@upr_crust Interesting configuration of the cuff buttons on your jacket. Is that a house style, or something you requested?

The cuff button configuration is the standard house style for New & Lingwood - all their jackets have buttons, two pairs of two buttons on each sleeve, with a small space in between.

Tweed, flannel, and a snug Blackwatch vest. I definitely need to have this taken out. It was slim before the pandemic. Now it’s tight.

I love the snag in the fabric of the vest. What a wonderful detail, and shows the age of the garment, that it's been worn, etc. Not to jump back into the discussion about buttoned or unbuttoned BDCs, but this, I think, is true sprezz.

No one actually wears their clothes around here, silly.

Who let these barbarians on the forum? Wearing CM clothing indeed... next you'll want us to walk in our bespoke shoes.

The weather, though warming a bit, is still overcast and a bit breezy, making a three-piece flannel suit, a hat, and a scarf the right amount of insulation. With the formality of today's suit, I opted for my black Homburg, though, to be honest, of the three Homburgs I own, it was the first acquired and is now the least favorite. Live and learn.

I cannot wait for travel to be safe again - we are both, I suspect, in dire need of a nice luncheon with a little shopping afterwards. :-D
