The Accessories Thread

Wow. That's quite old school. For functional purposes or for the look? Check out Albert Thurston, they might have what you're looking for. Also, tails and the unexpected. If you're looking for it locally, long shot.

For both. Went thru the website and didn't see any.

Wear 'em in good health. The black knit would look nice with your Zegna seersucker.

Just collected yesterday. Wearing the black knit with my new Kent Wang silver tie clip today.

I'm not looking at bands, more like the suspender type.

Can share where u buy your ties?

Sorry. Missed this post. Here, below. Other cheaper lined ties I think are good for the $ are ties by Andrews. Have one from them.

Vanda's ties are 6-fold. Not 7.

My favorite go-to-sources for ties are the following, in no particular order:

1) Sam Hober
2) Vanda Fine Clothing
3) Drakes
4) Cheap ties that are made of decent quality.

Drakes ties, particularly those with hand-rolled edges are tightly rolled, and are as good as it gets. The lined ones, are like any other lined ties.

Paging for BDC please post your tie collection photo.

This picture is a little dated already. But I'm too lazy to snap another picture. I do need another tie-rack though. Not sure if it's sold in SG.









Couple additions:

The Hermes tie immediately below looks infinitely better in real life. It shimmers and the colours are iridescent. Don't really buy ties for their brands, rather, for their silk, and colour.



Here's what they call a scarf-tie.



Here's how it can be worn:

Welcome to the world of braces! I use Albert Thurston. Once you switch to wearing braces, your life will be revolutionised. Lol. Can also check Trafalgar.

I bought them in all the colours I have ties in, so I can match them.

Here are mine:

any recommendations for suspenders?

I recently just bought a tie at KBKS for $120,

I think its been fairly underated here for the quality, all hand made in italy and better than drakes for sure

My jeweller just sent me a digital mock-up of the cufflinks he'll be making me.

Burmese jade
Diamonds

Question: Should I have the cufflinks crafted in this blend of gold and silver colour, or would it look better if it's entirely in gold?

I would think it depends on the shirt colour. By itself, monotone gold with that jade bit seems too oriental for a western attire.

Just bought a vintage Cartier Gladstone bag online.

I think it was reasonably priced.

Here's how an SAB gladstone bag looks like. The gladstone bag was coined and named after the William Gladstone, the English Prime Minister who popularised the bag. I was keen and interested in the Doctor's bag (and Gladstone bags) 7-8 years ago but somehow never got around to purchasing one because they tend to be large and cumbersome. I have a Doctor's bag I swiped from my dad though.

The one I bought. This will be the LAST bag I purchase.

Received these two pictures in the mail. They make it up in wax, and then cast it. When I saw it in my mail I thought they had made the cufflinks entirely out of jade.

Look at the jade cufflinks. I wonder what is the cost for them to be made out.
