Ultimately true.

You can't change on the knicks though. At least I can't.

Knicks was even easier as I don't really follow basketball. It is fitting for Brooklyn, two truly second rate teams, the Islanders and the Nets (part of what I love about BK is the charming inferiority complex it has to its big brother across the East River).

Back on topic, PB, thats a shocking makeup for you, truly shocking! All you'd need to do is tell me you're having a few white shirts done with it for me to think that the world has gone to the dogs!

I actually picked up a couple of white shirts two weeks ago.

BTW, I think Brooklyn has a SUPeriority complex compared to its big brother across the river. smile.gif

Oh and I am getting forward pleats on this one. The first time I am wearing pleats since I cannot remember.

I thought about it, but I think it would go to waste because at around 17oz it is going to be an effort not to sweat as it is.

I was just talking to Frank the other day about doing one forward pleat on my next suit. What is up with all this Ercoles ESP Groupthink?

I think the 1 fwd pleat is a cool idea...I saw a guy at MSG with that style trouser and thought it looked good...one day, maybe on my Airforce Blue Minnis Flannel, whenever I get that made up.

I received 2.5m of this as a creative Christmas gift but it's not for me. PM if interested. A bit darker and richer in person than the photo suggests.

Why no love for it? I have a lenght too and it looks very good, I'm sure it will make a great sport coat.

Call me a coward. I guess I don't know how to wear it. I like my motifs more micro. Besides, I have a smaller houndstooth that I like just as well. bored.gif

Fwiw, I don't think small houndstooth looks good, bigger size is much more preferable for a coat. The cloth is hefty and spongy and I wish it was less bulky but color and pattern is nice. It would go well with chinos, jeans and obviously with grey flannel.

Yes, spongy for sure. Hmm. If no one buys it soon you may persuade me to reconsider. Though I am mostly a solids man, and from there springs my resistance.
