That's really really nice. I'm thinking of a similar suit I have seen in Corneliani navy blue but with light pink stripes (almost looks white)

And those shoes looks almost like the GG you have, right? Or am I lost here...

nephew,
could you post a picture from the shoulders down
the green wt is wow
consider marcoliani merino navy birdseye


Well, I COULD post a picture from the shoulders down. But in this case I'll pass. As I'm pretty thrown together today - how about a description?

Canali navy blue gabardene suit (nicely cut - a bit on the slim side but not trendy.)
Navy and White gingham shirt, french cuffs, midcentury modernist sterling links - no tie (GASP!)
White, Navy, tan handpainted pocket square.
You've seen the socks and shoes.

I will say that I was called out today by one of our hoytie toytie art consultants as looking very 'European'. Which I took as a compliment.

But all in all I have to say these socks with the green shoes just aren't working for me. Had I done a different sock such as a Navy Birdseye as you suggested I woulda said it all worked in my own perosonal 'business louche' sorta way. But was certainly not anything 'proper'.

Sorry but you are REALLY lost. :D No G&G loafers for me. Although I'd be happy to accept a pair as a gift, size 7 UK please! I"ll happily accept any color. :nodding:

Could you be thinking of these lowley C&J Mertons? They are shaped more or less like Stitchy's hoytie toytie Zegna COUTURE shoes. :D



Watcha drinkin'? You do know that I only allow the consumption of Martinis - right?

Uncle Mac is allowed to drink his much loved Scotch - but he's special.

As a 22 year old I like to get martinis mostly because I like them and they get the job done but also because it's super douchey as a young person
