    Formal Wear Primer

    I've never seen a full back in that style. My buckle-backs are actually thrift store finds so they were pure luck. The only thing I can suggest is to find a good tailor and supply him with good photos and pictures...

    Shuron Ronsirs: Not What they Used to Be

    I've been wearing modern Ronsirs for tha past 3 years and have always been disappointed in their flimsiness. I keep my eyes open for a suitable replacement but no luck ...yet. Thanks for being a reputable voice to the company!

    What do you think of this idea? (Summer wedding attire)
