Not sure who the lads are in the photo, but they look like they could use your advice related to things sartorial. Shirt collars, jacket button stance and pant rise should be in the curriculum.

The tallest - and best dressed, second to me - is my son. He could use some collar and pants advice, but never listens to daddy.
The two other lads are his stepbrothers; one who doesn't care, and one who doesn't try hard enough.

Funny to think that many on SF study sartorially at your feet, but your own flesh and blood won't take your advice. Does he even know that his dad is a SF celeb? I like the bearded gentleman's outfit other than the jacket. Great collar, tie and square.

He does know I'm deep into dressing, and he frowns.
I offered him a bespoke Savile Row suit when he graduated for Oxford.
But he rather take the money and waste them on a vacation with his girlfriend.
I sense a certain Freudian daddy issue here. Darn.
The bearded stepbrother is the one who know a lot about fashion, but doesn't try hard enough to dress well. With his knowledge he could have pushed it quite further.

Haha. "Listen son, I'm kind of a big deal on the internet."

Hahaha - not only is that a funny response but it gets double laughs for those of us who have been on SF a while and seen people post that comment almost verbatim in response to criticism, without a hint of irony or self awareness!
