Rose

A sweet reminder that hope blossoms in all generations. “ROSE” proudly wears her ping ribbon emblem to show that, when it comes to hope, even a very little girl can make a big difference. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this bright-eyed beauty will be donated to breast cancer research, which can benefit so many lives in all generations.

“ROSE” is fully jointed, crafted in vinyl, and has precious, hand-painted features…right down to the touches of rosy color on her cheeks. She’s dressed in sweet frills and rosettes, and affordable priced. To bring hope tomorrow.

“Rose” is approx. 6 ¾ inches (17.2 cm) high, seated, and is jointed to be poseable. She’s hand-numbered and comes with a matching-numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

Etro

Etro This company is quietly claiming a healthy swatch of the luxury ready-to wear market with shirts that eschew shaping, and include such details as a barrel cuff with scissored corners. The collar is distinguished by a quarter-inch that separates the edges when the top button is done up.

Lamb Chopper

Chasing sheep Lamb Chopper is a new organic sheep’s-milk cheese produced in the Netherlands exclusively for Cypress Grove Chever, the celebrated goat-cheese makers in Huboldt Country, California. Firm and nutty, it’s full of flavor and gentle enough so that kids will love it—almost as much as they’ll love the label, a sheep astride a motorcycle.

Battistoni

Battistoni Battistoni rolls the interfacing of its collar over (tubelike) to raise their edges and give them both actual and visual weight. Small notches of fabric sewn to the bottoms of side seams give strength in an area prone to tearing. In terms of shape, these is nothing excessive about a Battistoni design.

Hilditch & Key

Hilditch & Key Despite the company’s assertion that it cuts “quite a generous shirt”, the shirts at Hilditch & Key are actually quite narrow and tapered in comparison to those of other old guard Jermyn Street shops. They also are an inch longer in the back and come with an extra pair of stays. All H&K shirts are hand-pressed before leaving atelier.

Tincati To keep shirttails where they belong—inside pants—Tincati sews in a tab that passes between the legs and buttons onto the shirt front. Every shirt comes with an extra collar and cuffs for when the originals wear out; they should be laundered every time the shirt is, so that the fabric continues to match. Two deep tucks down the center of the back make for an especially smooth fit.
