Having some holiday fun today mixing a tartan patchwork shirt with a Blackwatch jacket. I was nervous about the combo, but I think it came out great.

You shouldn't be nervous. You should be anxious.

The weather in NYC this morning is cold and clear, but yesterday, was a mild monsoon - a near-constant rain, lasting well into the evening, an annoyance, as I had a party at the Morgan Library to attend, the dress code for which was black tie. I went one step further, breaking out my white tie ensemble for the occasion, as it's not seen the light of day in almost two years, and, essentially, just because I could. As underfoot was wet, and I expected to be standing for some three hours, I opted for patent leather lace-ups instead of opera pumps, as I needed the increased support to make it through the evening without foot pain.

To date, I do not have a top hat (the most correct form of headgear for white tie), but made do with a Homburg, as shown. As my coat and hat came off immediately upon arrival, no one noticed.

I've included a couple of photos from the event itself, to give some sense of the ambience of the party.

Attire:

White tie ensemble (jacket, trousers, waistcoat, tie) - Ede & Ravenscroft
Pocket square - Brooks Brothers
Stud set - The Persian Shop, NYC
Shoes - Magnanni for Saks Fifth Avenue
Overcoat & scarf - Turnbull & Asser
Hat - Lock, London

Gents, let’s just close the thread now. No one is going to be able to top what Crusty just showed us.

Wore this to court today. Suit is a heavyish Minnis fresco; tie is a Sam Hober mogador; shoes are cordovan from TLB Mallorca. Pocket square is cream silk, I think from Vanda. Cat is a "cow cat"—no information on maker but pretty sure made in USA.

A good retort to the indecent exposure charges, surely

Looks great

Ariston tweed today, and a cream scarf from Shibumi Firenze. Oh, and a neat vintage watch.

Lovely ensemble, but I don't know which of you looks more relaxed, you or your cat . . .

Definitely the cat. I turned him 180 degrees for the picture (he had been facing the window) and he barely opened his eyes.
