Foxy, why do always look so bloody happy. Aren't you ever curmudgeonly like me? I've always liked your style but please, little more hair length and shave!! That stubble look (unless I'm not seeing it right) is ok for young athletes and actors but I think as you get a little older it loses whatever appeal it is supposed to have.
Unless, of course, you really are 23 and have just had a hard life.

This is the last fit for about six weeks. All my ties, shirts, and pants, and shoes are packed and ready to be shipped back to the US. I have two jackets in progress, but when they are done, I'll have nothing with which to wear them. I figured I'd go loud one last time.
It's going to take a while for me to recover from the sight of this. Did you actually pay money for that jacket?

Claghorn, I know this might be slightly off topic, and maybe you've shared the story before but I'm a new member here. Now that you mentioned your move back to the US, I've always wondered what brought you in South Korea in the first place? Was it work-related? Anyway, great fit, I love this jacket!

^ Nice, AC.

X-post from the summer tie challenge. Attended a wedding on Saturday which meant a rare (for me) chance to wear a suit:

tie is linen/cotton/silk from Howard Yount.
Love this! Your last fit was somewhat conservative business dress on the top but you had khakis or dockers and it was like I wish he would just ditch the dockers...then I see this.

Definitely open to suggestions! Ideas? You definitely caught me on the stubble, I need a shave but it's fun to wear a suit or tux without shaving

Looks great but you are in desperate need of a hair style that meets the level of your clothes.

Reckon I'd give you a run for your money in the old age stakes. One day I'll be as brave as you and post a head shot...maybe I should anyway. Seriously, you have no problem with this clearly and with someone as good looking as Sander it would be mandatory, I'd think. So you think I should? Forget past skirmishes, it is a genuine question.

For the record, I'm a few months shy of 59, which, given the demographic around here, makes me older than average by a large degree. As for posting/not posting face shots, that is a very personal issue - I respect those who choose to do so, and equally those who choose not to do so. Personally, I think that showing fit pics without a head is a loss of context, but that's just me - other opinions may differ, and with the myriad number of places one's image can find itself on the Internet, caution in this matter is not without reason.

I went to Boston/Salem this weekend. I got this jacket from Bobby from Boston while I was there. I'm not sure about the pocket square. I tried a solid white, but wasn't feeling it. I kept everything else simple given given the boldness of the jacket.

Ah, somewhere I have always wanted to visit - Bobby from Boston that is, rather than the city as a whole! And it looks like I will finally be getting the chance in October due to a speaking engagement...

Boston can be a charming small city, and October is a good month to visit, meteorologically, if nothing else. As it happens, I grew up outside of Salem, so I am quite familiar with both places. Enjoy your visit.
