Not minimum, but "Medium" wardrobe suggestion

[Guest]

You know, if I felt that I looked perfect in every other way, I would probably go there too. But I do not yet feel that way. Plus medicine is really different. Incredibly OCD.

This Kilgour list is the only time I have seen the "tautz lapel," and I am quite curious about what this is. Is there anyone who knows? Tautz lapel??

The reference, I believe, is to one E. Tautz, a London tailor of note. Jackets featured a notched lapel. A little judicious googling revealed this link:

I have cuttings of that fabric and another fabric that Mr. Mauritzio gave to Mr. Shattuck -- a black ground with purple and cream dots. Both these fabrics are incredibly beautiful and may be worthy projects for the cloth club some day.

When Tony Maurizio moved out of 510 Madison, he gave Frank Shattuck several bolts of ancient cloth. One was a diamond pattern from the 1940s (dark and light gray). I can't say it is something I would ever wear, but it is stunning.

This would be my adaption,which I hope to progress to over the next four to five years. I live and work in a conservative town of about 20,000 in the midatlantic of the USA. I wear a suit during the week days for the practice of my profession. On the weekends I perhaps average one social event and one worship service for which an odd jacket and tie are more apprppriate.

And for shoes one should have 3 black pair and 9 brown ..."according to ample means moderately applied" (Storey,2008,37).
