Having worn today's suit's fraternal twin Sunday, I decided to compare and contrast for today. Included in today's posting are two photos of my complete suspender/brace collection, as someone had asked to see it, and I was curious to see how many pairs of braces I owned, finding some pairs in the back of the drawer that I had forgotten about.

Suit - Paul Stuart/Phineas Cole
Shirt - Brooks Brothers
Tie - Charvet
Cufflinks - Metropolitan Museum of Art
Braces - Paul Stuart
Pocket square - Ede & Ravenscroft
Shoes - Paul Stuart
Overcoat - Turnbull & Asser
Scarf - Paul Stuart
Hat - Lock
Face mask - New & Lingwood

I’ve been watching a fair share of Kirby Allison unboxings on YouTube lately and thought I’d actually try some black shoes with a suit. Being in the US, and the medical field, I’m almost never obligated to reach for them. Figured it wouldn’t hurt to see if I could carry off black and navy.

Suit: LBM in VBC110’s
Shirt: Canali
Tie: Sam Hober solid twill madder
PS/belt: Simonnot Godard
Boots: EB black calf and peccary button boots

Midweek, and the temperatures in NYC have dropped like a stone - 11C was the high yesterday afternoon, and today's high is anticipated to be only 0C, with significant wind chill factor. By all rights, I should be bundled into my heaviest flannel three-piece, but opted instead for today's suit - three pieces, but of a midweight worsted fabric. For contrast to yesterday's suit, nearly my newest, today's is one of my oldest suits, bought 11 years ago last August. The difference in fit is noticeable - today's suit is much fuller cut, with a longer jacket, and pleated trousers - not the slim profile of yesterday's Phineas Cole, but this suit is easier to move around in.

Suit - Brooks Brothers Golden Fleece
Shirt - Brooks Brothers
Tie - Yves Saint Laurent
Cufflinks - Penhaligon's
Pocket square - Ashear
Vintage watch chain
Shoes - Carmina
Overcoat - Paul Stuart/Phineas Cole
Scarf & face mask - New & Lingwood
Hat - Selentino, via JJ Hat Center
