I've been on vacation for a bit. I took a bunch of pics. I'll post one a day because I'll be low on material for a while. No work and all.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

6/28/13 in Boston

Spoiler: Details.

Top half is very nice imho, the lower half leds down a bit. Stronger contrast between coat and pants would have been more pleasing to the eye; what are the shoes? Seem a little informal to me.

Methinks you're overthinking it.

I gave a fit-critique, isn't that the whole purpose of this board?

Anyway, back to conservative business dress:

In RTW, yes, you're right, most suits and SC have a fabric tag. For MTM or bespoke, it becomes a stylistic choice:

All of my MTM coats and trousers come with the fabric label by default. Never gave it much thought, really. I wouldn't call it a "stylistic" choice, in any case.

thats quite the angle, MF.

The shoes are Generic Surplus wingtip sneakers. They're waterproof. I thought it was going to rain that day, I was going on vacation and wanted to pack as sensibly as possible. I actually had a rain jacket on earlier in the day, but changed when I saw that it wasn't going to rain. I'm not crazy about wearing them with a tie, but I don't want to ruin my good shoes.

I've always been curious about footwear when it rains. Waterproof shoes? Waterproof spray on leather/suede? Or galoshes? What do you guys do?

Rain doesn't ruin shoes. It's that simple. I wear my leather shoes in all kinds of weather, never had a problem (and Berlin winters are harsh). Of course I don't hike in them for hours in the rain, but walking through the city for some hours, long subway rides... no problem.

I've never had a problem with my shoes either. Sweden is moody when it comes to weather but it hasn't been a bother.
+1 on the tie MF, I like it.

Overshoes/galoshes. I have blue Swims.

Cheers guys, the E.G. Cappelli is one of my favorite conservative business dress ties!

And yes, after I was done typing I noticed it sounded dirty to inconspicuously take a selfie in the tube, but I know how much you appreciate that.

well, it may not ruin them, but sufficient water can really cause leather soles to soften up and wear down faster ime. galoshes are the way to go i think. YMMV.
