Over Christmas holiday, I’ve been reading lots of Blake & Mortimer to my sons, educating their sartorial eye through bande dessinée. It strikes me that Edgar P. Jacobs often liked to draw characters who don bow ties with their DB’s, hence the bow tie and DB blazer fit today, for my eldest son’s birthday.
Smalto bespoke blazer thrifted at Albert’s. Boggi shirt. Brooks Brothers bow tie. Kiton flannel trousers thrifted on eBay. Drake’s ps. Crockett & Jones oxfords.
Thrifted on eBay: Kiton S180’s ultra-light needlehead suit. Di Castri tie from latest Boivin bunches. Vicomte A. shirt with bespoke tab collar by Courtot. Red braces with brown leather trimmings by Brooks Brothers. Drake’s silk hanky. Brown oxfords by Aubercy.
Thrifted on eBay: the second of 3 Tommy & Giulio Caraceni (Rome) bespoke suits I found on eBay, this one is muted PoW. Swann & Oscar tab collar shirt. Di Castri tie from the latest Boivin bunches. Drake’s slik hanky. Brooks Brothers silk braces. Stafanobi shoes thrifted Chez Albert.
Perfectly attired for the monthly lunch of Le Pyramidion, the fortysomethings of L’Automobile Club de France, one of the few remaining holdouts of sartorial excellence in Paris, along with my other club The Traveller’s.
Today’s look, inspiration circa 1985, full Wall Street Gordon Gekko regalia: Paul Stuart suit thrifted on eBay, Thomas Pink shirt with white bespoke collar by Courtot, Laco paisley tie, Brooks Brothers red silk suspenders, oxblood wingtip brogues by Finsbury.
Paul Stuart is an iconic american RTW brand, not found in Europe. Manolo Costa used to work there. For my money, I think Paul Stuart’s house style is nicer than Oxxford’s, at a fraction of the price.
Brooks Brothers unlined 3 roll 2 silk & wool checked blazer, made in Italy, with a Boggi splayed collar mail shirt.
