I understand what you said. I thought your choice of words was odd (ridiculous, trying too damn hard) given that you thought that the only issue you had was the unbuttoned cuffs. That's all.

What's with all the insults flying in this thread btw (grandpa up there jumped me for no reason, you calling me stupid out of the blue)? WTF is wrong with you guys?

I kind of like the navy tux stripe. I think it (specifically the color of the stripe) plays well with the dark jacket and light blue oxford? shown. Needless to say, I love the boots.

There's a video floating around out there in which Gay Talese talks about his wardrobe and shows off a suit he had made with a stripe down the leg. Bizarre affectation, but you gotta love him.

oh come on gdl ... a little hate/push-back coming your way and you are whining? i always thought you were tougher than that. you dish out a fair amount of hate yourself on others.

Thx for the video - it was fascinating. I cant believe those suits from teh 60's and 70's are in such pristine condition. It's a testament to quality garments. Interestingly enough, my neighborhood still holds a passagiata during the summer months, but no one dresses up.... Might have to revive the tradition.

oh please man. dont even know what that means/supposed to mean. but if you are saying this is a check on who hates/doesnt hate on you, then pls remove me from that camp.

i really respect your opinion/knowledge, but the fact is you were playing the victim card, when you got a little heat; something you do also ... roll with it and stop laying on the

Are you going to write an essay about this? I'm so interested in all your comments about me. It reminds me of the last time I was calling you a whiner, a hater, and all sorts of good things... which was.. oh yes, never. Again, good to know.
