I am, thus, entertaining any thoughts on how I can publically support this thread with my next post. I have to reserve 24,999.

Thank you.

Options:

1. get the crew together and post the conservative business dress WAYWRN to end all conservative business dress WAYWRNs

2. moo

On second thought, if post count is that important to you, why don't you ask j to freeze it at whatever number you want?

He will have to throw himself down a hill, dust himself off then take pics & post or else all will be for naught. Unless his post includes the snuffy coat

I suggest you just keep editing this post with all your comments. People will quote it and thus keep it relevant order. At least theoretically.

My NSM suit has spalla camica and has a more casual look than the others I have from Chan. I'm thinking of making a dark navy next and I'm wondering if I should get it with a little rollino in case I want to wear it as UCBD.

Yes, Solito shirtsleeve. I like the shirtsleeve and get it on all my stuff from him. Honestly, I don't think it effects conservative business dress at all. I can't stand roping and when I use tailors who don't do the shirtsleeve, I prefer the seam pressed dead flat.

Vox- I think you should use one of your posts to showcase multiple recent fits and go out with a bang...

C&J handgrade, calfskin. They just appear shinier in this photo.

I murdered it with an Ice pick by comparison to what else I saw at this event, which was business formal.

The photo quality of my HTC phone is superb by comparison to that of the apple phones, I'll have to stop asking my GF to take pics.
