Thanks! Somebody mentioned the burgundy I was wearing the other day, too. This is a brand new model (apparently) from Brooks Brothers, and they are really super nice tight knit wool. They have it in 11 colors. Link

Thank you, sir!

I know. Based on comments received a few days ago, I have gotten myself a YMCA membership and the plan is to work out all winter until my body looks good, then worry about going crazy with the alterations and/or replacements. Until then I have declared a moratorium on all new clothes.

Thanks, UC. Sleeves do appear a touch long. I do prefer my coat sleeves slightly longer than most on here, though, and generally go with a slightly longer shirt sleeve to accomodate. Today my shirt sleeves keep riding up no matter what I do. I find this is a common problem on many of my coats (shirts get stuck on the lining or something?) for which I have no solution except to accept it.

The peak lapels were the reason I got it!

Thanks for the kinds words!

It's inspiring to see a man launch himself into a plan for self improvement. Kudos, bb.

I like the fit on these pants much better than many of yours, Moo. You really have slimmed down.

Kudos to you!

LOL. I resemble that statement. I almost stuck a white TV fold in the pocket of an OCBD the other day...worn without a SC.
