The buttons on the jacket may be a bit closer than we are used to, but ... that ain't bad looking.

I am unfamiliar with the company. Are its products any good?

 

[skyvue]

I have some of their shirts and like them well enough, though I generally wait until they are offering discounted sale prices before purchasing.

I got a fabulous pair of spectators on sale from them a couple of years ago. I'd put them on a par with Joseph A Banks, a notch or two below Brooks Bros., but still very good, and good prices.

 

[skyvue]

Did you find their shoes to be fairly true to size?

 

[dhermann1]

I have problems finding shoes that fit well. I have narrow and very flat feet. These are 10M (D), and they're just right.

 

[Feraud]

I remember those specs you bought. A good lookin' shoe.

 

[Matt Deckard]

It's about time.

 

[Fletch]

The shoulders are gonna be boxy, and the trous will pinch in the crotch. But it's gotta be that way. That's the price you pay for living in the 2010s and not going bespoke.

 

[Jingo Mastapone]

The pants are arguably the more important half of the package here. Are they hollywood waisted? Or higher at all than typical pants these days? If not, the look is incomplete, in my opinion. I feel that pleats look super dorky without a high waist.

 

[Dr Doran]

Not as high as you and I might want, I'm afraid.

I have a few things by them. They have some good ideas, as you can see. They are not members of the Fedora Lounge by a long shot, needless to say.

I also usually wait until their stuff is on sale.

 

[Selentino]

Lots of stuff from them. Have the boots I posted about in another thread they are going in the right direction but not quite there yet in my opinion but some of the stuff is fun

"Vintage has gone mainstream" lots of the stores here in town show suits, ties, argyle vests, spectator shoes, even Calvin Klein models have had to get decent haircuts"

 

[Dr Doran]

If classic style (not really vintage in these examples) spreads, that's lovely. I enjoy looking at nicely done-up folk. Makes me feel like the world is a bit less chaotic.

Uh oh, I hope I'm not going to spark a political conversation here ... goldurnit.

^^No, you've not trolled those murky waters yet, Tim...

Not quite the look some of us would like to see, but I think it looks good. And nice to see a decent haircut.
