I am pretty sure the BB sacks I have date from the 70s-80s, but am not learned in dating based on lot and style numbers.

I do. It air dries quickly and always ends up with volume to make Conan O'brien fight David Spade. My wife and my mother hate me for it.

Nice classic look, Nick.

Thanks, Crusty.

That's the burning white sun of a Texas afternoon. When it gets sunny around here, it does not mess around. Anything in particular old manish though?

Several things: - The boxy cut of the suit - The true 3-button jacket - The low armhole and the wide sleeve - The short lapels - The closed quarters - Roomy pants - Lots of break at the cuff The tie is very nice!

How? If anything, it shows a well-made jacket with the collar sitting perfectly and nary a crease.

Mktitsworth: you got the right idea on the colors. Very classic look. (Light gray suit, white shirt, navy pindot tie, brown shoes). However, the fit is very off. Fit means a lot. I will second what Acecow said. Stay away from 3-button jackets. This is you:

This is an example of the same colors with a much better fit:

N - love the jacket and the tie. I think lighter gray pants would have been better though.
