Desculpame, amigos
Trying to figure out this board. Are we always in reply mode on these threads? where's the spoiler feature?

I'm gonna post a couple bonus as a sort of introduction, but from this point forward all my pics will be current. Your patience is appreciated. View attachment 1357875 View attachment 1357876 View attachment 1357877 View attachment 1357878 View attachment 1357879

Hello and welcome! Now's a good time for us to experiment with outfits, I suppose.

Today's outfit: Like a Boccaccio character.

.

I suspect this summer-weight waistcoat is too close in tone to the trousers, but I figured I'd take advantage of the limited indoor audience (Sappho and my husband) to attempt a different combination. An attempt, too, at civilized standards in an age of darkness.

.

Threads cited:

Shirt: Proper Cloth

Trousers: Grady Ervin in Charleston.

Socks of mysterious provenance.

Braces: Cordial Churchman.

Items from eBay, consignment, & thrift: Belgian slippers & waistcoat from Worn in Charleston; Seaward & Stearn tie from eBay.

Naval quartermaster's pocket watch from my grandfather.

Glasses and sunglasses: Warby Parker. .

Almost done with January. I thought with my current pace I'll never catch up with posting, but at the very least that's one thing that social distancing makes easier :)

Nice jacket and shirt fits you perfectly. Not sure about the pants...the mini houndstooth check makes them look like they were orphaned from a suit jacket.

love the tie and pants combo
Tie and pants treated as a combo?
If you say so.

(Oh, now see you joined SF like two hours ago. Welcome. Won't hold the quote against you. Maybe.)

No it doesn't. They look like mini h'tooth pants. That's it. You're always picking at little stuff like that, and often wrong. Wasamatta with you? Let's get some pics of you up here. And we'll all have a go.

The rains which have fallen on NYC have finally appeared to have stopped, and my husband and I have an early dinner reservation at a fairly high end midtown Manhattan restaurant, so I've taken that as a sign that I should dress like an adult, at least for a few hours.

I am getting another wearing out of today's suit, which I wore on my latest trip to London, and have dug out of the archives a eyelet collar shirt with which to pair with the suit. I've also dug out today's silk scarf, which I would say was vintage, save for the fact that I was a witness to its purchase, when new, in 1986.

Suit - Paul Stuart/Phineas Cole
Shirt - Brooks Brothers MTM
Tie - Brooks Brothers
Braces - Lewin
Cufflinks - Deakin & Francis
Pocket square - Ralph Lauren Purple Label
Shoes - Bergdorf Goodman house brand
Overcoat - Brooks Brothers
Scarf - Turnbull & Asser
Cap - Saks Fifth Avenue
