Nice colour composition. As always would like to see the trousers wider and longer, the tie somewhat shorter.

Button down collars seem very popular in America, so much less here in Europe. I don't have a single shirt with that style of collar and probably never will.

From Friday. It was supposed to snow so I wore boots. Love these pants.

Great looking shirt and collar @ericgereghty

Less so? I'd say it's like a 50-50 between cutaway/spread and bd where ever I go in Europe. Way less bd with suit and tie though.

I can't say whether you figure/impression is exact, as I don't have statistics about, but here in Berlin and in Rome I see few Button Downs around, worn and to buy. It can be due to the fact that the style has its origins in America. Possibly the style is more spread in Great Britain, that traditionally has more cultural exchanges with the States. Of course there are fans in other parts of Europe. I remember a time in which the BD became pretty popular in Italy, probably driven by the fact that Gianni Agnelli was a fan, wearing it with the buttons undone though.

Well it's definitely an estimate rather than a fact, just based on my personal experience from Sweden/Germany/Spain. In my wardrobe the bd to spread ratio is probably 70-30, used to be 99% bd.

A new gunclub in the collection

Superb outfit. Only thing though is that you should re-lace your shoes and not have the generic factory one.

Eh?
I ‘straight lace’ every single pair of my lace-up shoes and boots like this and along with it being the best looking way to lace up footwear, I can categorically say that I have NEVER had a pair of shoes come out of the box (factory?) like this. I ALWAYS have to re-lace them from the generic factory outside-in crossover style.

That is a lazy way of doing a straight lace in my book. The way the shoes I commented were laced is wrong because when you pull the laces, it applies pressure on the top of the boot from one lace and at the bottom of the boot with the other. Don't know a better way to explain this, due to the late hour and my mediocre English.

Can never properly capture the shade of this jacket. The check is much more subtle in person. It also sucks up lint. Oh well.
