Navroz Mubarak! What better way to celebrate the start of Spring 2023 then to wring out the last wears of my winter clothing for the season!
(DBF Cardigan Jacket, DBF Yak-Cotton t-shirt, Vince trousers, Corgi mermaid socks, Brooks Brothers/Peal velvet slippers.)

Don't worry. The longer you hang around here the dandier you will become. You'll be in Fox Brothers slippers and a New and Lingwood dressing gown complaining that Edward Green never goes on sale. The only real choice you get is clear vs. brown spirits. That's it.

Absinthe is in vogue again, so you can do green or red as well.

Can always count on you to keep things in perspective.

I called. And was able to get an answer, but it took calling.

So you’ve made your only allowable choice! Let us know when the No Man Walks Alone French chore coats, Japanese linen shorts, and Spanish espadrilles arrive.

I had absinthe as a drink pairing at Pineapple and Pearls. It is likely the worst drink I've ever had in my life. I remember thinking, no wonder people used to consider this to be poison.

I am picturing them bringing you just, like, a cup of pure absinthe.

If you pay for it I will wear it as a man of culture!

Update: received this today:

"I found out from our product manager that the Tuxedo pants only come in regular rise, I measured and the rise is 11 inches."

So the fact that you can select from Regular, or Long rise on the product page means nothing....

Moving on. (sort of)

Here is why I am looking, going to an evening Summer wedding this year, and next (maybe two next year, one date is TBD) I have the midnight tux from Carrara, then i found a very nice SB Shawl Collar off white number (NWT) from Hickey Freeman at a price I could not pass up. So I thought I needed to find separate black tux trousers. Would the midnight stand out against the off white? or be fine?? Am I over thinking this?

 

[WoolyLamb]

You said evening. Any idea what kind of venue and lighting?
Is the midnight black or dark blue?
