Really nice socks/shoes combination. One of the rare pair of bluchers I can get behind. I know you've posted them before and probably have given details, but can you repeat them?

I concur. Manton, while your shoes are usually drool-worthy, I would like them much more if they didn't always look totally scuffed up and dirty. Just a quick polish once a week is all it takes! Love the latest tie by the way, to add on to the praise.

conservative business dress minus lapels?

I hate having to post outfits that arent totally conservative business dress in this thread just to get some good feedback.. I really wish you guys would post the same kind of detailed critiques in the regular WAYWRN

Any comments are appreciated though, good or bad! I'm looking to improve.

Had to rush out to work so no time. I'm loving the fit on this suit now that the waist has been taken in...

Love the shoulders there banis. Also love the fabric of your shirt. Dislike the tie (Panta?). Where's the suit from?

Thanks! Tie is indeed Panta. Suit is from NSM.

I see and understand your point. Initially, I wanted to try spalla insellata on this suit, but at the last moment decided to go with the spalla camicia. Maybe next time I'll order concave shoulders on a striped suit.

^Very nice (although gorge looks a little high). How much direction did you give or is that the cut she chose for you?

I got it years ago at the Alan Flusser shop in NY. Not bespoke, does not match the coat. Flusser's is the only place I have ever seen that shape. I suppose Budd could make you one easily, though.
