I remember when Lufty used to dress well. Those were the days.

You do? I don't.

Are you referring to the lederhosen period?

Or, as they'd say in German "The Lederhosen Period"

Actually, the chili contest outfit looked good

This reinforced my thoughts that I should just get rid of this shirt. I've struggled to make it work since I bought it three years ago, maybe wearing it 3-4 times, because it just doesn't work with anything I own.

This attempt at multiple patterns was its last hurrah, methinks.

Shirt would be swell with:

1. A solid-ish jacket, no tie, perhaps with a sweater vest under a jacket as well.

2. Under a v-neck sweater worn without a jacket.

3. Just worn alone casually. But with pants.

The shirt is fine - you just need to pair it with a simple, maybe grenadine (navy/burgundy) tie and a basic grey or navy suit. Or maybe no tie at all and a sport coat

Some of my own examples:

I see your angle here.

2. Under a v-neck sweater worn without a jacket.

Possibly this angle too.

3. Just worn alone casually. But with pants.

Pants required? Dealbreaker.

These are great examples of patterned shirts looking good with solid suits.

But this shirt itself has a dammed pink overcheck that just looks out of character with just about everything else I have. I bought it during my more whimsical days, and it's been vexing me ever since. Maybe if I had a pink cashmere tie…

Lufty - the shirt is fine, I think the the 800 lb elephant in the corner may be the tie.

*How did your chili do? I used to pay darts w/ some guys from Fishtown...

Which is why I mentioned navy or burgundy ties, not brown. It would work.

Took second in a field of 15. As one judge put it:

(Luftvier & Partner) win the award for producing the hottest food I've personally tried in my life. At one point my hands went slightly numb.

It was a beautiful thing.

I'll give it one last shot with each. I remain skeptical, but will report back.

Of course not! Well your not that young either (i'm an hounest guy) But you look good for your age and dress well!

I did not mean anything bad by it really. Thought only it was casual nothing else. My apologies acrid sheed if I offended you in any way.

Wasn't offended in the slightest. I looked completely fucktarded, which was by design (toddler-friendly clothing) yesterday, and by accident most every other day.

Carry on, noob.

Woah, not that it matters--at all--but I didn't expect you to be Asian or shave-headed! Nice colour scheme--more neutral!

Tirailleur1 said:
HHAHAH SAME THING I WAS THINKING!!!

cronicmole said:
IanGP- I'm shocked you're asian. Also, double monks don't look good with that suit and tie.

SpooPoker said:
Looks great... but...

haha well technically I'm pacific islander (that's what I check on applications

) My grandparents are from Spain...I'm a bit of a mutt. But yes, I claim 'Asian' category too
