Yup, the shirt is their "ging crosby" or some such play on words in the Slim fit.

I'm also looking at throwing some money at an OCBD from Bonobos.

Cool deal, thanks for the info and personal feedback/input. And yeah, the OCBDs that I was checking out on their site were the "Rhodes Collar" or whatever. LOL I kinda like the extra effort put into the naming. Any idea where their shirts (at least these we're talking about) are actually made? I've seen a mix of origins with their pants, at Nordy Rack, so just curious. I guess I could google it, but hey, that's takes the fun outta the convo.

It was more baked goods smelling.

I would wear this. Heck, I would rub cookies under arms every morning if it wouldn't ruin the cookies. :-P

Is the Cologne thread up yet Yoyo? Finally made my way through all those Perfumed Court decants.

I started to reply to shad0w's comment above, in way too much detail, so I'm gonna plop that over into a reply in the new thread, as soon as I start it. LOL - You wanna know if I'm procrastinating? Let me get back to you on that.

It's finally warm enough to start rolling the sleeves up. Which works out perfectly since the Calibrate trim fit shirts fit me flawlessly except the sleeves are about 1" too short.

Feel ya there, man. I'm wearing a Brooks Bros shirt today with which I basically *have* to roll-up the sleeves. I thrifted it, knowing full well that they were too short, but the rest fit great, so I told myself I'd just accept wearing it that way - rolled-up.

Alan, diggin' those patterns there, man. And the mac is sweet too. Thrifted, you say, eh? Even better!

I have a couple of shirts that way. They just shrank over time. One in french cuffs is getting donated. The other in barrel cuffs I'm on the fence about.

Hey guys (especially mods, if you're listening), *where* should I add the new cologne thread? In "Other?"

I mean, you do *wear* it - thus the reason I list and show it in (most of) my WIWT pics - so I guess it could fall under the "Etc." in the "Clothing, Shoes, Watches, Etc." - but then again, it's not really "attire."

I'm hunting for a good linen/blend jacket still, damn monkey arms! You should give me yours, I rather like the look of it

Thanks! I lucked into this one during a New Years Day sale (middle of winter) for something like 75% off. However, I popped the button off while trying to take off my rain coat not 5 minutes after this picture was taken. :-P

You should probably just cut the sleeves off altogether for that sweet Joey Lawrence circa 1993 look.

Only did this for Yoyo!
Wearing a lovely paint thinner base cologne today(had it for years and need to make room for the sampler I ordered)

And well didn't turn on the light and took a pick
SS Linen Brown
Herringbone Sport coat
CT red puppy tooth shirt
Slidebelt Brown belt
And not show AE Brown brown strawfut

Love the square/shirt/jacket combo. The pants look slightly out of place though. Could just be that you needed to iron it.

Haven't been pulling my weight around here so here y'all go.

Raincoat: Aquascutum macintosh (thrifted)
Sport coat: HSM - cotton/linen blend
Shirt: Roundtree & Yorke - poplin button down collar
Belt: Daniel Cremieux - alligator print black/brown reversible
Pants: Brooks Brothers - tan wool
Shoes: Bronx Dekimo

That's a great mac, I could never find stuff like that. Every time I go, it's just rows and rows of smelly square toed rubber soled shoes, shirts with hideous patterns or weird stains, pleated pants, etc. I've given up on the idea of me finding anything decent at a thrift store.

Anyway, really like the pattern on the sport coat too. In fact the whole outfit looks great.

It's part of the presentation so I say put it under "Clothing, Shoes, Watches, Etc.". If they don't agree, they can always move it.

LOL - Well, alllllllllright! Can't speak to that one, personally. My only Tom Ford is Tobacco Vanille, which is awesome; but I only wear it in the cooler (mostly *colder*) months. Enjoy your long weekend, doooooooode.
