    Haven't read the thread, so don't know if this has already been mention. Something I see men do more than women:

    Buy a nice suit or jacket, but fail to remove the little label on the cuff that identifies the brand. This is only supposed to show you who makes it in the shop, it's not the grown up version of Nike swoosh across your chest.


    I mentioned it last week. I remember my sister's arsehole of an ex turning up at their child's christening with this beaut. I could have told him but said "Nah. Fcuk him. I don't like you and see right through you". Turned out he was a cheating low life wanker in the end. Should have guess it from the label on the cuff..:D

    a suit needs a tie, you can cod yourself into thinking it looks cool ands edgy without one but it doesnt.

    as for your comments about blazer and chinos, it informs your decision to wear a suit without a tie :D

    and stop buying italian shoes get something decent :p


    Sure a suit needs a tie but you don't always have to wear it. I only have one pair of Italian shoes. Celtic Tiger years you know youself we all went a bit mad. I get my formal works shoes made in Northampton- resoled many times last years.



    ps- I am sure you look great in a blazer and chinos..;)

    There is a place in London where you can get your formal Oxford shoes etc made to order on site- old school. They take your measurements and keep it for future reference.

    Unfortunately I cannot justify prices starting from £1500.00.

    What's wrong with Italian shoes. Italian leather would be considered top quality. French fashion would be probably more prestigious but I doubt any country has better leather a d especially shoe making tradition.

    Anyway this thread just how unpleasant people can be.

    This is more of a TA but what about arseholes at blacktie events who untie their bow tie but leave it draped around their neck basically showing off that it is not a clip on. I will not wear a clip on but it goes in my pocket if I feel the need to take it off.

    Arseholes.

    a dont be so sensitive, i was pulling his leg a little as he knew.

    Northampton made shoes tend to be best, Italian shoes arent generally made to last as well, they tend to use different production methods.

    If you think about the best know, relatively mainstream, shoe makes, they are all Northampton.

    Church's (since acquired by Prada! :)), Crockett and Jones, John Lobb, Edward Greene, etc etc

    No. While I am sure there are quite a few around London but the one I am thinking of is a small independent shop- basically a shoemaker with a few staff. A few years ago and can't think of the name.
