No kidding? I find that most of my shoes build a mirror shine quickest with Pate de Luxe but I'm a fan of Boot Black otherwise, how many High Shine coats did that take?
It is complicated. I didn't strip down the previous shine completely (PDL and Mirror Gloss), so there are some layers there that I topped with BB. In other notes, today the weather dictated that I wear another Fresco Lite suit.

Great look. How big are the leg openings there? I like pants slightly tapered below the knee but with my calves anything less than 19cm doesn't really drape nicely and every time I sit down the leg of the pant gets caught on the sock.
The leg openings are 19cm on these trousers. The fabric is heavy so they drape very well and look very slim.

Gorgeous suit, a more subdued look, this one, with peak lapels below the shoulder line.
Thanks for the kind words. Let me clear one misconception. My suits don't have lapels above the shoulder line. Let me explain: I am extremely tall. Most pictures are taken from an unflattering angle, which means the lapels appear to be peaking above the shoulder line when they are not.

I look forward to seeing how your dress changes deeper into summer when it feels like endless sun. I will always remember and miss that sun past 10pm. It was like being forever young.
Cheers! Where I come from, in the north of Sweden, the sun sometimes never sets. It is something quite else.
