I think you most certainly should go into the Challenge, Org. Just because you pick it, does not mean you have to abstain. MikeOriginally Posted by MBreinin
I second that, plus I like this a lot!

Not going for the trad bake-off today, largely because the coat is very English and not at all "trad." It's casual Friday at the office, mid-50s and partly cloudy. So we get a study in blue and brown. Excuse the full-shot pose in which I stand with a ridiculously pronounced swish - there's only so many photos I can ask the admin asst. to take to get this right and I'm not yet used to this sort of thing, so you get what you get.

Looking for full critique of it, as it's one of my new, post SF pieces, and I am thinking of getting more from this designer - but am soliciting feedback before I do so.Originally Posted by Sotiris
it fits nicely. others have already commented on what issues there may be. but i think its a good baseline jacket to start with.
Not being an American I don't really do Trad. Still to semi-show willing as Trad is basically bastardized English Countrywear, I wore that insteadOriginally Posted by ManofKent

this is the MoK i remember from back in May 2009 when i joined SF. i know most people think i prefer only the natural shoulder look, but on you, i think it works better. most of the structured shoulder suits, especially the MTM ones you recently acquired accentuate your shoulder issues rather than hide them.
this works great on you man. congrats on the weight loss too.

consistently good NOBD ... i couldnt dress like you do (color wise), but fit and attention to detail is always well executed and appreciated.

i was feeling it till the shoes bigbeard. why oh why? they are nice, but not with this fit.
didn't hear back from my friends around sendai/hachinohe and have to deal with korean people telling me the news isn't "interesting" so in a pretty bad mood, especially when hearing official reports of 88k "missing"Originally Posted by aeglus
I think for the most part, there aren't really any SFers that live in NE Japan other than NN (who is sw/d and he's perfectly fine)
thats good to hear. i'm sure there are some lurkers around that way. hope they are okay.
I forgot today is prep day. Me doing prepOriginally Posted by Fred49

"In the US, it is a well-established and I believe very Trad thing to wear Brooks Bros. Alden tassel loafers with suits."
Crusty's right about that. A good argument against Trad by the way.

Membership has its priveleges!
BB cotton sack blazer
Tyrwhitt tie
Bachrach shirt (sorry I hate button downs! Does that DQ me?)
J Press PS
BB Milano chinos
Florsheim bucks

How does Spoo do trad?Originally Posted by SpooPoker
In a goddamn peak lapel purple corduroy jacket with crystal bug cufflinks you bitches!!!

*totally kidding, this is not an entry and I love you guys.
*scuse the mess in the kids room- Mrs. Spoo is on another European gig, so I'm left to my own devices, which don't include picking up toys or a proficient knowledge of my self timer app.
The looks is great, but what most impresses me is the fit. Absolutely perfect.

BB OCBD
J Press wool tartan tie
BB khakis, turned up
Target argyle socks
Nettleton shell tassel loafers

yes, being tall and slender helps with that as well, not short and stocky (me)
