DC, that is not a white shirt. Not for this challenge, or for any other purpose, in fact.


white shirt = all white shirt. every time.

Went in for the forward fitting at B&Tailor today. What the elder brother was wearing would have qualified for this challenge.

^ Saw that on Tumblr. I love their fits, but can't stand how they wear their ties....sometime hanging down to their crotch. That's not spreez to me, it's just a bad look.

I'm not a fan of the crotch blade, but I'll admit that the narrow end sometimes hangs lower than the wide on mine (particularly with 4IH knots and trousers with a higher rise).

They are a sprezzy bunch--I suspect....and hope...that their father finds it all a little bit silly.

@Coxsackie : I don't think the shoes work with this outfit (or perhaps at all) - especially taking the socks into consideration - and I dislike the texture of the shirt and everything about the tie! But the ensemble is very you... and somehow is better overall than the parts which I don't like.

That Akubra is gorgeous. Which model is that? I would have guessed it was a vintage Borsalino if you hadn't labeled it.

Thanks! Unnatural how? I usually pose with hands in pockets but figured this would give a better idea of the fit. Standing as relaxed as I can
