I was just kidding. No big deal.







But get your feet off the flag.

I'm not even American any more and I was offended.

I'm not even American any more and I was offended.

And I am somewhat offended that your not American anymore. Would rather be American and offending folks than not American and not offending anyone.

 

[Caustic Man]

Nationalism is a funny thing, isn’t it? If you are stateless, or have multiple states, things get complicated very rapidly.

 

[Veremund]

And I am somewhat offended that your not American anymore.

Really? Huh. Why?

 

[Betelgeuse]

Not the newest picture but I quite like it... so here is my entry from Poland. No national colours, however the jacket has been made by a Polish tailor.

This is nice. @blekit has competition.

 

[Blake Stitched Blues]

@IEG You look great.

Is accidentally standing on a flag a weird American hanging offense?

 

[Caustic Man]

It is an offense that, among other things, has been enshrined as a First Amendment right.

Thanks. I very rarely get away with anything on this forum without criticism.
I should be used to it.

TEAM CANADA

Akin to the Hungarian skier in the Olympics, I am representing Canada for this contest. Still a Canadian citizen, through and through.

@crdb - I have lived in the Southern United States for most of my life, but I am still an expat.

Alright then, one more for Poland from me. Just like @Wild Strawberry Rabbit, I'm going to post a fit from some time ago and I will restrain from using national colours (although they are present in accessories). Instead, I present to you a fit in which almost every element has been made by a Polish company or craftsmen. The only things that weren't are Tyrwhitt shirt and Yanko shoes (though they were bought from the local distributor).

Spoiler: Details

* hat from Polkap
* bespoke suit made by Krupa & Rzeszutko
* Tyrwhitt shirt
* tie and pocketsquare from Poszetka
* Yanko shoes
* bag from Miler Menswear

@blekit @Wild Strawberry Rabbit Strong entries! Are there any guides or resources online covering the world of Polish tailoring? The only one I've ever heard of is Zaremba.

 

[blekit]

@Lucido there is an Internet forum similar to SF which is the best source of information about Polish tailoring, shoemaking, etc. but it's obviously in Polish so I'm not sure it'll be of any use to you Zaremba is the best known and often considered as the best option when going bespoke, but there are several others that provide very high quality service as well. I'd definitely count Krupa & Rzeszutko (where I made my two suits) and tailor who made jacket for @Wild Strawberry Rabbit among them.

American relaxing after work. Blazer and pants from Oxxford, shirt from Ledbury, Brooks Brothers 9/11 Memorial tie (proceeds went to fund the memorial in NYC), Allen Edmonds Chelsea boots and belt. Kentucky bourbon. No flag pin required as I know where I’m from.
