The suit is about 10 years old; MTM Oxxford. Also, it has a vest.

Sadly, the suit no longer fits. A regimen of exercise and running has made the suit too large. I've had it altered as far as it can go. Yesterday was the last wearing.

+1 on that - been there, done that, happier to be thinner and more healthy. Onwards to the next suit, in a smaller size!

Some loose ends to tie up today, plus a 20 degree temperature drop on the overnight, so took out the full cord rig for probably the last time for a bit. Thanks to Threadbearer for the tie!

Moo,

Really nice outerwear jacket, and it seems to fit you well. LV tote is a little too logo heavy and effeminate for my comfort zone, but to each his own.

Thank you, sir.

Picture taken en route to a wedding that I had to play this morning. Last night, after watching the Royal Wedding, the bride called and requested if I could change the recessional music to "Crown Imperial" (William Walton). Sigh, "OK". I suppose they all will want that music, now.
