I have these two, they are both excellent.
Srsly? Press the little icon to the left of the paperclip and follow the instructions. Very easy.

In principle, I like this one though it has a "red white and blue" feel to it so I wonder how it would work (I think it's actually brown not red, but nevertheless...).

Honestly, I don't spend that much time on Style Forum these days and trying to spend less time, so embedding pics is not something I devoted much time to figuring out. But I wanted to get those lovely Vandas up!

I like the easy going camaraderie of this thread and I find myself checking it periodically despite trying to stay away. People do seem to be genuinely good-natured and short conversations like this one on striped ties still give me ideas.

BTW: what do you pair the Vandas you highlighted with?

JR, do you mean a few pages back? Otherwise someone else.

I think you were helping me with spit shining my shoes a few months ago, but I still suck at that.

Ah, It was Academic2, sorry. Just slightly associated with each other in nature.

The fold of that PS follows the design thats printed on it.

 

[Claghorn]

Oh ****! Right on. I was trying to find something along these lines:



The Shibumi has a bit more brown, though it might just be the picture. Regardless, I think the Vanda might be a smidgen more versatile because of the yellow

Guys, it's too hot for quilts.

the fashionz do not care about "too hot."

I have these two, they are both excellent.

Noodled. Alright. Sleep time for me.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

very nice, but not really much like braddocks that you like imho.

Hmmmm...I should sneak into Stitchie's closet and try on his Formosa(?) suits and see how they fit and run away.
Am I crazy?

Personally I don't find it to have much of a 'Murica feel but YMMV.

BTW: what do you pair the Vandas you highlighted with?

The brown raw silk I like to wear with cream/off-white linen jackets and suits. The wool one I think I have worn with a gray flannel suit.

Yes, he has much broader shoulders than you. Your issue seems to be that you buy a size too small to fit around the chest and shoulders, but it doesn't hang right from the nipples down, tugs on your belly, and is too short. I fear you might have the same issue here. But I don't have a Formosa suit, so I'm just guessing from your and Stitchy's relative proportions - as they appear, anyway.

Noodles is in denial guys. He's trying to squeeze himself into that 38R... and he's selling both of his 40Rs on the B&S.

Basically, he's selling all of his well fitting stuff, and keeping the ill-fitting stuff. BAD NOODLES!!!!! Poor decisions. This is worse than the NM tie meltdown.

He needs group support. In a tail spiral. Regressing to his previous state concerning sizing!!!!!

He said this about the grey Zegna via PM

I got [the grey Zegna) altered but the pants need to be a tad longer and the theigh area needs to be tapered. The jacket feels really big but that is because I have been only wearing tight jackets. But the color just does not go with the color of my skin. I doubt I will be able to get much but it is up for sale.

@Rudals can you post the fit pic of the altered Zegna jacket? I don't want you to make a mistake!!!
