hey ntb, i find myself at a dilemma. most of my ties are skinny about 2 inches at most. should i get tie bars that are 1.5 inches or 1 inch? thanks
Forget the tie bars, you should invest in some new ties. Ties that skinny are so mod-post-mod that you end up looking like an extra from the Showdown at House of Blue Leaves or some other wack shit.
Heading to California beginning of june and I don't want to go out there with a long legged bathing suit or have to wear a speedo. Could you suggest something in between with some of that classy classic beach style with which I could wear, say a polo or a shirt to go get an ice-cream? Thanks a thousand and keep it up bro.
Orlebar Brown’s mid-length swim shorts fall somewhere in between “oops, my wiener popped out” and “I’ll fuckin’ sponge this whole entire ocean with my big ol’ dick!” Cheers.
Where do you get your alterations done? I've found it is somewhat difficult to find someone in NYC to do some of the more involved tailoring tasks (eg tapering pants) effectively and reasonably
I refuse to let anyone in this city touch my valuables outside of Jean and Mary over at Sorelle on 36th between 8th and 9th. They’re the best thing to come out of Turkey since Bald Bull. On some wizard shit, homegirl took one look at a Piombo blazer and told me that she couldn’t take the sleeves in from the shoulder because it was garment dyed which would result in a white-ish fading at the seams when re-sewed. I have no idea how she could extrapolate that from taking one look at the blazer, but she did. And I was impressed.
how did you dress during your teenage years?
Dead ass, one of these crazy guidos is NTB at 16 years old. And that’s how I dressed. Errday.
Peace, NTB. I am considering purchasing an unstructured blazer. The thing that is holding me back from buying the jacket is that it only has one button on the cuff. Is it silly that it has one button or am I being silly for over thinking this?
Unless you are on some Phillip Lim or Damir Doma steez, and anything therebetween, I’d stay away from the one buttoned sleeve. Outside of those parameters, it’s just too amateurish and casual for my liking.
