• Online Retailers

For those who do not have unlimited research time here are some suggestions on where to find quality versions of the rarer classic accessories. These garments are often available only from the most discriminating of haberdashers so don't expect Wal-Mart prices. And if you live outside of the United Kingdom (motherland of all things formal), be prepared to do a lot of overseas shopping.
