OK playing for realz - I'm guessing something very conservative business dress, i.e. SB - not DB, grey or navy, no patches.

How am I doing?

Nope! I already own the latter and the former isn't possibe since all Rubinacci frescos are actually hopsacks or figments of TepDoc's imagination.

Let's put it this way: Manton is extremely concerned.

Solid guesses.

I'm touched either way. Would you say the thing you're concerned about will turn out to be a slight misstep, or an epic failure--and with respect to both RL and SF contexts?

You are more right than wrong, but still solidly wrong. Also, there are two.

No, I was never able to get my hands on the stuff. Anyway, I think Manton would be less concerned about that than what I picked.

I just think it can wait. It will be a fine looking garment.

My other dream suit is a cream linen DB. That's already got to wait a long time. I can't wait for all my dreams to come true.
