I don't know your age, but I don't usually work with "kids" so I'm likely to give an opinion suitable for an adult. (Hence the E. Hardy avoidance). My direct email is

Thanks AnnSOS, but I'm now beyond the point of no return. A reverse form of transmogrification has
already taken place here. I doubt that after tomorrow night I'll ever look back. In fact, I'll probably wonder how I ever came to doubt myself at all. However, you know how after cleaning your vintage 1938 Bugatti Roadster, the paintwork is clean and bright but still missing a certain something? You know how after you've summoned up so much spittle to clean your boots that you're left half a stone lighter? Well that's how I feel about my blind date seduction jacket. It is indeed magnificent, but still missing a certain something. Maybe a pocketsquare and/or scented rose for the lapel is needed. Whatever it is, I'm sure I'll be able to figure it out. Thanks again Lear (fully formed & ready to fly the sartorial nest)
