Agree. I think the third pic is the best thing I've seen you wear.

Some of mine. Not all are bold. Perhaps not all are plaids. But anyway: Left to right: Sportown by Beau Brummel, 1940s deadstock, Stettaford Shetlands wool made by Doran Cravats for Barneys [1960s], Cameron tartan, Scott tartan [both these made in Scotland], Huntland [?] et fils, 53 Blvd St. Michel, Paris 1930s, Pal Zileri, Brooks Brothers University line made of Shetland Wool by Rivetz, 1970s [is this a plaid or a check?] Pants: Left to right: unknown windowpane plaid, Santomio for Brown Thomas, Dublin, Ireland, Valentini for Bergdorf Goodman [thanks Quality Seller!], unknown windowpane plaid. The Santomio is especially worthy of further examination. I have plaid coats as well, but they are still boxed away.

OK, wiped out from the 70 minutes it took me to get 17 miles in Atlanta traffic, glass of Merlot calling my name; so I apologize for the generally cruddy quality, and poor lighting of these pictures. They are all quite loud, trust me. I can post detail if anyone wants it:

Polo

Isaia

Canali

Brooks Brothers

Luciano Barbera

This Polo is great!

By the look of the photos, the Barbera was made for you. Go get it and show us the pictures.

I have this to add. The picture doesn't do it justice - the red is firetruck red IRL. It's a lumberjack shirt dressed to go out.

Man, I opened that and thought my screen resolution had switched to 640X480.

I've got a coat in a similar color and pattern, though different cloth:

How did you get it ?

I sold 2 of them to members at the forum, this was indeed very nice and soft

That RLPL with the lavendar overcheck, I was on a one year hunt for that and would have paid close to full retail. I carrier the picture around with me like an obsessed nutcase. Was not able to find it. Nice catch.

The Polo ones fit you impecabbly. A re those Polo's made to measure?

 

[gnatty8]

If you mean mine (which I am sure you cannot since you used the words "fit" and "impecabbly" in the same sentence), then no, they are RTW; but extensively worked upon by a very able tailor.

I want some Royal Stewart tartan trousers or maybe even a jacket.

Edit - living in Atlanta, you probably get about 2 months of the year to wear these?
