peer agreement (net): +2boutons de la chemise de smoking Explanation: These are not collar studs but tuxedo studs which a type of decorative button worn in place of sewn on buttons on the front of a tuxedo shirt. I can't find any use of them in France. I did find a reference which said that the tuxedo shirt buttons should never have any obvious buttons and which spoke of bad American television series ;-) so maybe that is why :-) Dress studs and collar stiffeners [picture of tuxedo shirt studs] http://store.dunhill.com/UK/Eng/PagesPublic/browse3.aspx?p1g...

Celles-ci n'ont jamais de boutons apparents et toujours un col cassé haut. Seuls les américains des mauvaises séries télévisées portent le smoking avec un col bas. Les chemises des habits et des smokings doivent être particulièrement immaculées. Portez-les chez le teinturier après chaque utilisation. http://francois.darbonneau.free.fr/habiller/habiller2.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 days (2007-03-16 22:40:25 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Thank you! :-) |
