Anyone familiar with the label Brioni Sport? Obviously I'm familiar with Brioni, but I have never seen Brioni Sport before, and a quick google search didn't help me too much. I Found a pretty ugly sport shirt with that tag on it and was wondering if its even worth trying to sell, if not, I am only out $4. I can post pics later if needed.

Yes, if its not the most hideous thing in the world you should make a profit on eBay.

Shirt: Not thrifted. uhoh.gif

Shoes: AE Coppel, traded with a dude here.

A bit limited - I'm not set up to take full body shots for actual fit comments, let alone Dig style action shots. Just basic color combo recording here.
Nothing special:
Austin Reed Tweed
shirt - Nordstrom house brand
tie - no tags wool knit
square - no name, cream silk

OK, on reviewing the preview, it looks like I just photoshopped out a region above my pocket. I swear, I am really wearing a square, and it is NOT white. The ipod must have chosen it for white balance.
Here's the crazy thing - my students liked my knit tie but (with a couple of exceptions) had never even heard of such a thing as a knit tie. Really, have we come to this?

 

I think that looks great, TAFKA MikeH, a nice Fall (or pre-Fall) look. I love the versatility of the knit tie, especailly in this casual Fridays world we live in. Last time a wore a knit tie (a few weeks ago) some guy commented on how much he loved wearing those in the 80's. Whatever, I'll take it.

It's not like they're unstylish: Look at WAYWRN. They're pretty standard.

I had a co-worker comment that he'd never seen a knit tie before last winter, so I gave him one for Christmas.

Knit (assuming silk) ties with stains on them are basically fucked right? Saw a sweet kelly green one at a store and decided against picking it up figuring it was done for.

What say y'all about olive / army green knit ties. I've got one with a pointed end that I'm thinking I need to unleash. smile.gif

Yeah, I grabbed the first half way tweedy day I could to bust it out. High today in beer town is only supposed to hit 73.

GMMcL, I love the trou - might have to go Nantucket Reds next week one day (not thrifted - bought them myself at Murrays). Students will almost certainly comment on that though! Very cool self made square. I should probably learn to do that.

The one I had for today was on the border between olive and sage. So I say you can easily rock it with a nice tweed, flannel navy with a pattern shirt and many, many other combos.

For all you guys that like the eBay sellers who pose in what they're selling, wearing only that item and no shirt or pants, here's a new one for you.
