Do you have your jackets made to be long or is it just how it works out based on the pattern and your height/proportion? I wear L jackets and still can't get them long enough in most styles. Yours look great.

Navy trousers here also - but as part of a suit. I have never been able to see what was 'wrong' with odd navy trou anyway.

This outfit was worn for a funeral last week and will also be regarded as a rule-breaker here, as my Budd tie is dark navy rather than black and in a less-than-formal knit. I noted that around half the men wore a black tie and most certainly respected the 'dark clothes' theme...but not all.

I usually go by measurements. I think around 29in is my preferred length … +/- 0.5in. I’m only 5’6”, but also shrinking due to gravity and age.

^ It would appear to be a day for suede shoes - see below:

It has been a week since I last donned a suit, a combination of meteorology and tasks for which a suit would be a liability. It is good to get back into dressing up, so that I do not lose my status as "jaunty flaneur".

As it happens, this evening I have a double header of museum receptions/previews - the Met and the Modern, so there is something of an excuse for me to wear something better than jeans, a buttondown shirt, and sneakers.
