Oh PG.....Originally Posted by maomao1980
- I know.. If only I had a Super Trust Fund
LOL.Originally Posted by TRINI
If I could nitpick one thing about PG's recent PJ fits is that I'm not a fan of the narrower lapel.
- I agree & is an area that I have discussed with PJ, but as this is a MTM program there is only so much that can be done in the short term. Though with both Ethan & I persisting..
He took a pic after a day's work and the material picks up creases more easily than other materials (see my pics of how my suit looks before vs the hands in pocket of after a couple days of moving around).Originally Posted by aeglus
- in this case yes & the light was very bad & there was only so much I can do PP
+1 Still high res. photos, and processing always emphasise these things - in real life they wouldn't be nearly as apparant.Originally Posted by ManofKent
- correct, if I was to shoot with a basic P&S the image quality & detail would be vert pedestrian
No. Creases and long ripples are very different things.Originally Posted by gdl203
- agreed
They are but both can be created after a day of moving around. That said, it'd be fair to ask PG if his suit pics are fresh or after a bit of play.Originally Posted by aeglus
- end of day
I could be very (w)rong but I think he takes his pics first thing in the morning.Originally Posted by TRINI

I keep my suit jacket pockets sewn shut so that I'm not tempted to carry anything in them. I carry a supper thin credit/business card wallet in my breast pocket and my keys and cell phone and other essentials in my briefcase.

Ditch the square and maybe swap in lace-ups for monks and I think this is UCBD.Originally Posted by Manton
2-3 red ties in about as many days? What changed the aversion?

Not all that conservative business dress, and not what I wore today, but I know Manton loves a striped shirt with white ground ...
(That's actually the very shirt with white ground I was talking about earlier in the thread -- forgot I took a pic that day.)

Call me a marsupial, but what does conservative business dress stand for?

Nice look.

Man, if only I'd posted my pics before I got to work, it would have looked like you were copying *me*
