Any thoughts on the Patriot Check folks? Part of me really wants it, but it may be a bit too bold for my blood.

Edit: Zegna Navy Twill & Zegna Bunnacia WSL also kopped 

For me it would be great with a bold colorful summer "Neapolitan" get up with it. Either a bold sport jacket as Clee suggests, lightweight pants, bright white shirt and most importantly sun.

I can also see this working off season under a red sweater, casually.

This Denim Stripe is terrific, and unlike anything you'll see most tie makers do. It's actual Italian Stretch denim that is a GREAT casual tie. This tie was a "Show Only" tie for a while (meaning we never released it online and just at our pop up events) and always was one of the first to sell there. In fact its teh second or third time we've made it up. It always sells out at shows.

Glad you guys are eating up this sale, stuff is moving pretty quick...

Have to post a photo of my Barber. In the meantime, I can definitely vouch for it.

Considering ordering another in size 4 at the new lower price and washing it down to size. But I'll wait a bit and give everyone else a chance to get in.

OK, ordered a Barber. Anxiously awaiting its arrival

I think it will definitely suit you Don.

Yowzers that Rosso Plaid is some sort of wonderful. Fantastic texture, and enough slubbage to render the inevitable hangnail induced snags moot. Very glad I also ordered its blue companion!

Hearing a lot of guys would like to see the Leonardo Barber Shirt fit pics in the wild. I literally wear the **** out of mine....every day since I got the first sample in the Bunaccia. It's vital for what I do day to day. When I first started getting into menswear, teaching was a very different profession. My class sizes went from mid 20's to mid and even upper 30's in just 10 years. Also, demands on teachers have increased tremendously. Not that we weren't working before, but now we're expected to be MUCH more active and mobile in the classroom, especially as focus has increased on students with disabilities. For instance, I've gone from having ZERO special education students to now having them in every class. Tracking these students with great detail is expected daily, as is tracking for EVERY student regularly. I have to keep a notebook on me at ALL times, and sometimes walking across the room to my desk (navigating the maze of 36 desks and students) sometimes takes longer than I need it to. The hip pockets and the pen pocket are vital. They also provide me great storage when I'm not working so that I don't need to jam my pants pockets. I think of it more like a stylish lab coat, and I feel my classroom is more of a laboratory than it's ever been.

Having said that, I've not been posting too much of myself in here (or in WAYWT) as my style has drastically changed to adapt to my environment and daily needs. I need to be comfortable and generally wear the same thing everyday. RRL Officer Chinos or Denim, Boots or Sneakers, Solid Simple Tee Shirt, Grey Hoodie or Crew and my Barber Shirt. Sometimes I'll throw an Heirloom Button Down under the Barber instead of the tee and hoodie, depending on if I have meetings or not scheduled. Bottom line, it's just not as practical for me to "dress up" anymore.

But, here's a few pics from recent days:









The Bunaccia is the sample and doesn't have the pen pocket, which I find annoying....but will be adding soon. All of the production Bunaccia have that feature.

That pocket's big enough for a bottle. Now thats some pattern making.

When you drink bourbon like I do, it's kind of a necessity.

I hear ya. Looks like the Four Roses Single Barrel cap I had.

Yup, FR is my steeze. In fact, I was supposed to be there today for a selection for our charity but I got very sick last weekend and missed a bunch of YH appointments, so that's happening today.

FR is a surprisingly good bourbon (I'm by no means an expert on bourbon lol), especially given the crazy low price tag. I've had much less enjoyable bottles for easily triple the price.
