Windy day calls for chili fifth aves and extra s130s layers.

Wow, that is a fantastic looking pinstripe suit! I dig the wide peak lapels. Thanks for the shirt tucking tip, I'll try it next time.

I notice often the optical-opposite colored (or trimmed) pocket square is just the thing. I'll have to try it next time I get dressed up.

Here's what I wore today. It's one of the few times I've tried to put a shirt under a sweater (or any layer under any other layer for that matter). I messed with different shirts and a couple of v-necks I've obtained until I arrived at this. I think it works.

The doc martens I was not sure about (meh on them in general), but their color works for me. What say you?

Buddy, I suspect you have many stories to tell that would require many drinks.

(also, I agree. Nice boots!)

No sense living a boring life.

I may not have Woolf Barnato's money, but I figure I can still have a full resume.

Almost worth getting hauled to the hospital in handcuffs over, courtesy of Ashley Sauber at Allen Edmonds. I'll tell you the story over drinks sometime.

That tie's a beaut [MENTION=15101]armedferret[/MENTION] - Hober?

Indeed it are. Snagged it for a couple Andrew Jacksons on styleforum. Dig it.

Looks good Nathan! Shirts a tad bunched up front, i avoid this by gathering any excess at the side seams, pulling outward, then "folding" to the rear. Takes a bit of practice but easy enough to master and really improves the front aesthetic.

A minor niggle in the long run of course.

I learned civilian clothing is authorized for ID photos and since mine expires tomorrow, I've opted full beans on the photo. Never get to do THIS again so....hehehe?

Very nice, gentlemen - you put me to shame! Not very long ago, my wardrobe was comprised entirely of oversized, years-old stuff from old navy and wal-mart. I decided to start dressing better, but I'm around the house most of the time nowadays, and I haven't worked up to wearing a suit for that.

This outfit is nothing by your standards, but may be a personal best for casual-wear. I think it works for the grocery shopping and errand-running I did today....... Possibly better untucked or with lighter jeans, but it's a start.

Let me know what I could improve. Thanks!

How is the sleeve length on those?

I'd say pretty good! Although it's a little hard getting my hand in/out through the sleeve cuff with it buttoned. The untucked shirts are inherently more casual so they don't need to be ending exactly at the wrist or anything like that.

BR slim/untucked flannel (finally, widely available off the rack shirts for short guys!)

Buddy, looking good. Since the whole 'work from home' thing has taken over my life, I a haven't worn a suit in over a month now. When time comes, I wonder if I'll even remember how to tie a tie...

Thanks mang. And I wouldn't sweat it, like riding a bike....Bow ties, that's a whooooole other ballgame.

I opted for my other double-breasted today, also Suitsupply, this one's a S120s birdseye.
