The men's dress style thread..

It depends on the range. They have several ranges at several different price points, and like for like im not seeing much difference to Solovair. They also do a "Made in England" range which is presumably made in, er, England so,ewhere.

I have a pair of Solovairs and the BH has Doc Martens (bought second hand) and the DM's have way thinner leather so presumably some of their 'fashion' line.

Got another good buy at the chazzers today, Levis denim jacket for £14.00, not that old but in good condition so worth that.

Solovair were the original makers of Doc Martins.

Yes and are getting more popular according to reports as Doc Martens are now using 'cardboard leather'.

Accy, my typical footwear is Grafters Chelsea boots.

They typically make toetector and industrial boots, but they also do normal footwear and their Chelsea boots are very hard wearing and vry good value. Worth a look.

Solovair, called that because they have a 'sole of air'. Just in case anyone didn't know.

Top marks for choosing those socks @Accy, they go nicely with the new shoes.

Not the same colour,i have just this minute to try and get a good knot in it.i have noticed two creases where it has been on it's hanger too long,it's too late today to take it back.I should ask Accy what is the done thing with ties should it been same size back and front or longer at the back and tuck it inside your shirt,i have not worn a tie in years.

If you are wearing a two piece suit the end of your tie should be at the waist of you trousers. Given your height I would have thought you would have no problem having long at the front short at the back.

Google is my friend.Sadly i like a big knot.But styles have changed since 1968,aged 18 from that age i bought three suits a year,i kid you not.Only stopping aged 28 when i got married and had children,not enough money then.

I think just posted how long it should be in the reply just above. Anyhow you cheapskate you should have bought a 3 piece suit then no one can see the end of your tie.🫣

I found the below socks earlier. Maybe they are too much for the shoes and the above are better.🤔
