@TSM I have that same suit. Looks better on you, though.

For a moment I thought you were Don Draper. Kudos.

As a big Mad Men fan, I definitely appreciate that!

That's a good way to pop a cherry right there.

Thanks mate!

Thank you! I enjoy the lapels and soft shoulders of the jacket.

Losing my WAYWRN-virginity with a grey flannel suit.

Heck of an opener! I’d vote for cuffs, but I’ll say ymmv so as not to create another epic battle on the topic.

Also, I always vote for beard over no beard.

Forgive the ignorance, but where’s the suit from? I love patch pockets and that texture is rich.

It's a Suitsupply Hudson from maybe two years ago. I love the texture too. I don't wear it as a full suit often these days because the trousers are too tight.

Thank you, it means a lot! I also prefer cuffs, however not enough fabric on these trousers I´m afraid.

As someone who will be in LA this week, I am secretly hoping to run into you. You're what we strive to be like.

Apropos to nothing, why does Alan Flusser dislike the centre vent?

That's really cool, E. I feel like the tie and jacket don't have much love for each other... but then also feel that suggesting a plain-colored silk knit tie instead might not be pushing things as far as you wanted.

Either way, you're definitely putting up a lot of food for thought lately.

Apropos to nothing, why does Alan Flusser dislike the centre vent?

Gapes open and exposes your backside if you stand with your hands in your pockets.

Also, at the time Flusser was writing his books side vents were mostly seen on bespoke and English tailoring and centre vents were associated with low-end RTW. Things have changed since then and side vents are pretty much everywhere now. Even the Italians rarely make anything else.

I'm a ventless man myself

Just got this 1940's suit and I thought it was classic enough to not alter, mainly regarding the trousers. Typical ethan styling, but offset the wide leg trousers with more "contemporary" choice of loafers.

Honestly, I don't wear super vintage stuff out/for work but I think this was a good one. Arnold Wong of Attire House was a big inspiration. I know he does bespoke, but he seems to request wide leg trousers and makes them work! It's a little eccentric, but I like it.

February is a quiet month so far for me when it comes to wearing something tailored. Today I finally got a chance and went with this one.
