The question was: is a monogram on a dress shirt in a business context too much?

So, I would say definitely not, but I do have a preference on where the monogram should be.

I’m someone who, when it comes to style, really views subtlety as a virtue. I don’t like to show off. I don’t like flashy things. I’ve always said that the best details are the ones you don’t necessarily see.

So, in terms of a monogram on a dress shirt, what I see a lot of guys do is to put it on the cuff, and to me that’s just a little too show-offy.

Personally, I always get my shirts monogrammed on the left stomach and usually in a thread that’s a similar color to the shirt itself so it’s not super obvious.

But that’s me, that’s my personality, and ultimately what matters most to looking and feeling your best is that you make choices that are true to who you are.

The question was: which version of the JLC Reverso do you own?

I own the Reverso Classic Monoface in pink gold.

The size is basically 36 x 21mm, which I believe is considered the medium size. I have a 6.5 inch wrist and this size I think is perfect, especially for a dress watch like this.

It’s manual winding. Black leather strap — though I also do have a brown one that I swap out from time to time.

And on the back I have engraved one of my favorite quotes from William Powell as Nick Charles in “The Thin Man,” and it reads: a dry martini you always shake to waltz time.

Here’s a quick explanation of the differences between custom, made to measure, and bespoke when it comes to tailored clothing like suits, sport coats, blazers, shirts, and trousers as well as how He Spoke Style provides a service and experience as close to bespoke as possible at a made to measure price point.

Custom basically means that you are able to “customize” parts of your suit. So you can choose the fabric, buttons, pocket style, lapel style, etc. When you’re talking specifically about custom and customization, none of these choices have any effect whatsoever on the size or fit of the garment.

With made to measure, you get all the customization options but you also have control of the sizing. You work off a pre-existing pattern that’s as close as possible to your size and then you’re able to dial in the measurements so it’s more tailored for you.

Now, some companies only allow you to make certain changes but at He Spoke Style we give you control over 15 specific measurements to help you get the most perfect fit possible.

With bespoke, everything basically starts from scratch. Based on your measurements, a unique pattern is created specifically for you. And you have pretty much unlimited control over every detail, which is why bespoke suits are so expensive.
