Crusty, I gotta say - I miss the goatee.

+1. Suits your face and it's an interesting counterpoint to the full-on boardroom look.


Nice combo, SG. I really like your loafers.

I just received back from BB's alterations department an MTM suit that I had made eight years ago, and which needed to be taken in due to weight loss in the intervening years. I found a shot of me wearing it in 2003, and have done some shots of the same suit today - I thought the comparison might be of interest, though August is hardly a month for three-piece suits in most of the Northern Hemisphere . . .

Crusty, I couldn't get the damned thumbs up comment to work. Congrats on the weight loss. Looks great!

Crusty -

You look like an evil genius with the goatee. I somehow see you sitting there, sipping cognac, and planing on how to extort money from the poor and kill children.

would a lap mammal be appropriate or would it be to much?

these look like harem pants.

for my tastes, a lot of your suits are on the border of too baggy in the trousers, but this looks like you had some size 40s taken in 8 inches.


Trou have been unaltered from the standard 32" that came with the coat. I've recently dropped a bit of weight, so they should come in 1/2"-1". I may slim the seat of the trou as well.

it's interesting. In the past, I have heard that many of my suit trou are too tapered for the sack coats. Recently, however, it seems that the pendulum has swung.

In case anyone was curious, there's a brand-spanking-new Nordstrom opening here in Nashville on September 16, and I am working there selling ties and such. :) These photos are not morning-fresh, but anyway...


Is that going to be at Green Hills? My corporate offices are in La Vergne so I am a BNA guy at least twice a month. Congrats on the gig!
