Analyst Wardrobe

I haven't tried either, but having talked to one of the guys running C&tD, I'm very impressed with their emphasis on quality - matching stripes, unique pattern, semi-floating canvas, working cuffs, hand top stitching, etc. I doubt either would do a bad suit and Apagg seems to be happy with ASTF, but I've always been more tempted by C&tD. Perhaps just for the name though.

Having said that, I'd rather spend £200 more and get a bespoke suit that's fully canvassed and entirely handmade. Though I'm tempted to try C&tD to compare.

What's the deal with shirts for an internship? Interning in capital markets should I just stick with simple blue/white? What about stripes? Why does everyone hate pink?
P.S. I find just blue and white boring and dull
P.P.S. I'm no mug at matching ties with shirts

As I say to everyone, if you're looking at spending less than £500, have a look in M&S. Their decent quality ones are the best you'll get at the price, and pretty much as good as anything you'll get at under £500. If you want better, look at going to a tailor, either for the off the peg suits or getting MTM or bespoke.

Yeah C&D seem quite good despite being new to the game. They also offer tailored overcoats, reckon it's worth it to get a tailored overcoat?

Hmm, Cad & Dandy, Suitsupply or A Suit That Fits, I feel another poll coming on...

Depends whether OTR overcoats fit you.


I bet if you did, you'd have a hundred uninformed opinions.

I don't think anyone on those has used them either, though one of the founders of C&tD posts on Style Forum.

Getting the deal at Sartoriani - 2 suits, 2 shirts and 2 ties (suits and shirts MTM) for £995.

Been in for measuring etc.

Will keep you guys informed on how they turn out.

Is this dark charcoal too dark? It's edging on black.

I'm not sure if this is just for suits or what but i have some work this summer working for the natural history museum, would you recommend casual smart or smart?
the work im doing is research in the archives, and in the field (obviously not asking about this), Im not sure what people where to do this kinda work. sorry

Er. Have you never been to a supermarket? It's the same story everywhere mate... do you think ANYONE ever buys cherries or blueberries at "full price"?

Repeating my earlier unanswered question:

Any downsides to wide-collar shirts?

thanks, I just realised I put the wrong one up though, I meant this one which is a little bit darker. What is up with the lapels on this?

I would personally avoid wearing peak lapels as they are usually for dinner jackets/blazers.

Or double-breasted suits. I'm actually quite a fan of a peak lapel on a single-breasted suit, however not ones that high.
