This is one of a small handful of photos that makes me want a gray suit. I also want a small waist like his to go with it. The suit may be an easier goal.

Wow, all three of these are so damn sharp, this thread definitely has me convinced I need a light gray suit. Can't wait for springtime shopping.

As much as people say grey is versatile (and I believe it should be a staple) it appears that most of the pics posted so far use white shirts, moreso than in the Praise of Blue/Brown threads.

Just my unscientific opinion

But props to the great idea for these threads and the inspirational pics within them!

Well, I appreciate the kind words, but that does not look good to me (even ignoring the chubbiness). LOL

I second that. This and the navy thread are ideal stopping points if you are about ready to buy a suit. Great examples of cut, features, color shades, etc.

Yup. Problem is I already own a Garrison in 44 and this one's a 46. Would take some work but I lerve those rust stripes! Price is decent too at 1/3 retail.
