Love the SC. Looks like the Borrelli I just traded. Lovely shoes too.

As for the pants yesterday, the Boss is not here...so they went relatively unnoticed.

Wednesday. Everything is Polo except the shoes. They are vintage Wright Cordwainers.

Have a good one!

Looking good, Trini. I dig this suit.

I know it is your trademark, but I wish you would stop ruining the fit of your jackets by putting your hand in the pocket. Also, hold the phone higher and it will improve the perspective and angle.

Like the colors. On the other hand . . . .

These shoes with khaki pants = fail.

Egads! Burn that tie immediately. Think about the suit as well.

Go ahead kid, ask me about long division again. I dare you.

I think the buttoning point on this is a little higher than optimal, but still beats 99% of the stuff here (including mine)

I feel like all of your jackets are too big in the shoulders. I endorse the Orange & Blue tie, however.

The joke is on the cat. It will soon end up as a pair of exotic loafers.

Thanks on the tie, but it is red and blue.

On the shoulder issue, such is life when you must rely on RTW items, or find something that made for someone else with similar measurements. I do have broad shoulders. The problem is that I am forced into jackets with a 44 inch chest. These often come with 20 inch shoulders. I really prefer 18.5 to 19 inches. If I had a smaller chest, I could wear a 40 all day. I don't, so I wear a 42.

I have several items that have narrower shoulders, and fortunately enough chest for me to wear.

To wit, a few examples (or do you think these are also too big?):
