I think it looks good on you, but I do worry that the jumper-over-shoulders look is going to spread now...

lol ... you do know the sweater over shoulder look has been going on since the beginning of time right? i was in argentina a few weeks ago and i'd see an average of 5 people a day with it.

But were they wearing them over suits?*




*With PS and lapel flowers?**




**And photographing themselves for a forum?

Nothing new under the Ghanaian sun, fellows:

'course man - I just think it's set to explode on here à la the felt flowers...

Real nice, PG! Love thoese jackets.

Do you mind running through what the fabrics are? They look superb.

 

[spoozy]

Once more, with feeling...have a nice weekend, guys, and forgive me spamming

Felt like an olive suit day.

 

[srivats]

^ Excellent -- olive is an underused color for suits.

Great pairing with the snuff suede shoes as well.

I think I have worn it twice this year. But, it is light enough that it is year round. I appreciate the compliment!

Granted, if "that suit" is a bad-ass suit, such as this one...one can't do much better.

It is certainly "that suit." LOL.

Perhaps an eccentricity, but not that far removed.


I'm not sure what the problem would be anyway. People notice clothing or they don't. People who would notice when you wear it once a week will notice you have only worn it twice in a season and will find it odd as a result. Those who don't notice the oddity in wearing a suit only twice, wouldn't notice if you wore a paper bag.

This is my most flamboyant suit. My boss, who is rarely here, has not seen it. I am sure he would make a big deal about it. Either way, it won't stop me from wearing it.

And right you are, about certain people noticing, and others not. However, I wouldn't think I'd be in the minority if I thought that once a week would be a bit much.

I am known as the freak at my workplace. They expect these kinds of suits. LOL.

Ahhh, Friday.

Again, the tropics are boiling with Danielle up to a Cat 4. Looks like only Bermuda may see some her wrath though, which is good. Earl is languishing as a 45 mph TS. However, the faster Danielle moves out, the better chance Earl will become a major, and the further West he will go. East Coasters should watch that storm closely.

Ok, well, here is my last contribution for the week. Polo Italy blazer, Ben Sherman Shirt, vintage Italian silk knit, Black Label pants and Polo suede longwings. I think this blazer is a tad too long....but I am rolling with it anyway. Oh, I think I am getting a raise today, first one in 4 years!!

Have a great one, gents.

Mike

 

[niidawg3]

Friiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiday ... and mrs niidawg3 is out of town ... woo woo ... lol

 

[SpooPoker]

Mike - GL on getting that raise! Nii - Dont do anything you wouldnt ordinarily do tonight....

and your parking garage has a damn fine arsenal of vehicles...

 

[MrChris]

MBreinin - I'm a big fan of that shirt and tie, classic combination. Shoes are nice as well! niidawg3 - That shirt looks really interesting, too bad there's no closeup. Great briefcase! Can you supply details regarding those two items? Btw watch out for that puddle of water, you don't want to step in that with those shoes
