I don't understand what's wrong with white or gray for a car. This looks pretty good to me:
Never mind the color, that no smoking sign is a deal breaker for me.
STYLE. COMMUNITY. GREAT CLOTHING.

You should be able to convert it to a smoking car for a few thousand dollars. I will do it for a flat $1k if you're interested.
What about the Aldens?Sport coat is rare. Would be less so if I weren’t covering tech.
Yes, I really do wear the vest. To some extent, it’s a team participation thing.
As a German I have to say, Berlin beyond the government districts must be one of the worst spots for tailored clothing worldwide, much worse than the rest of urban Germany. And that is mostly because it is one of those places where everyone is proud of these low standards as an indicator of anti-conservative modernity, executed in the typical way of conservative defensive conformism without getting the irony in it. If we wonder what the future holds for us after Patagonia fleece vests replaced suit and tie then we all can take a look on Berlin and savour its youthful messy exuberant ... monotony of ill-dress without any clue whatsoever.
But even there you can walk in tailored clothing without any issues. When you see two well-dressed guys on a stroll there they will usually be Italians though.
If that's what pays the bills at Cifo.
Come on Frère Alain, you read the man earlier. The back of his neck may be getting dirty and gritty, surrounded by people looking half dead, but at night it's a different world, dressed so fine and looking so pretty.@TheFoo
So what do your eminently "well fleeced" colleagues wear in the dead heat of Manhattan summer? Has Patagonia invented a summer linen or fresco version? Conformity (TeamWear) has its place but I suspect one has to draw the line somewhere, no?

Berlin has a de facto ban on CM. But it’s the most fun German city to be in.As a German I have to say, Berlin beyond the government districts must be one of the worst spots for tailored clothing worldwide, much worse than the rest of urban Germany.

It is entertaining, I agree. Beyond the facts that its commercial influence is very limited, that the Berlin citizens are relatively poorer than they are typically in a capital of a developed country and that Berlin does not even have a real international airport it is the only city in Germany for me which feels like an international metropolis.Berlin has a de facto ban on CM.

Well, u can’t expect much from the former divided city to immediately become the hub of commerce and industry. Most of the German economy decamped to the Rhur valley to be near Bonn. I like Tegel because it’s so small. Have you seen the monstrosities of CDG and Heathrow, especially CDG terminal 2A->infinity. But Tegel is showing it’s age. Anyway Berlin is Super fun and the cheapest capital city in the developed world, save Lisbon or Athens.It is entertaining, I agree.
