What the hell? One is dressing as an old maffia and one is posing for animal planet...
I want to point out that this photo isn't a fair representation of SW&D. It was rightfully mocked by virtually everyone.
Is errybody geared up for another day at the races in this thread? *stretches hamstrings*

I completely agree with this. I wear tailored suits etc., and decent quality coats and ties at work - partly because I like wearing well-made clothes that fit and partly because it's an ironic nod to how professors perhaps used to dress but no longer do in general. Outside of work, I don't really wear this stuff and like you I have no interest in looking like an Italian playboy or the heir to a New England fortune. I tend to wear much more SW&D types of things and I do think of things more in terms of 'fashion' labels I know I like and which work for me: so Epaulet, Naked and Famous, Gitman as well as quite a few bits and piece I have picked up in Japan over the years from Beams, Pal'las Palace, Sou-Sou and so on, plus a sprinkling of J-Crew here and there. Sometimes I do mix these things up a bit and experiment. In the past that has been rather too ecclectic, hipsterish and not really successful (see the crappy SW&D fits I posted when I first found this forum) but I am rather more careful now and have got rid of the hodge-podge of inappropriate adn ill-fitting stuff I had in both MC and SW&D modes that I had just because it seemed like a bargain at the time. I don't have the dedication to fashion that people like Fuuma and Parker do, but I do really appreciate it, and I continue to try to learn from the way that they and people like them, put things together, as much as I do from Vox, Manton, EFV, Barims and others on the MC side.
Disclosure - I have a SW-without-the-D side that very occasionally surfaces in photographs over there and figures heavily in my daily life, these days
To get the most out of them, a number of this stuff crosses over to my MC-wear, but not to the same eclectic extremes that it did when I first began here
