    That's what shows that it ain't pre-tied. ;)

    "I Am Dandy"

    Ray is a dandy. Anybody who takes an extreme interest in what they wear, no matter the style, is a dandy.

    1940s cc41 suit - beautiful striped fabric

    I was just throwing that out there. The lapels on the suit above look like they could use another inch or so and releasing the top button woud do that if it were a 3 roll 2. In any event, I too like the cloth. So it's got that goin for it.....:)

    1940s cc41 suit - beautiful striped fabric

    Yep. Try buttoning the top button of one of your 3 roll 2 and you"ll get something similar.

    1940s cc41 suit - beautiful striped fabric

    I'm thinkin it's a 3 roll 2. A cleaners did that to one of mine with similar results , though not as drastic as above.

    Show us their suits

    Besom pockets to boot. Patch pockets are usually the choice for that look.

    "Too good to use..."

    How about those thick clear plastic furniture covers you'd see in the 60s -70s. Didn't everybody have a relative with a living room full of that stuff.

    Thank God for Ralph Lauren

    I came upon a very nicely priced ($199) RL navy blue linen blazer with patch pockets and belt back at the local discount chain store. It had one major flaw: On the breast pocket was an embroidered crest of ficticious origin with removal impossible. Darn.

    What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?

    Oh so many, many comments come to mind but sadly none suitable for the FLounge.

    And we were told in school here that the dictionary made the crossing but the very first thing they did upon landing was to rewrite the darned thing so that it made some sense. :)

    Attention: Johnston & Murphy footwear owners

    It should be noted that AE and Alden never occupied the top rung of US makers back in the day, as they do now. It's not like their quality has slipped; they make them today just like they always have. It's brands like J&M and Florshiem that have slipped from the top rung to the bottom.

    Funny you mention BB and AE; Starting this season BB will be selling branded AE (as well as Edward Green) on their web site and in selected stores. I'm waiting to see if they discount the EG's like they do their Peals at their end of season sale. :)

    Shoes with grey suit for wedding...

    That's how I would roll, were I a sap carrier. :)

    Does anyone else hate the 'Regards' signature

    I would regard your reaction as somewhere north of bizarre.

    Attention: Johnston & Murphy footwear owners

    The reason the EG's feel like slippers is because of the quality of leather used on the uppers. Their 'country' line with thick sturdy soles are every bit as slipperlike. And the suppleness of the uppers does not make them fragile in any way so they needn't be babied. Just a result of high...
