wonder, it seems to be quite short. Is it intended to be worn untucked?

    Indeed. And especially for that price!

    Tab Collar Shirts Still Available?

    I often get compliments for my style. That never happened until I started wearing vintage. So people do notice and appreciate when you make an effort. They just don't know how to do it themselves because the stuff is not widely available. Most men do not like to invest a lot of time for shopping...

    Tab Collar Shirts Still Available?

    Why do you think it would be a gamble? With the right amount of marketing people tend to buy and wear the most horrible crap (Well, even without marketing; but with marketing you can sell them even worse stuff). Why shouldn't it work for good stuff when it even works for junk?

    I am not sure your assessment is correct, Claudio. Of course, these designs do not go well with charcoal Super 100s suits. But they all would look awesome with jeans, which most people wear all the time. Surely there must be a market outside charcoal suit wearers?

    I have heard dobby as well. Calico is always printed I believe.

    Tab Collar Shirts Still Available?

    Well, I wonder why they ever got out of production. Aesthetically they are far superior to bland poplin or oxford shirts. So why? Because all modern designers except the guys from Sugar Cane and Ralph Lauren should have become plumbers instead? I just don't get it.

    Tab Collar Shirts Still Available?

    Oh my. Incredible. What I really don't get is why modern shirting makers do not produce these kinds of fabrics anymore. I mean, the stuff is woven using computerized machines, right? I don't see how it would drive the cost so high that they can't afford it. It would would surely make for more...
