Did you get rid of your Formosa's?
Me? I got three Formosa suits from the 1st or 2nd batch when things were pretty consistent. I love my PoW flannel, Birdseye, and Blue Plaid. When subsequent batches came out, I tried but I had to return the Houndstooth Flannel and something else to my utter dismay.

Just back from lovely Walter Reed and about to go on a post-Opthamology, dilated-pupils bike ride. Hope I don’t crash into anything.

Just got new linen summer shirt from Drake’s. Very nice if a hair short. Model on website was wearing it tucked in which seems a bit weird to me.

Length looks fine for casual camp style shirt.

Sometimes I don't get the styling on web sites/lookbooks I can’t imagine a situation where this shirt should be tucked in.

So, I read this as "very nice if hair is short" and got super confused. Seems like exactly the kind of shirt a long-haired beach bum would wear!

I was just comparing it to some of my other short sleeve shirts. Seemed a little short but I think I was wrong. Wore it around today and really liked it. Comes in orange, light blue, and light pink as well.

I had to re-read my post to see if I’d typed it that way!

Put on a Kiton cotton/cashmere suit and Burberry tie for a video meeting today. Turns out it was actually a phone conference. Tried to describe what I was wearing but others on the call said I was "wasting everyone's time" and "being weird again."

So typical Styleforum then? Right out of central casting.
