I'm 20, so all of you are dinosaurs to me regardless.

Maybe there's some hot females working at his office. Don't blame the man.

Thanks Gentelmen - but I'm 62!

On further reflection, this matter might best be handled via pm. Long hours overnight waiting for news in a hospital ER can cloud one's judgement.

I suspect long and narrow feet. From my own experience, I can say that these are beasts to fit.

I like your style very much. Very striking. One can always instantly recognize your outfits, even without looking at the user name.

I lol'ed. I just pictured Manton sitting at his desk in a sort of "Indian-style" feet in hands sweating uncontrollably while trying to contort his feet in unusual ways.

+1 on both counts. Butler, that suit is gorgeous.

To my eye, they just look like well worn shoes as are a lot of Manton's. I imagine most of us here don't have shoes that are a combination of age and getting as much wear as his do. My dad has some shoes that are 15+ years old and they have similar random creases that have developed over time.

That and, you'd be amazed what level of detail flash, high-res photography shows. There's a reason why women over 30 are very careful about how/when/in what conditions they are photographed.

 

[TRINI]

Who cares about creasing as long as the shoe fits and feels comfortable?

I would assume that Manton wouldn't be wearing them if they weren't either of the above.

Wait. Are you insinuating that we shouldn't be lightning quick to judge things based on a single photograph taken in a single split second moment?

Blasphemy!

Ignoring the pocket square for a moment, is this in any way conservative business dress?
I'm not hoping one way or the other, just curious where the "boundaries" lie regarding odd jackets.

 

[Manton]

I'd wear different shoes, but yeah.

 

[DocHolliday]

+1 on shoes.

If sportcoat combos count, I might throw more stuff up here.

Color, style or both?


Being in creative fields my entire life (that generally do not require a tie let alone conservative business dress) I'm a real n00b in this regard... But this is the year I simplify, simplify, simplfy...
