Manton,

What sort of trousers were you wearing with that herringbone sportcoat?

I have a very similar jacket and have trouble matching pants to it.

Thanks. Collar is wonderful. IIRC, you posted at some point in the past that you got for a lightly longer point, correct? In any case, I like it a lot.

Light gray flannel.

They are long, I think 4".

Thanks Manton. That is a great tie for casual outfits -- it will go well with navy too. I'll have to find out if HY or KW offer something similar. Or maybe I'll ask David at Sam Hober.

All right, I don't want to be mean or anything, but can I ask that you confine these posts to the regular WAYWRN thread? This one has a theme, which your posts do not fit.

I shaved today, therefore God loves me.

He probably thinks I'm vain, though

He probably thinks this post is about you.

Great combination. The shirt collar looks a little big, however.

 

[UrbanComposition]

A little. I lost about 10 lbs since I bought the shirt.

I am envious of your loss.

- a few reasons. I'm spending more time in Sydney than Hong Kong & as most would agree there is not much sartorial options other than Herringbone (which is all OTR for now).
- my good friend (Ethan) has left Herringbone & is currently at PJ's giving a hand & suggested I come in & meet Patrick & have a look around.
- IMO Patrick offers a great service & product that no one else can even match in Australia. The teething is now to get the pattern dialled in.

Thank you! When I first saw these show up here I felt the same way, but bit my tongue so as not to say anything I might regret. I am over that now.
