So, pretty much anyone who should be concerned with their image should dress like that on weekends.

I, just like you, began to work with a tailor recently. I've been saving and am currently waiting for an odd coat. I have yet to get a full suit. I never really needed one. I am content with the bespoke hand-me-downs from my god father. As I get ready to graduate I will need to purchase at least a f...

Nice. I wish I could go in on the purchase. Although I dislike brown shoes. I'm warming up when I see such masterpieces as these 2 pairs.

Isn't the whole point of the Savile Row Bespoke association supposed to "certify shops"? Who cares if bespoke is watered down. It was before the ruling came down. All over the web you see bespoke being applied to any and everything, from computers to porn. The ruling is just a realization that the t...

Surely, all that RWS is saying is: dress in a way that is appropriate to the environment and the company; or, put another way, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.... Where is the difference between you? I discern none - although.. I have just been able to see the last picture where the chap is weari...

I love the no break look. I don't see it very often.

I guess I'm lucky that I'm cold natured. I've been wearing an 18oz tweed around ATL constantly for a month now. Are you 6ft tall and a darkskin, handsome East-African? If you are can we trade skin Nicholas Cage & Travolta style like in Face-Off ? I am entirely too hot natured. Even the lightest sen...

Sir Royston,

Thurston is way out of a college boy's( you would say University boy's) budget. I was able to get 1 pair from a thrift store and man to do appreciate it. It is a light bluish purple hue. Goes well with blue & pink shirts.

Thanks for all the replies, gents.

Over the next year I hope to create a photographic record of a good deal of my wardrobe as an offering to the LL. This, for the simple fact that there is a real lack of photographic material on the web that addresses the subject of masculine elegance. I guess I will need to take some photo lessons ...

I've recently been fortunate enough to wear mine. It seems, after nearly 8 years, Atlanta is finally getting a proper winter. Looks like I might get to wear light weight tweeds well into March.

I have a light tweed odd jacket and can only stand to wear it in less than 50* weather. It might be because I tend to be warmer than most people and I do alot of walking between buildings as a university student. Good luck wearing tweed for more than 2 months in "Hotlanta". I surely can't

No, I am too poor. If I had extra money I would spend it on a new mac book pro 15" to get me through my university education.

Sator,

Thanks for supplying all the details on the stroller rig. Well, yes, not exactly stealth. In the context of the discussion stealth was just the term for piecing it together from previous purchases.

Also, can you post the rig if you decide to get the lavender waistcoat?

Is that your stealth stroller rig much mentioned in your ask andy forum discussion with Alan C? Looks great. Images like that make me wish I wasn't a poor student and could afford bespoke. In time........

Hey, just noticed the buff waistcoat. Excellent use of an odd waistcoat.

Hi GB, I would agree with those above that an off-white pina, banana, or jusi Barong is appropriate for formal or semi-formal wear in larger US cities. I'm half-Filipino and have lived for extended periods in the Philippines. I apply Filipino standards to the US, ie wearing a pina or jusi barong wi...
