I seem to have picked a popular color. Oh well, I haven't worn this shirt in at least a decade... Wearing something once every ten years is enough reason to keep it, right???

The shirt is Brooks Brothers, the tie is from The Tie Bar, and the suit is my brand new Napoli from Suitsupply that I just picked up today. Now I'm going to go wear it out to have some scotch.

I didn't want to do it... but I guess I will post my fit from 2 days ago. I felt like the shirt I wore today had a little too much blue to be considered for this contest.

I picked up about 10 RLPL polos as a lot and this one was included. I never knew what to pair it with, until I got this Brioni jacket, and can't imagine wearing it with another shirt because it seemed perfect IMO. The close-up represents the colors pretty well. My humble contribution (please use the second picture if only one for voting).

It would appear that most of us are generally guided by earth, sea, and sky in our shirting choices...

Probably the least aggressive entry, in a good way. Well done.

This is what the English calls good fun!

V
ery proper bespoke Steven Hitchcock velvet/grosgrain Dinner coat/bow, Budd collar, Turnbull & Asser PS - and "fun" Budd evening shirt made up of odd ends and pieces with proper Marcella front/cuffs!

A good thing you are not supposed to take off the coat - only your wife and/or mistress will ever know :hide: :bigstar:

Shirt is not my taste, but that jacket is quite possibly the most awesome thing I've ever laid eyes on.

It is not to anybody's taste - it is a joke - But an inside joke if you catch my drift :lol: :bigstar:
