Slim cut navy blue tux jacket w/ silk striped lapel. Would be worn informally, likely with dark cuffed jeans or gray cotton pants, to artsy-fartsy events.

If this look is "trying to hard" for anyone over the age of 30, then I want no part of it, so please opine on that as well.

Will come in handy for pickup soccer games with the minorities in your suburb You should get those ninja slippers just for the hilarity of your giant feet squeezed into them If you're gonna do ridiculous sneaks what about the willhelm ones? Navy is better but don't have your size. uk11 is like us 12 but probably still too small for you

I will take it from the silence that the answer is "no" on the tux jacket I posted with striped lapel. It is just as well. I bought 2 coats and a sweater in the last few days and should holster my wallet for a moment.

Ha well I definitely cannot compete with you doods. I would like to see the Lanvin jacket. I will post my new cops in recent purchases when I get back from NYC on the 20th. Two (14) jackets and a Jil shawl neck cash sweater.

I will probably knuckle under and get the tux jacket later this week.
