Thanks. That tweed is almost bullet proof but wears much softer.

Then I recommend that you take several robo-pose pictures of yourself wearing the suit -- front, side, rear -- and invite members to assess the fit. With that info and a good alterations tailor, you might be able to make this suit work without spending too much on it. You won't know until you've posted the pics, though.

Those two things aren't necessarily related, ace.

Hey, Fred - Take good care of the cymbidium orchids and they should last you a LONGG time - I used to grow them myself...Don't overwater, give them plenty of indirect light and keep them cool - not HOT - or better yet, let Nero Wolfe in and he'll help you. AND, of course, you're outfit is fabulous!!! And never mind that we all love your 'place' ......

Spoozy - when I first saw your outfit, I thought "WOW!! Cool fit for you - and a bit more conservative than your usual. It looks great!!!" Congrats!!

Thanks guys - FWIW, the tie is purple, not burgundy - but I see what PSG is saying. I liked the fit, but I think there was something that lacked harmony to tie it all together. Cant put my finger on it.

A spring-like choice of shirt and tie, despite the fact that it will not break 43F/8C today in NYC.

Wishing can make it spring, no?

FWIW, then . . .

Probably for the best, but it's good that you captured that silk geyser for posterity.
