    Bespoke shoes: Edward Green Trunk Show

    Classical glass

    It's been all down hill since Denny's switched from using glass Heinz ketchup bottles to using the plastic squeeze bottles. It's much easier for a restaurant to us the all red bottles in order to keep that presence of always being filled, though it's plastic. The upside down bottles that...

    Inverse pleats

    I'm a fan of inverse pleats. They look fantastic when domne correctly. they slim you down and make you look more sporty. I'm not a fan when they are done on low waisted trousers with a narrow cut and done too far apart to look like they belong on the trousers. This is a bad example that...

    The self belted waist

    One of those things they don't often get right nowaday. I think it's mainly the pleats that aren't right... the trousers aren't cut full enough to hang with a crease. Anywho. The self belted trousers. You don't need to ad anything other than the jacket and trousers. No belt. No suspenders. It's...

    Show off the sports coats.

    Probably had a thread on this a while back, though think it needs a rehash. I bought this jacket at the Camarillo Brooks Brothers outlet back in 2002. It served me well everywhere and I wore it to death. I wore it to the point where friends were offering me jackets to get me out of this one...

    Byrnie Utz

    Went to Byrnie Utz in Seattle... That's a nice store. Lots of hats from which to choose... probably the largst selection I have seen in one shop outside of custom hatters. I do like the fact that they know a bit more about their product than the average retail hat shop owner, ever have...
