So my white(ish) linen suit commission fell through over the summer but this might work. Being Drakes it of course costs almost as much as the full suit from NMWA did.

I do like that red matte nubuck crocodile coat. It's a steal at $40k too.

Heading out to Doi Moi for some French-Vietnamese fusion. Finamore linen overshirt, Informale linen tee, Rota linen pants, C&J loafers.



Cricket, the Cat Who Almost Died Last Week but Made It, gave me critical stying advice from my desk.

Careful, last time the French and Vietnamese got together things got awful spicy.
