That's a classy look for a dentist appointment! I usually go in clothes that are suitable for a mix of blood, sweat and panic.
Sounds like you're going to the wrong dentist.

Great look all around. I really like that jacket and the way it combines with the tie.

Today's posting is all about alterations and repair. Today's suit is some 11 years old, and today's shoes are probably close to 10 years old. I recently had the shoes resoled/reheeled, and the trousers of today's suit shortened a bit, as I seem to have shrunk a bit from 11 years ago.

For reference, I've included a photo of myself from November 2009, wearing the suit for the first time after purchase - my first suit from New & Lingwood, something of a "bucket list" item at the time, and a recent photo of today's shoes, prior to repair.

Suit & face mask - New & Lingwood
Shirt - Brooks Brothers
Tie - Charvet
Cufflinks - Deakin & Francis
Braces - Paul Stuart
Vintage watch chain
Pocket square - Robert Talbott
Shoes - Harris, via Barney's, NYC
Overcoat - Adolfo
Scarf - Turnbull & Asser
Hat - Laird, London

There has been a definite temperature drop here in NYC, making it possible for me to don today's overcoat, which is very warm - too warm until temperatures go below freezing.

Suit - Paul Stuart/Phineas Cole
Shirt & pocket square - Brooks Brothers
Tie - London York
Cufflinks - Joseph A Bank
Braces, scarf, & face mask - New & Lingwood
Boots - Paul Stuart house brand
Overcoat - Brooks Brothers
Hat - Selentino, via JJ Hat Center, NYC

I have a similar Brooks Brothers polo coat from the same era. Don't get much use out of it here in California, but a treasured piece, reflective of the brand before it lost its way.
