Hey! ^ I'm wearing those exact shoes right now. Spring has sprung!

@Acousticfoodie: Thanks! I've always been weary of tan/brown/taupe suits, but the opportunity presented itself so I figured it was a mistake that I could afford to make if I got it wrong. I'm glad I picked it up, though.


The weave is a bit rough, but it's half-lined across the back and unlined in the legs so it's still suitable for spring. I don't think it'll last me into the summer, though. We'll have to see about that...


@Lance: It actually has a dimple, but you can't see it in the pic because the matte finish on the cotton tie soaks it up.

BTW, Acoustic, I really like those shoes. It took me a little while to warm up to the concept of suede wingtips, but now I really want a pair.

[Acousticfoodie]

@Lance - no worries! I appreciate constructive criticism and always encourage it. Best way of learning.


@BenR - haha yea, how is your pair holding up?


@Alan - Thanks! They were on sale for under 60 from amazon awhile ago I believe. And yes I am using the bue/white check hankie lol. Blue and white check is ok or not? All blue would be bad as LAnce points out.

[alan]

@Lance: If Acoustic is using the hankie set I think he's using, I'd bet he's actually using the same pocket square I have on today (if you check my pic above). It's just that as that distance and resolution, it happens to match his tie by coincidence. In actuallity, it's blue/white checkered.

@Alan - Nice suit, hard to believe that was a thrift.


@Acoustic- Lookin good, man. I really like the light blue tie/navy blazer combo, and i love the shoes.

Nice shoes foodie, what brand/style are they?


It's raining in the SF Bay Area today.

[Acousticfoodie]

@Jordan - thanks!


@ nftmlk: They were featured last year on dappered: http://dappered.com/2011/04/spring-s...urphy-brennan/ If you wait until spring is over you can get them for around 60 bucks potentially like last season from amazon.

@acoustic and anyone else interested, those J&M Brennan's hold up quite well over time. Mine are only a year old, but have seen a lot of wear and are going strong. Also, super comfortable.

Or right here if you happen to be an 8.5: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Johnston-Mur...261#vi-content

^ $50, good deal! too bad I'm not an 8.5

[trash]

Hah, I'm an 8.5! If they're true to size I'd consider it, but the listing says one is lighter than the other...can you darken suede?

[Acousticfoodie]

Gloomy weather today.

@acoustic What jacket is that? No Merona blazer today?

[Acousticfoodie]

@Mathis: No merona Blazer today....but instead converse for target jacket!
