Well since your OP refers to some of the sartorial temptations one should avoid, I thought it would be nice to see some of the oldies once again.

How about posting a pic of that parquet-floor jacket with all the different panels?

I love that jacket. Theres no different panels on that jacket, it's a very basic pattern with a bad camera shot from the reflective silk. Do you guys sit around with a dossier on me or what? This is a little disturbing

Are you also disturbed the fact that you own and run a forum whose entire membership does nothing but build files on the members here, and ***** about them 24/7?

Yeah, I got confused with the other ugly coat. At any rate, it's those images that are disturbing and hard to forget. Oops, I'm running late for the FNB surveillance meeting.

No, Manton, we don't "build files" and ***** about "the members here." We devote all our energies 24/7 to attacking you and you alone, as you have so often affirmed. No posts that do not contain derogatory remarks about "Manton," "Mantoni," "Signor Machiavelli," "Lurch" or "Borat" can even be posted there. No matter what the topic, if I wish to post there, I have to conclude my post with a paraphrase of the immortal Cato the Elder: "Ceterum censeo Mantonem delendum esse!"

You left out "Manson".

Not mine. This jacket is in lambswool from 7 different matching patterns of W. Bill in different color ways and one different pattern from the same book. I had to buy a yard of each fabric to make this up. Nino Corvato put the jacket together with such care that it isnt that easy to see the different panels (It's supposed to have an even more jarring effect like the Brooks fun shirt). Although I made it up for private parties, people wear such bold things now that I wear it on the weekends with corduroys and jeans. Insecure guys dont like it but it's a great conversation piece with women. Additionally, Nino made himself up one from the extra cloth and it was borrowed from him by a notable designer who never returned it!

Not sure I'd want a garment back after it's been in Glennie's basement.
