2005!!

I was some 15 years younger 15 years ago.

This is existentially disturbing.

I won’t sleep well tonight.

Thanks for the memories. :shock: :shock:

Re: Advice wanted: re-building a wardrobe

Mariano.
Noted.
Perhaps we are on crossed signals.
That can happen easily on the nets.
In any case, I wish you good luck and all the best.
Over and out.

Re: Advice wanted: re-building a wardrobe

Saludos Mariano ! I think that the coat Frank Shattuck has designed and made for you is transformative. It appears to me that the design choices that you and Frank chose were made to both slim and elongate your silhouette. It worked. You look 20 lbs. lighter and 6” taller. And you stand and present ...

Re: Alden’s 40

Arch’s post above is very interesting. In Britain, he suggests, only those professionsals working in law and banking need to wear suits to work these days; in other professions - no need. That observation jibes with my general impressions. Also, the “Minimal Wardrobe” posts (not sure where those are...

Re: Advice wanted: re-building a wardrobe

Greetings Mariano! Exciting day for you! Thanks for keeping us updated with photos and commentary. I know that is time consuming and exhausting but hopefully worth it, as you’ll get some useful feedback from the LL members. Your experiment with OH is very interesting: if I understand correctly, Fran...

Re: A hot climate

The weather in HK, Singapore, etc. can be hot, humid and miserable. I have worked there. Put your existing European wardrobe in mothballs until you return home to retire.

Re: Advice wanted: re-building a wardrobe

Tommy & Giulio Caraceni in Rome, 61B Via Campania, a 10 minute walk from the USA Embassy on Via Veneto, are the best tailors I have been to. This includes tailors in Naples, Milan, London, Hong Kong, and elsewhere. If I could easily travel to Rome regularly, they would certainly be my exclusive tail...
