I thought Semi Spread was C1?

We recently changed the name as we mentioned, the spread of the original C2 kept creeping out to tuck away under the jacket lapels, and basically ended up more of a spread than a semi-spread. The C1 is more of a traditional semi-spread now.

Oh boy, another sale! I can't decide between the Bottoli Brown Mix Slub and the Drago Brown Slub.

I've got the Drago Light Gray and absolutely love the look and feel. I'm now ooking to add a brown jacket to my repertoire and have had my eye on these two for a while.

For reference, I currently have:

Angelico Bright Navy Hopsack
Green Cotton
Drago Light Gray
Cream Linen

What do you wear the light grey Drago with? Any pictures you can share?

Hmm, want those Minnis Fresco navy pants- they're in my size. Wondering what I'd wear with navy pants if I didn't have a matching jacket...

Convince me...

I'm a t-shirt/polo kinda guy so I usually mix and match with that. I'll snap a pic later today and post it.

If my 2 pending spins at the SM roulette wheel cash out, I think I deserve some special sort of SM Fan Boy card for the tomfoolery of said order.

Details to come, pending win(s) or loss(es) of the spins.

Circling back, I "won" both of these. Looks like I'm going to have a second Grey and Navy Fresco to add to the arsenal. Silly on my part, but silly in an awesome way, I'd wager.

Now, to buttons. What type(s) would you use to switch out on the grey and navy to clearly differentiate from the standard buttons used? Though they're essentially identical suits, I'd like to have them appear distinct, at least to any who might be particularly detail oriented.

Crossing fingers that my order doesn't get cancelled. I'm one with the force and the force is with me...

I gotta go lie down somewhere quietly until the urge to make a 3rd purchase this month subsides

Tell me about it. My birthday is next month, otherwise I would be making another S&M purchase. ?

I feel like navy pants can go with a lot, I usually wear gray jackets with my pairs (primarily black and white tweed in the winter).

Get it for no other reason than I wanted the gray frescos, waited too long, missed it, and have been full of regret ever since.

White or smoked MOP

@spiermackay is this neo v2 or v3?

Finally got to wearing my natural linen shirt today. Man, so disappointed with the cut on this one. It's so billowy and big

I really only wear fresco or flannel now. The VBC fresco is also in my size but I really like the higher rise and the pleat is the Minnis version.

Wore @spiermackay seersucker today along with Post O’alls shirt, Berg and Berg PS and Gustin white/gum soles.

What's the difference?

 

[CBrown85]

What's the difference?

I assume you’re asking me??

The Minnis is very hearty and heavy compared to the VBC. The VBC seems finer and has a softer hand. They’re both good for different uses. I’m basically getting as much as I can of both of them because they’re a good value from Ricky, especially on sale.
