I like your expression
The switch to a polo-t with Berluti slip-ons is itsef a sartorially great.
When I was 20, I used to chat with an old Hedge Fund manager “Robbie” who always had a spare set of driving shoes. Shoes were important to him. I cannot deny he was so cool at 60+ years old, like an aged St Estephe wine, that’s how I think of him.
Too many young lads now, committing horological sacrilage, by wearing a Royal Oak, with bad style. It’s like drinking a Pomerol in a highball with dirty ice cubes in it.
Wish you a great week ahead. I will remember you.

The peacocks of Pitti Uomo
Many here on this community are avid collector of fine watches, and the Venn diagram almost always extend to good manners and good dressing (suits, ties, bow ties, umbrellas, cufflinks, shoes and the formidable arsenal of menswear). Circa 2005, there was ...
There is a striking resemblance
The dandy who got all the girl’s attention, but surprisingly, only had eyes for 1 girl. I suspect this was the scenario...
Very nice pictures. Not keen on the mustard suit; it wouldn’t go down well in Yorkshire.
The three gentlemen in the second picture look very smart however, although at my age it wouldn’t be advisable for me to wear white trousers. Regards Kev.
British tailoring style coming soon
In a few weeks, I will formulate an article inspired by Saville Row, perhaps a “virtual walk” through the street about the houses and their signature style. I like the looser fit of the British suits, and the rakishness of the Italians.
Only if it blends in with the crowd
We plan on visiting a few ADs in Frankfurt next week and this gives me some ideas!
So, pick your poison ;)
British sensibilities or Italian Rakishness. Shoes: Goodyear welt or Blake Stitching?=D
I generally like these styles a lot -- not necessarily what I choose for myself (e.g., I *always* wear a jacket when I leave the house and never a tie), but very sharp, great looking!
I'm actually sure it's common for members of this site, who are interested in horology at very high levels, to also enjoy other fine things in life. It can be quality dressing, or cars, food, travel, etc. (we even have dedicated forums to excellence in so...
Salute to that
Always a sport jacket, that itself is a sartorial habit that 70% of modern man somehow forgot to do/replaced with a hoodie.
Okay. Got it.
So the second picture is definitely not of Fab IV, Fab V and John Cazale's younger brother.
I love fine threads but care less how it’s put together now
Very interesting topic you have here and certainly it resonates with me. I’m embarrassed to say how many Kiton suits and sports jackets I have in the closets, but since March 11th I’ve worn a suit twice. I’ve been wearing a lot of sweatpants and earphones...

I have actually put aside all my watches that require nice clothing.
In truth, except for exercise, I literally have not worn socks or a button-down shirt since early March. All my watches that require sleeves, and even those that look good with a polo-type shirt but not with a t-shirt, are on sabbatical.
I hate to dress up. In fact I forgot how to tie a tie or bowtie.
The only time I wear a suit is for maybe the 4 galas I’m expected to attend and donate to every year. And every year it takes a good 10 tries before muscle memory kicks in to finish the tie. I mainly wear workout clothes as I find it comfortable and easy....
Thanks, it’s really a versatile watch if you allow it to be:)
No chrono function, but the car has that so who cares. ...
You are similar to the person I wrote about
The elderly hedge fund manager Robbie, who drove a similar car (his was a 911 turbo) and always had a spare set of Todds or Prada driving shoe in his car.
Whoa 42 is elderly these days?:)
Although mentally I might be 80 physically I feel ok.
It goes well!
At least u bothered to change into pyjamas. The concept of pyjamas seems lost through erosion of time; and replaced by other options. I wear pyjamas too. They make for better sleep hygiene and as a testament to self-love.
No taste with cloth
I have totally no taste with cloth. Admit, my taste is developing with cloth i chose fitting my watches. I bought a light blue trousers and with a clean white t-shirt it looks perfect in combination with my Baume and Mercier Classima. Last i had a short t...
Difficult choice
I like both, and honestly i like german cloth the most. Trousers from Brühl. But out of the two u say, i chose the Italian way.
