Dude, Awesome.

Might put some elbow patches on this jacket, and when the weather finally turns I may take 1" off the bottom as well.

This is not the "You must wear a white shirt, solid gray or navy suit, plain tie and black stitch caps" thread. It's about dressing with a little flair without going overboard.

Outside of a handful of the most conservative firms in London and maybe one or two other cities in Europe, brown shoes have been perfectly fine with a gray suit for probably the last 70 years.

Get it?

Parker, what brand and model are the shoes? what material is the square? I have always liked the way you dress, I am glad you started posting in this thread. This outfit is awesome

Manton, where is the tie from and is it a grenadine?

Length looks good to my eye.

i got that previously, but i wanted to make sure i understood. "no black with tan/brown" is probably the most common "fashion rule." even someone who dresses like **** has probably heard of it. that's all.

Manton, is that a burgundy or brown grenadine? By the way,where is it from,Ed's Panta?

Lovely fabric on the suit, Manton. Details?

Parker, are the stripes that noticeable IRL?

The baby Jesus loves black shoes. But yours do look nice.
