The Fashion Thread... personal tastes, musings, and recommendations

Comme Des Garcons do a good line in polos.

Id never hear of them before, good tip thanks mag.

Fred Perry, they have a million different styles as well.

Hmm how did I overlook that?

Added a Stefano conti jacket to my wardrobe today to finish off an outfit with the red Levis... Shall be seeing how well this combo works out in manchester tomorrow :)[/QUOTE]

Pray tell, what particular sequence of events might lead you to determine that the combo has worked out well? If you return home with your nose on the outside of your face?

I think he pulled in the gents? According to a thread in motors...

Not surprised tbh looks like a fudge packer..

This is the thread for such a question. I'm wearing a new work shirt today and just noticed that on the cuffs there's a button hole on the same cuff end as the buttons themselves, what's the point of this? I can't see anyone putting a cufflink through this as it looks odd since you can see the buttons...

I expect I'll be corrected shortly, but I'd imagine it was to give you a choice of cuff link or button on the basis that if you want to use cuff links, you remove the buttons. It is odd though.

 

[mrk]

I thought that but then you'd want the cuffs to fold over before inserting the link else the cuffs look too thin with metal links attached.

 

[dirtychinchilla]

That is odd...I don't know then!

Guys, any advice on decent, slim-fitting Polos?

So far my options are:

• Superdry (slim fit and rare in the country I live in)
• Paul Smith (pricey but nice and also pretty rare to see)
• Next (cheap, slim, more for your moolah)

Ralph Lauren is also an option but also pricey and common as muck here.

Any ideas?

It's so you can do the cuffs up the other way if you want to, i.e. sew the button on the other side.


[complete guess]

 

[mrk]

That's pretty mental then!

Oh well

It's called a convertible cuff. It means that should you so wish, you can remove the buttons and use a single cuff shirt with cufflinks.

 

[mrk]

I'm tempted to see how that feels/looks now but if I remove the buttons I really CBA sitting there sewing them back on. I bought another shirt at the same time, just a different colour and that has double cuffs.

First time I've seen convertible cuffs.

You can try it without removing the buttons dufus

 

[mrk]

No ****, I'd prefer to see it without, which is why I mentioned it.

every time

Or even sow it up.

I have had a pair of Vibram FiveFingers for just over a year now but not really getting chance to wear them much. When I have worn them I get so many mixed views: From people loving them or either generally just taking the **** out of them. I think they are better than crocs any day!!...

My questions is.... Has anybody got these and what are peoples responses have you've had?
