So any of you diehard fans of collecting the above?

I kinda like Paul Smith socks but they never bring in Asian sizes in their boutiques here.

I'm always on the lookout for nice socks and pocket squares (the yellow one below is a Ferragamo one someone gave me)

If you are going to show off your PS, show off your suits too. laugh.gif

actually i don't use suits that much. my current working suit is in dire need of a change as it's quite shabby now (i think it's around 10 years old) and seen a lot of mileage.

currently my PS all use to blow nose one... rclxms.gif

jind86 - lacy???? and white socks too?? tongue.gif

i have a soft spot for argyle socks though...

Sartorial blasphemy!! Get a seperate handkerchief!  tongue.gif

Agreed. Argyle socks deserve more love as plain socks are boring.

i love argyle socks. i've got a few but always on the lookout for more colourful variants.

i've bought some from robinsons, gap, uniqlo, etc. i also saw some in M&S.

anyway i was shopping for some nice PS last weekend. didn't find any colourful printed/textured silk ones at all! ferragamo, canali, gucci, etc zilch! i didn't bother to step into hermes to check though as i know if they had any, it would be over my budget.

thomas pink had some plain looking cotton ones going on offer for RM99.

there are quite a few places that one can look for some nice cotton/silk PS now... especially in Robinsons, Aquascutum, Brooks Brothers etc. even My Tie Shop has some micro fiber ones.

Lanatir, the silk PS how do you launder them?
*
u can either treat them like silk ties and send them to the laundry for professional cleaning (kinda expensive if u got many) or handwash them gently in mild soap and air dry (lightly squeezing out the water and not wringing them violently).

Have none. But will never put on clip-on suspenders. Buttons all the way.

Btw i didnt mention that mine are buttoned to my pants. (I removed the clips as the pants that i use with braces have buttons sewn in)... Bcos i knew one of u will come here and advocate buttons only.
