^ Why did you do that?

Because we all know that Stitchy is immune from disqualification. And what Crusty said.

 

[Gerry Nelson]

Lucky I have my trusty get out of jail free card!!!

Hey Peter, just wanted to say that it's great that you're being good natured about any criticism you're getting. Despite the occasional bout of snarkiness, there's some good knowledge here as well as people who are very generous with their time and advice,

It was just too perfect. I couldn't resist. If it's any consolation, I imagined you standing, staring at your reflection, for a full hour just to qualify. Squinting ominously.

well, counting the time it took me to say my morning prayers before my wifes picture taking, it may have been close to an actual hour. either way, lol'z all around.

also, i have no idea why i squint in my pics. :/

Thanks mate!! As they say Gerry you can't please all the people all the time. I learnt long ago that whilst it's nice to have people's approval the only approval you really need is your own. I'm not discouraged at all, I dress for me and learnt to do that long ago in Australia. You are setting yourself up for a bit of criticism. I appreciate any constructive criticism and laugh off the rest. I'm competitive too but can have a laugh at myself. It's kind of the Aussie way. We don't take ourselves too seriously.

Thanks for your kind words. Much appreciated.

Cheers,

Peter.

I'm thinking of using this suit again. Don't tell me this looks navy? If so, then it must be your monitor that needs adjusting.

Gray & Lampel (NYC bespoke shop)
Finamore
Baldessarrini
Zegna (tie converted to a square)
Trafalgar
Zegna
Panthy
TBNY

Blue enough for you? The direct sunlight makes everything a bit more shiny than it is in real life. The suit is a normal S120s wool.

I'm in
(edit: color balance)

Brooks Brothers cotton slate blue 3/2 roll sack jacket. I imagine this jacket may have been navy at some point in its life. The pocket square is red seersucker. It was 50 degrees today in NYC. I got excited.

For comparison. Top is a navy cotton. Bottom is what I'm wearing.

Love those cuffs on your jacket, as far as I'm concerned, you've obliterated the field.
