Nice. Most will complain but I do occasionally like the "bland" look.

Not into those shoes, though.

In WAYWRN, I said P.'s outfit is exactly one cream silk square short of greatness. As is, too binary.

Don't listen to him, PB. A plain white linen square always trumps a cream silk square. Always.

How can you hate cream silk? If I could only have one square, it would be cream silk. At worst it is 80% as good as the ideal square. Often it is ideal.

If I organize a group buy for Charvet cream silk squares, will you all sign up? With the condition that I never have to see white linen again?

I was going to say yes until you said the last part about not having to see white linen again.

To be clear, you can still wear white linen. I just don't want to see it again. You can Photoshop over it.

You know, I don't need cream silk because the Rubinacci Victory square can fill that duty.

You have the issue, YOU can photoshop over it! ;)


No, no. Anyone who wears white linen has the issue. I'm trying to get you all to do what's right. It's just a crying shame I have to resort to bribery.

I remember this was a heavier weight flannel for you. How do like the weight of this cloth?

Indeed an awesome square. Though, I used it less and less these days. The way I poof, I wind up with the blue sky dominating the poof unless I contort to get it right. The one with the opera house ceiling gets picked a lot more frequently.
