But at least it wasn't a drag...

But congrats though! When I quit 10 years ago I really didn't notice until the first wave of stress hit during final exams and the computer I quit smoking to buy quit working and started to smoke

Maybe you didn't understand today's challenge?

I'm not part of the tribe, but I speak the lingo very well - living in NYC helps.

Is there a smiley for kvetching?

I feel like we would be friends in real life. Just saying.

Good, lord, what now?

I am not ******* late.....there is no such thing as late.....and you are cramping my steez.

Ok, better make sure the laces are just right..never know.....

Oh, so I have to wait for you? Steezus Christ!

Oh, my closeup!!!

I realized when I got to work that my camera settings were blown. So, instead of getting those awesome super-saturated shots, I got these half-assed medium res shots.

Oh, well. Have a good one.........I can't wait to see the turnout today. This is a cool challenge!

What other sportcoats have significant problems? I actually wore this same Dunhill sportcoat recently in which you pointed out the shoulders, so perhaps you just thought they were two different jackets.

I appreciate your input.

- sleeve pitch, shoulders and quarters are all pretty bad. on the last Corneliani you posted also, the quarters were pretty bad.
- the issues are further accentuated with the bad combining. i think when you try to combine out there colors, the fit has to be spot on.
- look at a YFYF, Someotherstyle or PG jacket and compare to yours ... all the differences are right there to see.

- I no longer find pleasure in standing erect/robo-posing to prove that i am showing the right cuff amount or break etc. I have learnt enough on SF related to the basics of fit and applied them consistently to almost everything in my wardrobe.
- The difference between the jacket and shirt is 3/4 inches exactly. Same for 90% of my jackets and shirts. The two inch you see is a matter of movement.
- I await your zoomed in pics with measurements to prove otherwise....lol

Only the bottom. The top is win. I could have played it safe, ^^^^^^but that would not be in the spirit of the Challenge...like I said, out in a blaze of glory, or down in flames...............

I just realized that you shot these in your house, and Photoshopped them into the exterior location. Fuckin' A, Bubba...that is dedication.

Thanks, NDW. Your hands in different pockets are very sprzzz.

Unfortunately, couldn't go for the total sprzz explosion cause I still had to go to work today and the lapel flower, ps, loud coat and pants were well beyond the boundary of acceptable at my conservative work place. I am quite the source of entertainment for my colleagues.

Yeah I know what you mean. I am the unbuttoned jacket cuff of my office...
