Great tux, Nii. Though I can't wait for the "Satan wears notch lapel tuxedos" crowd to chime in.

Your #menswear day-time pic, however, is not winning me over. The sleeve flip and the cargos = That's personal preference though, I suppose.

Yeah - i am sure ... if it staves off the vultures - i do own a DB tux though, but it was a technology event and i knew folks would be wearing black suits, black ties and kenneth cole square toes.

I did however see a couple older guys who nailed it ... peak lapel, ventless, patent shoes ... the whole 9.

And of course Mint Juleps

I would think the derby deserves fancier shoes.
I may be wrong. Look is alright. Nothing special. i would also substitute that bowtie with a darker one (Navy perhaps?).

I agree Bourbon. The first look would be fine without the loose tie (Yes I understand it's a long day, but imo it's always a style coin flip) and turned up jacket sleeves (I think that's a cruel thing to do to jacket sleeves).
A slip up. But hey we all have them .

Cross-posted from the conservative business dress thread. I thought I'd get feedback here as well. Took a quick shot so I could see whether I thought the tie contrasted with the suit well enough. I think it looks good, not great. A conservatively patterned tie would have improved this for me.

And, no, I don't like the shirt collar either. I have Chris Despos working on some shirts for me, but they aren't ready yet.

Monday.

Tie is Winston Tailors. (No doubt it has made the internet rounds, but in case you haven't seen it, here's a close up. Having people trying to solve the riddle all day was fun in its own right...)

Boot and rally?

I'm definitely not "ivy" enough to get the riddle. I looked up the answer and still didn't get it. I blame it on the language barrier and pretend it has nothing to do with my inferior intellect.

It's called "The Baseball Tie." Here's the breakdown:

Clock = 5-4

Whiskey bottle = Bottom of the fifth

Exposed breast = One out

Toilet = No one on
