FWIW, that is considered conservative business dress in Hawaii. Foo's looks like laundry day.

If it's going to be nostalgic and spring picnic, why not make it black raw denim and Adidas sneakners?

Oh, I forgot, it's the Ambrosi thread.

You don't think so? Think it's pretty rampant, actually.

Did Ambrosi come to the US or was his trip canceled?

Well, then they are doing it wrong because they have no other elements of the look even close to right.

He sent a facebook message saying he was postponing his trip a couple weeks. He told medtechexpert that he would be bringing my pants. I hope both things are true.

M, I'm in Naples again next weekend and should be picking up my next set of pents from Salvatore. If you like, I can take your commissions with me. Keep in mind that I'm not back in SF until early June, just let me know.

+1. although that sweatshirt is horrendous. anything else and it would've been great. Those pants fit beautifully.

there are plenty of designer pants which run $800 that are meant to be worn with sneakers. Lanvin etc.

Sometimes I feel ones effort regardless of the execution is worth a lot more than one just wearing a sweatshirt because it fits better or the color constrasts with the sweatpants better.

It's the pleats that throw everything off.

what's so inherently formal about pleats and flannel?

i thought flannel was kinda casual on the scale of things. Pleats just make things comfortable/fit nicely.

So what you are all saying is that when you want to wear a sweater, you pretty much have to wear jeans?
