I will try to take some for you tomorrow. All I have so far is one picture I posted to WIWT. There is not much shoulder padding; I can easily pinch the shoulders together unlike a more structured jacket.

Looks MUCH better here! A great fit on you, and nice drape. Smart looking. Would love to see the shoulder and the inside the jacket, if not too inconvenient.

This is the blue nailhead jacket again. I tried to get a picture of the shoulders front and back, but it was pretty awkward. I suppose I need a camera timer app.

Todd SnyderTimex I picked up on sale recently. Unfortunately it has the annoying Timex tick

Amazon has a great product here in the tens of dollars range.

I agree these look fantastic--can you link to the brown one? I'm not seeing any in the "tens of dollars" range... The cheapest one when I search is a nasty light red at $80.

Do keep in mind that these are all Euro sizing. That's why they keep getting returned.

Also, the regular is 1"–1.5" shorter than other sports jackets I have in regular. I measured 30.5" down the middle of the back of both laid flat.

Celebratory purchase. Snuff suede, wingtip derbies from Carmina. Been on my list a while and with a recent personal accomplishment, I treated myself.

There is a lot of research about happiness and buying things vs. experiences and how experiences in the long term win out but all of my Carminas have been celebratory purchases and I love them every time I put them on my feet.

Thank you.

I finally own a pair of walnut Strands. The BB version from the recent sale where they were $220 or whatever. Now I understand why dudes like these so much and try to find excuses to wear them with navy suits. They are sexy shoes.

BUT STILL NOT FOR NAVY SUITS

Will post WIWT pics later.

Just ordered a few of those long sleeve polos from Bonobos off the main page. [MENTION=2341]LesserBlackDog[/MENTION] you got me interested in the long sleeve polo over a button down look from another thread Anyone have any idea on the fit? I got a slim. Hopefully they fit.

Walnut brogues just work with a variety of outfits. AE walnut has a variety of shades so it will be interesting to see what shade yours end up being. Nice pickup.

I have wanted a couple long sleeve polos. At $14, it seems like a no brainer.

[MENTION=4069]JBarwick[/MENTION] that was exactly my feelings. I figured I would give it a try and if it doesnt work out, not a big loss. Can always wear them as an under layer.

Do you guys know sizing on those bonobos polos? I'm a pretty perfect match for an S&M 16.5 slim OTR shirt.

I am a 15.5" slim at S&M and it seems to match with a Large at Bonobos so you may want an XL? Just compare chest measurements.
