This got panned in the other thread so posting here.







Suit : 50$ cotton blend.
Shirt: Wills lifestyle 100% cotton. 25$
Belt: 5$
Shoes: 5$
Tie: 5$
Sunglasses: 20$
pocket square: < 1 $ Pure cotton handkerchief

All prices are indicative and approx as they are converted from INR. All these items are bought online at discount rates without first seeing them or trying them on but these are not second hand items.

Lessens learned so far:

Change the tie and shoes. OK can be done.
Remove the sunglasses: Ok can be done. But are they that bad?
Take better pics: Ok can be done.
Alter the pants at the bottom: Ok can be done.

But i really have to make this somehow work because if i had 10000$ to fly to saville row to hire a bespoke tailor, I would have already done that.
What is your size?

Nice Nixon rotolog! I had the same one when they were released way back. Still have it somewhere.

Yeah, I'm not a "watch guy" in the slightest, but the combination of the wood grain and the unique mechanism made me want one real bad.
