Can You Top It?

Ah, beat me to it!

Here's one I actually did wear and still like:

I can actually dig that one. Stripes, plaid and polka dot. The mix made me register no patterns at first glance.

to take from dandyism's website real quick...

And, to show that maybe it's the person and not the outfit...I present the man who MUST show off BOTH his cuff links(as well as his watch) in every picture.

lol....

Ok- that guy looks really, really obnoxious. I think it's the rosey cheeks.

Facetiousness aside, this is what I meant by a neck scarf.

Dot's, Stripes, Plaids and Paisleys. Oh my.

Here's one I actually did wear and still like:

Nicely done Alan.:eusa_clap That lapel button hole reminds me of an Oxxford. Let me know when you're moving to the frozen north. We hire you in a nano second. Cheers.

Or maybe the way he MUST show off BOTH his cufflinks (as well as his watch) in every picture.

The man clearly has no life.

At first I thought the picture said "Hitler's Family Attic," but even Hitler wouldn't dress this bad.

Silk and Cashmere Sharkskin Suit.

Ok, here's my attempt at topping it. This suit I designed from a picture of the great Nat King Cole. It was for a fashion show at a convention of Custom Clothiers in Vegas two years ago. Here's the scoop. The fabric is an English Silk and Cashmere Sharkskin weave. The Coat is a single breasted (yes, it has a high armhole Matt) peaked lapels, ten inch side vents, slanted pockets, covered buttons, pic stitching and turn back cuffs. The Trouser is a flat front, adjustable side tabs, Daks style pockets, plain bottom with a "V" cut on the outseam. We also made a tie out of the matching orange silk paisley lining. The whole garment was made trimmer to mimmick the early 1960's.
It didn't win. But hey, it's all about participating (yeah right).

Love the suit Marty M. How could you not have won??

 

[Marty M.]

Judges will recieve cement shoes.

Simple, no Italian Judges. Actually, the Clothier that won is a good friend of mine. His suit came with a matching 8 panel cap. :eusa_doh: I'll know better next time.

[Marty M.]

Thanks buddy.

... that's really amazing.

Thanks Jovan. I love Connery's Satin Sleeve Cuffs in your Avatar. Now that would be the suit to top. Can you post a larger picture of that?

No problem.

If I had a dinner jacket made... it would have cuffed sleeves like his for sure. Not something you see much anymore, unfortunately.
