Check out some of the Oxxford suits:

Will do! Thank you for the link!

got few shirts from SM (their purple label) when they had 20 percent off sale. Very good quality.

I got slim. And dang. It is very slim. Lol. But I like it as it is def fitting without any extra

Cycled by Paul Stuart and their windows full of knitwear. Wonder how well it sold during the heatwave?

Got two suits from SM. Both 44R and both sat well on me with minor adjustments to the sleeves

just went to SS to get measured for one of theirs and I got 42S. Sales person said it was common as they are Dutch company so most have longer torsos. Hence Short for me.
42 was also rather strange but sat dead on

anyone else had the same experience?


To me, the most important question isn't length - its where does the button fasten & proportions from that.

Celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary with a long weekend at Landsowne resort.

Had a fantastic meal at Restaurant at Patowmack Farm which is under new management since 2020. Went for Sunday brunch after checking out of the resort and was blown away by the view and the food.

Ended the weekend with the US Citi Open mens singles and doubles finals.

You were sitting right next to me. I was across the aisle from you, just to your right! I was wearing a straw hat and some aviators.

I saw the ladies' and men's finals and that was enough heat for the day.

Wow, both of your Styleforum Jedi powers are weak. You should have sensed each other's presence.

(Full disclosure: I was apparently next to another DC member last year at a United soccer game and didn't know it!)

No kidding! We stayed for the first set of the doubles and then left. Even though we were in the shade it was still brutal out there.

I recently converted my suit pants to accommodate suspenders and I'm loving it. incredible finally having trousers that do not need adjusting at the waist plus the break on my trousers are always perfect.
I've also started ditching belts for all my dress pants for braces. Pants fit much better since I don't have a belt cinching my waist to keep my pants up.

That burger looks awesome. I was at the Citi Open on Wednesday and caught the Tiafoe match and the first set of Kyrgios.
