You just made it all worth it. I was going to do the Crusty Stank Crouch but decided against it.

I am honored by your decision. Thanks to Dig, I can now understand your posting - alas, poor KitonBrioni - the only thing that you left out was something in an exotic leather . . .

 

[GMMcL]

My effort today. No sun anywhere, so white balance is totally off. First, however, there rejects: I initially thought I'd do a Traileur. But the weather didn't cooperate -- cold and rainy -- plus I don't own a single non-baseball cap hat.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

So I thought: Well, maybe TTO:

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

But, again, the lack of hat was an issue. Plus I don't do full face shots. Oh, and the rain? Plus suede? No sir. Fine. How about NYI/Rob?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

(Note that I had to resort to actual NWOB deadstock shell v-cleats to look like his worn shoes do EVERY DAY.) But again with the full face shot, plus lets face it, Rob is more or less inimitable. So I canceled the appointment at the tat parlor (still charged me full price because I canceled less than 24 hours, the bastards) and moved on to Crusty, planning to call everything Brooks Brothers MTM, whether it was or not:

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

But my lack of adequate shoes, aversion to face photos and did I mention the utter inadequacy of my shoe collection convinced me otherwise. So then I prepared my best Stitchy:

NOTE THE ABSENCE OF POCKET SQUARE

I even planned to shoot my picture DIRECTLY into the sun, while doing a flying roundhouse. Sadly, the sun decided not to cooperate, I kept rethinking. Southernstyle?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

No, I don't want to ruin my favorite (only) button collar shirt with a safety pin. Spoo?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Yeah. No.

OK, so here's what I DID go with:

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Sorry for the crappy lighting. Note the awesome red cords and the highly disCORDant black shoos. Didn't get the smile or pose quite right, and not sure I captured the spirit of the style. But I did my best.
