Writing's a great release and even though I don't produce enough lengthy discourses for my own blogcolumn, I'm pleased when I'm able to

As natural as it was to start it whilst I was unemployed last year, the responses I've had and the doors it has opened have lead me to conclude that I should have begun it at least 2 years ago

The only Bond I've ever been compared to is Jimmy Bond, so, thank you.

Cheers!

IST, so do I, the look comes together nicely. The pin in the tie is done very well, too.

Great outfit, Mike, I always like a club collar with a 3/2 sack

MBTâ„¢ (Mystery Bespoke Tailorâ„¢) shorts in Harrisons 12oz Irish linen, side tabs, no back pockets, pleated, cuffed
Lobb boat shoes
Tiffany Etoile band in platinum
no watch
Tom Ford sunglasses

- B

Add an ice cream sundae to that outfit to turn those taciturns away.

Oops, just realised I was lying - the cheap-ass cotton blazer is from Mexx.

Not frumpy, I like this fit. However - it would actually be better sans PS, the contrast between jacket and jeans, combined with the shirt give all the pop needed.

Back to School today!
(Actually, we started up yesterday, but the staff was ordered to wear school logo polo shirts on the first day. So we'll just let that slip by unrecorded.)

Brooks Brothers blazer
Hemrajani Tailors shirt
Sam Hober tie
Kent Wang square
Banana Republic slacks
Polo socks
To Boot NY shoes

I believe all the ingredients in this dish are SF-approved. What's less certain is if anyone will dig how I blended them.

That's awesome. I've read your blog a bit, and there's always something unusual or intriguing to catch the eye. Well done!

I wasn't sure whether to use the square or not, thinking along much the same lines as you. However, in my typically anti-Chanel way, I looked in the mirror and decided to add one more item.

Your outfit certainly get's my approval! Two thumbs up.

I have seen many films from the 1920's where men would sport their pocket squares as if a grenade had hit it. So I figured I would experiment with it. I think it was right around the same time men started to unbutton their bottom button on their double breasted jacket. I think it was the beginning of causally elegant "sporty flair" as the daily formal Edwardian styles were starting to become old-fashioned, at least with younger men.

Thanks. It's true that the exploded PS goes well with the recreation of that look. But sub specie aeternitatis not so much, as I see it.

BB - if you want to comment on the shoes, PLEASE post just the picture of the shoes ... or even better just comment ... his pictures are RIGHT ABOVE your post

Anti-Chanel sums up your style so well...
