The Official-ish DC Thread

I ended up ditching my heaviest suits as the winters here have been so mild. (yeah, I know, 11 degrees tomorrow night!).

Making up a three-piece sounds neat. I have one F/W three-piece and wear the heck out of it DEC-FEB.

I love 3-pieces. Only have one of them in a glen plaid flannel and have been itching for a second (and a first pinstripe). The H&S City of London fabrics had kind of a dry hand so I'm thinking it may not wear as warm as a similar weight flannel.

The fabric will wear cool, and the weight won't be noticeable. However, I would not wear the fabric in the summer. You're asking for trouble.

Bold move to schedule a wedding for NYE.

Which hotel is it? When my wife and I were looking at wedding venues in Baltimore one of the places we looked at was the Belvedere, which was pretty spectacular.

I've got some high twists for the summer, this will definitely be an October - May suit.

What a bizarre concept! And a $10M investment for a beach themed restaurant/bar with no water and now sand?

I'll definitely get some pics. I think it turned out pretty well. now that it's back from minor adjustments, iits comfy, and I think it looks great. I had to have the pants waist let out a bit and jacket seat let out a pinch (fat ass..... ) To be fair to the MTM process... its my first set of trousers from Carrara, and previous jackets were double vented, so neither alteration was massive, nor bothered me.

It is a bold move.... I am actually looking forward to it.

Regarding Belvedere.... My first wedding was in the grand ballroom of the Belvedere. and good friends got married there a few years ago.... very nice venue.

Oh very cool, I attended a NYE wedding before the start of Covid. Enjoy!!!

Nice, and thank you.

No one wants to see me in a speedo, I'll be the guy in the shade wearing linen pants and camp shirt.

haven’t been there but now I can’t get images of middle-aged women in animal print dresses 2-3 sizes too small for them.

I took my wife here on our second “date” during our Covid walks. The food is really good, but the restaurant is supposedly pretentious.

I didn’t mean to get wasted at 1 PM on a Saturday. I only had one drink, but not only is the frosé at Millie’s incredibly strong—it is a mix of vodka, wine, and sugar, after all—but there’s something like a tear in the space-time continuum here, a suspension of reality. One drink is not
