Here's a ****** bathroom pic. The pants fit cleaner than the pic; I have to pull my pants up a bit.

PS: Pardon the shoes, Manton. My conservative business dress Vass aren't in as yet.

Are the sleeves too full?

T thats a nice looking rig. Your first Fresco? How do you like it? You think I could get away with it April-June and Sept/Oct? Maybe in a charcoal grey.

Yep, it's my first so far and i'm really liking it so far. I don't see why it wouldn't work for those months.

My tailor LOVES it. I'm probably going to get a mid-grey made up next spring.

Possibly the nicest plain pink shirting I have seen - cotton with a dash of wool:

Trini my apologies, may have misunderstood - is this the Minnis 520 or is it something else? I like the look of this cloth very much.
