Subtly adding sartorial elegance to our ads

We recently had some high resolution photos done for our current ad campaign. The photographer and our marketing person were focusing on the food and decor. I was too, but couldn't resist adding some sartorial touches.

Bespoke Alan Flusser DB cream Doeskin dinner jacket with wide shawl lapels, RL black with white pindots bow tie, c. 1920 black and white enamel double sided cufflinks on sterling.

The sartorial touches add a most welcome element of elegance and sophistication.

I must admit, though, that I was far more fascinated by the picture of the food, it looks absolutely delicious.

Looks really great. I especially like the first photo. Are those MOP bottons on the dinner jacket?

Thanks.

Yes, they are MOP buttons on both the sleeves and the jacket front.

The photos look great Tom:
Elegant clothing goes very well with elegant food, very well done. Can't wait to get back out to see you and Meg again.

Best Regards, :D

The white jacket is a great touch. It has a relaxed elegance to it. I can almost hear the soft jazz in the background.....

Close - Brazilian Bossa Nova. Lot's of Gilberto Gil, Bebel Gilberto, Maria Norte, etc.

My wife was an exchange student in Brasil and has visited there 5 times over the past 25 years. We spent our honeymoon there and the daughter and son-in-law of her adopted Brazilian family now live with us in Wilmington. The son-in-law works for us at the restaurant while he is pursuing his PhD in English here in the US.

I love Bossa Nova music also.

What does Bossa Nova mean in English?

Great choice Tom. Bossa Nova = New Wave = Nouvelle Vague, which happens to be the name of an album that might interest you. Sultry French women singing old punk classics to bossa nova beats. Very quirky and fun without being obtrusive. Can't wait to visit the restaurant!
