When in the course of sartorial events it becomes necessary for one people to establish the supremacy of the garments which have connected them with others and to assume among the powers of the well dressed, the superior and dominant station to which the Laws of Style and Nature of The Eternal Tailor entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of StyleForum-kind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to their domination. Or something like that. U. S. A.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

There's no rule saying the wearer of the outfit must post it in this thread. So, if you see a fit you like from this week, you might want to post it here. Just sayin...

Sorry for the grainy pics, I know it isn't gonna help team USA's cause, but it was too dark outside. About to head into town for a few drinks.

Only the shot without me wearing it does the shirt any justice, the rest are so overexposed you can't see the texture.

I'm not sure if this is helping or hurting the cause. USA.

My humble entry for the 'Merikuns, and I'd appreciate it if both photos are included in the voting.

Navy blazer, red and white striped OCBD (for the flag, of course!), khakis, vintage Florsheim longwings, red white and blue tie.

But wait, there's more!

Yes, that blazer has Liberty Bell buttons. The tie clip says "Honest Abe" on the handle and "The Rail Splitter" on the axe head. Patriotic Lincoln memorabilia! As a bonus, it belonged to my grandfather, who was a high ranking bureaucrat in Civil Defense back in the day. The "spent a lot of time at the Greenbrier resort starting in the late 50s" kind of high ranking.

Anyway, USA! USA!

I have a U.S. passport that is burgundy. Figure THAT one out.

 

[Caustic Man]

you reside in the US as your primary residence now yes? if so, you are on team murikan.

 

[Tirailleur1]

In Lagos, Nigeria for a month

but I guess I'm Murican according to the rules






America, the land where our dicks spit fire!!!

 

[Murlsquirl]

Suck it you filthy furriners! It is a suit if you are wondering and the fit is impeccable.

 

[Claghorn]

In other words, it somehow manages to encompass your donut bloated All-American gut?
