Re the cufflink cornucopia: I learned recently, to my delight, that these “nameless” knots are in fact called turkshead links or (even better) turtles…
What a change of scenes! San Franscisco is such a refreshing place. How is the weather? HM did this catalog thing with the “style” of the area some time ago…kind of staged -of course-. Can you stroll to different areas and capture people with your small camera obscura street fighter?
Another term thatI am familiar with is “Silk-knots” , never heard of the other two (turkshead & turtles), always happy to learn new terminology…THANKS!
Hi Sar, Q for Charvet. In regards to the whole slim tie going on these days….what’s considered an appropriate pairing of shirt and suit and how should the neckwear be worn. Thnks.
I am a guy from SF and I thought that your photo (of the two women with the dog) captured a very distinctive “SF” look reflecting how many SF women dress, especially shopping. Their look seems a bit more subtle and comfortable than their LA or NYC counterparts. I am impressed that you selected this shot. Good eye!
Thanks for coming to San Francisco – It was great meeting you and some of your fans. It was a great group of (well dressed, of course) people and one of the most interesting events I’ve been to in a while. Anyone in the New York area – go hang out with the Sartorialist tomorrow night if you can. He’s the Man!
Thanks so much Sartorialist for your interview with Jean-Claude, who was charming and a real Old World artisan. It was a treat to see you in person as well and have a chat – the best part of the event the democratic nature of the crowd; young and not so, every race and sex represented. Refreshing!
I miss your interview segments that were common in the early months of the Sartorialist. Especially the “most over-rated, and most under-rated” answers. Congratulations on bringing to the public one of the classiest and well thought-out blogs to the web. The bar has definitely been raised by your efforts…may your success continue to flourish.
I always enjoyed wearing Charvet and Battistoni ties because they made such elegant small bottleneck knots.
However, seeing that Mr. Colban has such a large knot I realise I might need some new ties. Or, hopefully I can manage to pull-off looking Retro/RatPack!
hey Heywood Now that this is a full-time gig I will be doing more interviews and street shots etc. I have been traveling so much but the next two months are pretty easy.
The cute girl with the bright smile…3rd from the bottom…what was she wearing? I love the hair, and the bronze studs on the top. Wish you had taken a picture of the entire outfit!
The silk knots are also called ‘Bachelor Knots’. Since bachelors don’t have a wife to help them with cufflinks, these knots could be left in the cuff when the shirt would go to the launders. On the other hand, a nice girlfriend can also be a great sartorial help!

If you leave these knots in your cuffs, the whole shirt and the other laundry with be in the colour of the knot. Do try it at home.
