Trying for something casual. The day's task: shoe shine lessons from the family marine.

I'd untuck the sweater.

This picture doesn't do the jacket justice, it's a really subtle pattern similar to blackwatch.

Nice fabric on the jacket. What's the contrast like with the trousers?

The "Modern" Classics. Great look.

As per the advice of several of you in this forum (and others more closely linked to my real life), I made a change to my glasses frames (I needed a new prescription anyway - aging does that to a person), and also decided, with the new style of glasses, that the facial hair did not "fit". Hence the different person you see before you in today's posting. Also, taking criticism from last week (Friday's suit was thought to be too boxy - a conclusion with which I wholeheartedly concurred - it's seeing the tailor today), I decided to see if my most fitted suit would still fit me. From the photos, I think that the chest is a shade tight, but the fact that I can don it at all is gratifying (I bought it at the low point for my weight in recent times, and it's been various forms of too tight every since). For your entertainment, then (possibly) . . . (The re-do of my image does make my signature line rather passe - sorry, Tibor.)

You are looking much better, sir.
The new frames suit you perfectly.

Nice mods, crusty!

The frames and loss of facial hair have really changed your appearance - this looks good (not that I thought the previous look didn't suit you).

The suit jacket does look a tad snug, but not beyond wearable, might be worth seeing if the button can be moved slightly (it might also open the quarters a little.

Welcome! Your poses remind me of one Crusty who used to post here.

Great look all around. Fresh. Just in time for Spring. Now if only this weather would cooperate.

First fit on here in a while. I've been hanging out with the cool kids on the otherside of the playground, and only been popping back for the odd catchup.








(sorry for the poor quality pics).

No, I am not in college. I have read about the Jimma region before. That's very cool about your grandmother.

Good Lord, you are like a new person! I approve. Is it my imagination or is that suit slimmer in the leg than some of your others? It seems to fit you better.

^ Is it just me or is something seriously wrong with the shoulders on the guy on the left in ToiletDucks pic? CRUSTY : WOW!!! Looking good. Nice job on the tuneup.
