The Anderson & Sheppard Expatriates Thread

Stripes are, however, the mother's milk of all orphaned suit jacket and trousers threads.

As well and carefully as you dress I would love to see you illustrate the above.

Though I have no illustrious inventors in my extended lineage, I will gladly buy you dinner next time I'm in Boston.

That would be if you wear and demonstrate the orphaned suit coat and jeans look in the WAYWT thread ( with photos taken in a public place and not your office ). And with a particularly mismatched suit coat and pant which are obviously not related.

Being Vox, you could even commission such an outfit from Edwin.

I like stripes. It's just that the best batch of MTM and RTW suits that I have left are almost all stripes, so I am addressing other areas of interest first as I go along.
Something similar happened to me. I had all stripes and when I switched to my current tailor, I got non-directional patterns and then gave away my earlier suits and had few out and out stripes. But I have come to the conclusion that one can never have enough striped suits.

I like a lot of things, including things that might be retro. But I also wear denim to work on occasion.
Well, I think an exercise in separating genres would serve you well. I need a denim shirt too.

Air circulation? Have you tried fresco?
As a matter of fact, I have, twice, which makes me rather a fool. Won't be a third time though. I do still have a piece of fresco left I will be giving away, possibly to recreate an authentic biblical Shepard's outfit for my place of worship's holiday play.

All our buildings operate with centralized HVAC controls, except for one place: my office, which at my unreasonable insistence is the only space with local temperature control. It's a somewhat stupid luxury, and not very green, but I like it. - B
I like it too, the hell with everyone else.

My dear friend, I already have...jacket from faux tweed suit worn as an odd jacket:

...jacket from fesco suit, buttons swapped, worn as a blazer:

...but neither are the iconic StyleForvm striped orphaned suit jackets, a genre that holds special place in interwebz hearts.

As for dinner, you know that I always buy, right?

Why doesn't the MA&SEBTâ„¢ warrant his, or dare I say her, own thread?

Foof needs to Photoshop a lowercase "i" in that window, and then the pic will be perfect.

I love the juxtaposition of the 6-digit phone number and the URL.

BTW, you have to add "i" to the door, too.

I noticed, but it's so faint there....

Remarkably for such a small town, it also has a bespoke shoemaker...who can also make you new keys.

Crosspost: Summer 2009 Steed (Edwin DeBoise) fittings.

Both suits are in dark blue Lumb's Golden Bale worsted flannel from H. Lesser & Sons: one is a double-breasted two piece, the other, a single breasted three piece with a single breasted notch lapel vest. The SB suit has a windowpane, while the DB is solid blue.

The DB:

The DB will have swappable buttons to allow the jacket to be worn separately as a reefer-style jacket with shanked gilt buttons, or as a more casual coat with white/gray Mother of Pearl buttons. The DB is the second and last of the SwissArmySuitsâ„¢.

The SB windowpane:

This SB represents the evolotion of making the quarters more open, begun two SB projects ago.

Next up in the batting order will be a three piece SB suit in a J. & J. Minnis 13oz houndstooth woolen flannel, and a brown DB in Minnis 14/15oz woolen flannel.
