Sorry about the 90's-esque collar. I did use colar stays. This would have been better with a button-down-collar shirt, but I don't have many of those.


Would look better in my opinion if you were to roll your sleeves up properly and with one button less popped.

I don´t want to get in the way of all your sheep, "MC sucks" "No, SW&D sucks more" discussion, but I feel compelled to point this out. I´m not a native speaker since I don´t live in an english speaking country, and  I´ve never made that horrid mistake.. Yes, the one in bold. How can someone put "you are" instead of "your". Aren´t you a teacher NYR? Also, "your´s" doesn´t exist, I believe.


**** you. How's my grammar there?

That is an acute accent isn't it and not an italic apostrophe? ...just checking.

The thing is I can't even type an acute accent on my keyboard(US English layout), would have to copy and paste it from the Character Map.

i dont mind the color, but i hate the cuffs.


I don't mind either the color or the cuffs, but I think the bright summery colors and fabrics in Rob's latest fit didn't go well with the clunky all-weather shoes. It's like putting ATV tires on a sporty convertible.




This could use a pop of orange.

Less colour, more linen.


That is so right, so QFT. Interesting linen sweaters, or cotton-linen; flax, all the great light fabrics+textures that can come out in spring.

There seems to be a lot of good linen knits in the online stores right now. South Willard, among other places.

Or linen sportcoats. Tweedy things just don't work when it's beautiful blue skies in spring.

gdl is the boss pimp of this thread and all of you need to respect his pimp hand. i've seen fits from you guys and i've seen his fits, he dominates. he's also right about ugly, garish colors, although i think the reason that lots of people wear them is because they're buying into some ridiculous image of a wasp-ish uperclass dandy.

**** you. How's my grammar there?


it's funny because you're a public school teacher. schadenfreude FTW.

Yes, it's what the French call an accent de gue aigu (e.g. Déjà-vu). And when used as an apostrophe ***** up the spacing and thus impairs the reading fluency. There's a special place in hell for people who do this, right next to the people recording videos on their iphone with an aspect ratio of 9:21.

accent aigu is the word you're looking for

I guess this is business casual so cross-post (no, the coat sleeve is not as short IRL, it rode up a little and the shirt sleeve is a bit longer than it will be because it's brand new, first wear and will shrink)

I am looking to incorporate some linen in my casual spring/summer fits. Not very familiar with MC casual or dress clothing for spring/summer, I mostly have only winter/fall items. Any suggestions for sweaters, ties, jackets etc that go well together? Suggestions would be helpful or modestly priced ideas. Thanks in advance.

(Aigu, like monsieur Gé-dé-èl said. :))

Actually, ‘these’ are the real quotation marks of this typeface. The straight ones are minute marks (I hope that's the right term in English) and the double ones " are inch marks. You can make them with the alt-code 0145 and 0146; try it with a different typeface and you will see that those codes will produce the – typographically preferable – curly quotation marks. I will agree though that the quotation marks of this typeface suck.
