Love the summer clothes, Holdfast and Vox. If everyone dressed as well as the two of you, summer would be so much more pleasant.

Thanks!

The coat is a MTM suit by a local tailor (Birmingham, Michigan), Chicchini Clothiers. The shirt is a good old Brooks Bros. slim fit.

Vox, the numerals look strange...


I assumed that you referred to number 4? Rolex always does that, I guess it has something to do with readability.

Ed is right about the collar. The suit looks good.

Using IIII instead of IV is standard for most brands of good watches.

Traditionally, clocks used IIII instead of IV. Before clocks, in the Roman era, IIII was used almost exclusively for the numeral 4, partly because IV was often used as an abbreviation for Jupiter.

At least, that's what I recall. There are a plethora of theories regarding the convention with clock and watch dials.

But I have really liked most of your outfits in the last few weeks..


I have a few of these Borrelli jackets of the same slightly longer length and they look fine. They're actually cut shorter in the back so from the rear look much more proportionate.

Too kind, but much appreciated anyway!

Now that's a good dress code.

My pleasure. In accordance with the best standards of corporate governance, I operate a simple & transparent fee structure in return for being your mouthpiece. That will be one Drakes tussah silk tie, please.

Same. Thought either SF's or my own tastes had suddenly changed.

Don't you have a surf board to polish?
