cheers.gif thanks, crusty!

Yup, thats the tie.

I regularly get mistaken for someone in my mid 30s as opposed to 27. This is probably a combination of being in Korea (where a combination of genetics and make up...including on men...has everyone looking a decade younger), the way I dress, not shaving regularly, and a less than stellar skin complexion. I never let it get to me as I stopped feeling as if I were in my twenties the moment I graduated from college.

It did kind of suck that my future mother in law had been operating on the assumption that I was born in the 70s the first several months after meeting her.

I am actually more concern about the mickey mouse pocket square.

 

That's not a cause for concern. That's a cause for awesome.

 

Mind you, Scrooge McDuck would have been even better.

 

I just googled for a Scrooge McDuck pocket square. There's a gap in the market, folks.

Don't take it to heart fellas. I cheerfully admit to being a crap judge of age. Maybe it's the combination of no hair on head and hair on face that triggers some suppressed subconscious association with advanced years.

Holdfast - any light to shed on that? biggrin.gif

 

Yeah...

I got the same "you look a lot younger" comments (and I'd only worn it for a few months or so at the time anyway). Got the same reaction after I switched haircuts recently too. It's a nice comment... but it does make you think, "if I look so much younger now, just how ancient did I look before?! And why didn't you gits tell me anything then?!" lol smile.gif

It would not take too much paging backwards in this thread to see holdfast with a beard, and I had a Van Dyke until March 2011, at which point I removed it, much to the acclaim of virtually all posters to these fora. The reaction was much like that for holdfast, "You look x (5, 10, 15, 20) years younger". As the Van Dyke was getting greyer with every trimming, I was happy to see it go. ( I will PM you with a "before" photo).

As for Mafoofan, a beard would look unnatural in the extreme. Between his physical stature and his general mien, especially with his last photo posting, with no glasses and somewhat spiked hair (showing off his Rubinacci greatcoat - which was great in many ways), he would look as natural as a middle-school student growing a beard.

I can do my part, and fulfil the first of your three wishes. First snap is from Feb 2009, the second from April 2012. Leaving aside the beard, you can see my hair getting thinner (with a few extra greys; not so obviously visible) up top over the years, and even more so nowadays. Hence finally accepting fate, and changing hairstyle a month or so ago, as you know from my recent pics. Big sigh... laugh.gif

 

 

Actually, it's been kind of funny going back to more or less the same hairstyle now that I had as a teen. It's thinner (and shorter) than it used to be, of course, but I do find it looks better now, and everyone I know has agreed with that. So it's good really. smile.gif

Happy St Patricks Day, guys.

Looks nice Williams - change out the shoes to brown (walnut?) and you're good to go! Also maybe a more casual shirt collar style like an (puts on flamesuit) OCBD or whatever

(edited for clarity)



Holdfast - I meant to comment this a few pages back on looking at that Friday picture drop, I've been around long enough to remember the ol' Holdfast of 3-5 years ago. You've still got that flair but I have noticed your jacket shapes have changed. I always thought your SC / suit jackets were a bit oversized and particularly long and these new ones are a much cleaner fit. Just $0.02.
