Harris Tweed again? Again and again

Ac,

would you be kind enough to post details on that tie? Looks fantastic, thanks.

Today is the debut of my newest jacket--appropriate, since it seems to be a day for checks and glen plaids. To square or not to square? My impulse is toward a paisley or something similar in green or blue, but I don't have a really coherent idea yet as to how it would work.

Where did you get this tie?

 

[Tirailleur1]

And coming soon, "The Claghorn"

Cheers,

Ac

will this be stocked at NMWA?

Wanna know if I need to pm for pre orders.

Where did you get this tie?

It's an Eidos red donegal from last fall's collection at Bloomingdales. I picked it up from @DanTheLadiesMan who sold it to me at a very generous price.

Trying to catch the last of the light from inside, since my oh-so-selfish wife just couldn't make it home from work in time for outside pics.

 

[Caustic Man]

jc, excellent.

 

[jcmeyer]

Thanks, CM!

You can collect money until they force you into emeritus status? (and even then)

We are all too young to reap the real benefits of an academic career. My father retired at 65, with a full pension (tied to his peak salary, and he served as a the head of the school for well over a decade). For some bizarre reason, his pension (hahahahaha, who even has a pension anymore) was structured to be tied to the market performance at the time of his retirement (I'm blurry on the details). Always a man with a silver penny stuck ***********, he retired in 2007, at the peak of the bubble, just before everything came crashing down. There are worse ways to retire.

Man, everyone is killing it today.

I call this pose “the sugarbutch”

Cheers, Ac

The full sugarbutch can't be done with a three-piece because the tie is captive. A drawing for those unfamiliar:

Thank you for your thumbs yesterday. I would like comments as well, if any.
