Ditch the square and maybe swap in lace-ups for monks and I think this is UCBD.

^ Just my opinion, but your spread collars shirts look better than the BD with your lapels & gorge height.

I keep my suit jacket pockets sewn shut so that I'm not tempted to carry anything in them. I carry a supper thin credit/business card wallet in my breast pocket and my keys and cell phone and other essentials in my briefcase.

2-3 red ties in about as many days? What changed the aversion?

Needed contrast in textures so wore a satin tie. Very difficult to capture the colors. By the way, I love the burgundy tie. What is it?

Not all that CBD, and not what I wore today, but I know Manton loves a striped shirt with white ground ...





(That's actually the very shirt with white ground I was talking about earlier in the thread -- forgot I took a pic that day.)

I'll speak to the groundskeeper about getting some leaves on the trees.

(my own critique is that the button stance is a little too high, lapels too slim, leather wrist strap is extraneous, and I'm sure someone is going to take offense at the lack of belt)[/spoiler]

Nice look.

I can't quite read what the pattern on the suit is. Looks sort of like a basketweave...
