Absolutely superb, Vox.

Congrats, Foxx, & best wishes for many more happy years together.

Killer tie from Sulka, Vox. I think both the MBT and the Steed suits look quite good on you. They're just different looks. MBT looks younger or--to use a word you like--boyish. Steed radiates authority.

Love the SC, IST. You make a glass of milk look positively chic.

Niidawg, great looks lately. You are so consistent.

Nice scale to the gingham - some of mine are a bit small or a little large.
I think I'd prefer a darker tie without a stripe, but without a full length shot it's difficult to judge.

Unfortunately my camera died, will try next time.

Either that tie has grown on me since I last saw it or it works better with this combination. All looks good.

Overcast but bright Wednesday. Rather chilly, should have worn an overcoat:

Photos all Canterbury apart from the one in front of Faversham's Guildhall pillars for those that care (apologies for out of focus head shot):





Details:
Shoes - EG Chelsea
Suit - Pal Zileri Sartoriale
PS - Howard Yount
Shirt - Daniel Hechter
Bow Tie ?
Hat - Zara (need something better in a similar fit/style)

Quick question, how do you guys take pictures of yourselves? Tripod, friend, etc. ?

Full length shots : Street furniture, walls, benches - whatever is roughly the right height. Set self timer, sprint into position, silly grin/grimace, forget to adjust cuffs and wait.

Close ups of tie etc. : hold camera at arms length, mis-focus, repeat...

Lack of tripod means the clothes (and my) proportions are sometimes slightly off but I'm not lugging a tripod to work everyday. Holding camera at arms length does strange things to lapels, shoulders etc. but I'm not lugging...

Not sure how you compiled the vox attributed pix, but unless I'm mistaken, I believe the bottom left is actually "mattypoo". Although remarkably similar, the giveaway for me is the hands--note that the vox hands have a slight inward bias, while matty's turn slightly outward (most evident by the angle of exposed cuff in respective pics), a detail pointed out by the great mr. sartoria himself. (On a related note, the vox hands are purported to be powerful enough to snap the neck of a grown iGent as if it were a spindly twig, in contrast to the Matt hands that appear better suited to handling a glass of rose, or undergoing a lengthy manicure).

Yes, that is iammatt in the left of the DB length comparison. It's not DTO.

It's a good idea to stay hidden.

Thank you. I share your opinion of the basic differences, but it is difficult for most (me included) to be objective about one's own dress.

Vox, just sick.

That means my social experiment was successful

Not heard back from Emory - should be hearing something in 2 weeks ... since they said it takes 6 weeks.

thanks embowafa ... its definitely a good pair of pants to combine with ... i do however agree its not as versatile as grey or tan.

Niidawg, either you've lost more weight or that jacket is an exceptionally good fit on you. Maybe both. My attempts at weight loss seem to be stalling

Probably the weight loss, good picture angle etc ... down to 200 so a little loss there. I cant seem to consistently break 200 and get to 190, so i hear you on the stalling.

nice color combo P - thanks for sharing. I always hope to see pics from consistent WAYWRN contributors like you JayJay, AudioP etc. Hopefully this is the beginning of more pics.

I'm digging this a lot. I picked up a gingham shirt in a blue/gray/white pattern that i was looking to combine with a gray tie i have. Consider this my pre-emptive apology for swagger jacking ...

The quality of your scenic shots is amazing. Nice fit today too. Those EGs are aging nicely.
