No. Creases and long ripples are very different things.

I could be very (w)rong but I think he takes his pics first thing in the morning.

Elephant-grey pure silk DB for the ongoing sunny and warm weather. Solid grey suit, simple blockstripe tie and black captoes still makes this officially conservative business dress, right...?

Silver and navy block stripe is probably my all-time favorite tie. Works wonderfully here as well.

Yeah, I usually just put things in my bag, pants pockets or interior breast pocket.

I wear this combo often with this sportcoat anyways, but I was already in the car on the way to work when I realized that I'd most likely chosen it today after seeing Orgetorix's pic yesterday, which I liked very much.

Very nice all around--great tasteful uses of color from MoK and HF; great ties and conservative business dress elegance from Trini and Sugarbutch.
