Fascists have always been into black shirts, FWIW...

Thanks - that is from our tailoring line with Sartoria Carrara. MTM in Fox worsted flannel

Looks like a longer fuller coat which would work for me.
MTM from your NYC store? Are you planning any trunk shows
to the San Francisco area? I always looked forward to your
attendance at SF Meet-Ups five + years ago.

Thats why they were called the "Black Shirts"

British Fascists ( better tailored)

The black with red shirt looks very Goodfellas

I really couldn’t get past the collars:

also, the white provided far better contrast for the more dramatic moments:

“it was among the Italians. It was some real greaseball ****.”

Yes, that's MTM from our tailoring line, made up with a Fox worsted flannel. We're not yet making any plans for trunk shows or travel but if things look good, we may do that in the fall.

I'm also looking forward to traveling again.

I guess I need to be more overt in my sarcasm...

My grandfather spent a great deal of his late teenage years/early 20s battling Fascism in/around Italy. When I was younger my dad forbid me from wearing black button-front shirts in reverence of my grandfather's sacrifices. Always a delight when sentimentality naturally overlaps with good taste.

Neither could that tie.

The shoes really tie the whole outfit together. And who would have thought that at the end of the day, Gym would end up being the less pervy of the two?

 

[dieworkwear]

A dark shirt (we’re talking about coats and ties here, not shirts for clubbing) has always been considered both in bad taste and the mark of the lower, and even criminal, classes.

Hm.

Hey. I've been reading your blawgs off and on for over a decade. Why don't we have any pics of you? How do we know you're not a 400 lb basement dweller with no good fits of your own?

Wearing black shirts that way is how you get invited to cocaine-fueled orgies in DC.

Too bad he can only participate in the cocaine and not the orgies part.

Too scurred to reply, @dieworkwear ?

I suggest not reading websites where you don't know if the person is a 400-pound basement dweller with no good fits of their own.

So... no reddit then?
