@Alan, thanks for the quick hit-back. You are no doubt absolutely spot-on with that advice. I really should have opted for some lighter, more Summery footwear; and probably would have even gone sockless too. However I've been itching to get these RWs broken in, plus it's so damn tough to NOT wear new goods, right? LOL - They've been staring me down ever since I got them last week. So, although it may not be the wisest move, climate-wise, I was weak and fell victim to their charm.

Seriously, good call on your part, though. Would've been the smarter choice for sure. Thanks again for the feedback, bud!

Lots of awesome lately fellers.
In no particular order (and leaving out a lot): Alan, I like the seersucker action, even with that tie. It's loud, but F it.
BB, you're the linen master. I'm a big fan of that Ingram shirt, especially.
Lance F, I like that Henley layering on you. I don't know that it would work for me, but it does quite well for you.
BJ, that Thompson suit fits you amazingly well. Whatever you paid for it was a steal. And I agree with you re. the navy pants, khaki jacket move.
ZacharyR, the Kensington jacket had never looked better.

And my contribution today:


Jacket: J Crew
Shirt: J Crew
Tie: Lumina
Tie bar: The Tie Bar
Pants: Uniqlo
Shoes: Hanover

I like the tie! And you don't see Hanovers everyday. :-)

Hey, I understand. I'm just as guilty when it comes to new stuff. :-) And with the Red Wings, I don't blame you!

Robbo, good work. You hit the "smart casual" bullseye. Good luck on your trip today -- I hope it works out for you. If you find one that fits well, be sure to look for the identical jacket on eBay before you pull the trigger...

Alan - Here's a pic of non see through white pants you were asking about in another thread.



shirt, pants, and shoes - BR
belt - llbean
watch - orient with a new C&B nato strap

[Lance F.]

Lance - what brand/model of sunglasses are those? Thanks.

They are Tortoise Ray-Ban New Wayfayer RB2132 I believe. Same sun glasses that are in the previous red pants picture.

@BB: I have a pair of chocolate brown suede driving loafers, and sometimes I feel like they might be too dark for Summer too. I guess it depends on the outfit, and I think in your case there your DBs looks fine. Love that bag too, BTW, but man you're gonna have some neck/back issues if you're not careful. Might be time for a lesson in the *Lean Briefcase* concept, eh?

Also, thanks for the comment on my getup - I like that term "smart casual" - and also for the well wishes on my shopping trip - which actually sadly I couldn't take during lunch as I had hoped. Looking to stop in after work, so maybe there's still a shot today. Good advice on the ebay tip, but I get a little freaky not being able to try on the exact item. Sometimes clothes just fit whack - even the same cuts/fits from the same brand. Ya'know? Weird. Maybe it's just me. LOL

@Vicious, the Mako looks sweet on that *nautical* strap. I have that color scheme on a canvas strap too, but it's a cheapie from American Eagle or something. Bought a handful of them when, at like $3 a pop or something. Mine are 18mm, so I only can really use them correctly (fit-wise) on my old Swiss Army field watch. I'd like to get something nicer, in 20mm and 22mm, for colorful options on a few of my other watches. C&B, eh? Might have to check 'em out.

Also, the look in general today there is smooooooth. How do you like that BR shirt? I might snag a couple replacement short-sleeve sport-shirts for this Summer. I have far too many older, ill-fitting ones that are going in my "get-rid-off" pile. Trying to keep that EG leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeean wardrobe concept in mind these days. Sometimes it's tough to let go of the old. Ugh. LOL

[Vicious49]

I got this shirt last year. I have another one of their short sleeve shirts and well and that one fits much looser so I'd say try them on before buying.

I got 2 straps from C&B for about $23-$24 shipped. The other strap is my favorite with this watch. I'll try to wear it later this week.

Is your fave the Bond NATO? That's a classic one for sure, even though IIRC Connery wore one a size or two too narrow on his Sub in *Goldfinger*.

No, it's another new one I got. The Bond NATO is a bit boring for the summer. It's classic but the colors are all very dark/subdued. It works well in the fall and winter but I wanted something brighter for the summer time.

Figure I'll give this a shot.





Shirt: Nattyshirts
Pants: JCF chambray Bedford
Shoes: AE Strand
Socks: J. Crew
Belt: Hollister (only walnut belt I've stumbled across at TJ Maxx/Marshalls so far. Now I need to find a gray belt)

Gonna try this one more time

Took my son to Mystic, CT this weekend...this was yesterday at Mystic Seaport

Shirt: LEC
Belt: Vineyard Vines
Chinos: JCP
Shoes: LEC

The angle I held the phone to snap the pic makes my legs look a lot smaller than my torso...not really that disproportionate

[MarkB]

@dardyle--Is that shirt a mini gingham? It's kinda hard to tell (I do most of my browsing on my phone, so it may just be me). Personally, I would have either gone with a lighter or darker shirt (probably lighter, since it's spring/summer), for more contrast, but I like everything else. I like the navy shoes/belt with the teal (turquoise?) pants.

Nice! Cuánto cuesta?
