Decided to put the WW2 jacket I'd had for a while to work. Arms are a tad short but there's nothing that can be done about that.

You are the personification of one of those old Esquire illustrations that we reference all the time.

Grant Fan, summer is ending and more's the pity, as you look simply stunning in your dress. Your betrothed is a lucky fellow.

An inspiration to the Victorian Faction as always, VM! Is that a vintage frock coat?

Me & my girl.

Fred Astaire made a point of wearing mostly button down collar shirts with his suits.

I had noticed that as well on some of Fred Astaire's outfits - only there was a difference in the way button down collars laid in those shirts - many modern button down collars seem to have an untidy outward bulge when you wear them with a regular necktie - a bow tie covers up the space, so I generally only wear a button down either with a bow tie or without a tie of any kind.

Part of the problem may be the tendency for modern shirts to "apologize for their collars" in the words of Alan Flusser; they have disproportionately small collars, which causes them to bulge with any but the smallest knots. Combine that with the trend for many modern necties to have grotesquely fat width and padding around the trailing end, to achieve the fist sized knots popular among footballers and their ilk, and you have the perfect storm of inelegance, as it were.

A couple nights ago, rather more than a few sheets to the wind, post garden party -

1930s (maybe, could be 20s, I guess, with that button stance) boating blazer, 1950s casual shirt, 1930s perforated spectator shoes, bespoke linen trousers (from 1930s pattern).
