Thanks, and you do.

Thick and chunky donegal ftw. The context is something akin to a 1930's look. What would you replace the shirt with?

For some reason I knew one of your 70s Polos would come out today. That is one FU plaid! Nice.

I don't own anything that's vintage except for my birthday suit -- and no one wants to see that -- so I'm not playing in this week's challenge.

This is just what I wore for today's parent-teacher conferences.

 

[Mr. Moo]

Urban killed it.

 

[L_Driver]

Blue and green flannel button down shirt, jeans and desert boots with a JCREW puffy vest. I feel very mountain man at the moment with a great Movember 'stache.

By the way - how do you get your pics to always look "vintage/dusty"?

Who made the jacket Moo - TOJ? Fits you REALLY well.

You are too honest for this thread ... lol.

I like your shoes. I need to get a split toe pebble grain pair of shoes one of these days for my corduroys.

You look like you're wearing an orphaned suit jacket.​

Thanks, Nii - although Lufty may still bring out the big guns

As far as the pics go: they never turn out as in real life - the color is rarely right on. So I'll desaturate a bit. It's pretty easy to do in most programs, and online editors have 'em too. Also, for more technical magic: a wider aperture = narrower range of focus. The result blurs the fore & background, and centers the focus on the subject.
