You wouldn't have to ask me twice to do that.

I'd do it regardless...but the hefty reward should be laid out in advance. He may consider the "hefty reward" to be a salt and pepper shaker for all you know. Or better yet, you and your colleague should coordinate and wear them on the same day.

I think that's what the boss wants, and then he'll take the group out for drinks. A tux isn't the worst, my colleague would be in a gown. She is still debating it.

First wearing of a new/first Ercole's number, shot in various exotic locales. Will eventually get proper photos up. Tie is a handblocked wool/silk blend. I think older Drake's but unsure (it was made for Jay Kos).

+1. Good lapel shape and width too, which harmonizes nicely with the collar/tie elements Ed mentions.

Manton,

Is that a white dress shirt you are using with your tux (or is there some kind of bib there?)
