Yes. Locals are used to me and don't give me a second look or just give a friendly compliment. Most people who know me never comment on my clothes. Unless I am in soccer clothes which is shocking to them. They don't realize I play soccer.
With non-locals it is usually very different person to person. Most people who have never seen me think I am going to a formal event, such as horse racing or a wedding. Some women wish me "Congratulations" which I ignore, because they don't understand it is a Traditionalist lifestyle and not my wedding day. Other people think it is a work uniform or my personal style. I have been mistaken in Morning Dress for a banker, a railroad administrator, a politician/council member, a magician, a hotel concierge, an industrialist, theatre/movie actor, an attorney, and people often think I work in real estate or am a real estate developer. Right now there are no tourists with Corona Virus, so the locals are actually pretty laid back being the vast majority of people don't care about my look or appreciate it. Most of the entire metropolitan area knows it's my style as they have seen me doing my thing 365 for almost 2 decades. When we get real drunk and/or coked out tourists they call me "Monopoly Man" ask me for Grey Poupon, or even a magic trick, as they stagger off using both sides of the sidewalk.
Thank you very much for your answer. You have my admiration for your courage.

It’s summer time in Norway! Though this unstructured Zegna seersucker jacket is acting all weird..

Morning Dress handmade C. 1915. It has become the most common outfit I wear. I have 14 Morning Dress "Suits" and this is my favourite even though the 2 buttons makes it more dated or vintage looking. Still elegant as ever to my own eyes. I am having my first bespoke Morning Dress made so I can wear it comfortably in the middle of the summer heat when it arrives. I will post pics when it is finished. View attachment 1397709 View attachment 1397710 View attachment 1397713

Love it!

Sorry, no robopose, no multiple pics, just happy it’s not raining.

Such a great suit and pairing. Hopefully it will stay quarantine clean.


These are all beautiful pieces, but I think they are too much together. The colors in the jacket, tie and square are clashing in my opinion.

Happy birthday. Lovely suit. You didn't tell your lady about SF's obsession with bare feet?

Nothing anyone could wear would stand out or be considered unusual where we live. Anything goes. Especially if it's nice.

Tibor, I'll bet we all get mistaken for employees, managers, detectives, and lawyers.
