You do realise ofcourse, that you are telling a forum of well dressed peacocks that you saw a well dressed peacock. It will hardly raise an eyebrow here, in fact we consider it wonderful news.

the open working button hole and monogram are not the worst offense.
it is the orange thread on the buttonholes. in another year, that will look so tired. and what do you do if the suit stilll fits. your office mates will give you a hard time about the stupid colored buttonholes.

sound like something from MYSUIT "Bespoke" for $600

seriously, i don't get why so many of you get all offended by some orange buttonholes and an undone button. He's obviously getting enjoyment out of his clothes, maybe you all should start enjoying yours too.


Well Done! Bravo!
