Mario my dear- you're killing me here! A great picture, the hat is fabulous and perfect on you. LOVE the ribbon color...

What a great picture. Jamie, you and your lady both look terrific and elegant as always.

My lovely wife and I had the pleasure of attending a formal Highland Ball on Saturday and here is a photo we took before the grand march.

Cheers Jamie

It's rare for me to have a photo to publish here, living as I do alone with two cats who show no signs of developing photographical skills. This photo was taken just outside Edinburgh's registry office on Saturday just past, a fe minutes before we went in to a friend's wedding. The suit is original 1950s (an eBay find for GBP25, last Summer), as are the cufflinks and tie. Pocket square is a modern, plain silk item. The hat is a 1970 item (Herbert Johnson for Brooks Brothers), though in a fifties style (I do have a genuine fifties Homberg in a light grey colour, but I couldn't find it to hand when I was packing - flat currently in chaos as I remodel the place). I dispensed with the fifties, tweedy overcoat for the day as the ceremony was only five minuts from the hotel in which the reception took place (and where I stayed for the weekend). Shoes are by Barker.

this thread always makes me think a zz top song : every girl crazy for a sharp dressed man

If only..... (ell, either that ai't true, or I'm not sharp... lol ).

I thought this picture was very Mad Men'esque! From Friday evening at the Pigalle Club.

Jings, I've not been in there in an age.... I should change that.

Dinner suit / stroller
I just happened to find a late 50's silk lined coat with peaked collars and I finished what I had started.. the stroller project! Oh well.. I think I need a bowler

Bowler? Nah, I'd run with a nice Homberg.... a tiny touch more formal (if you're being picky), and just, imho, a much nicer hat. But then I never did like bowlers, so your mileage may vary. A top hat would never be my choice with a stroller; to my eye, a topper requires the length of a tailcoat or morningcoat, frockcoat, etc for the proportions to look right. That's purely a personal aesthetic opinion, however - durig the Edwadian era they certainly would have been worn with that outfit.

Bowlers on the other hand do

Definitely could be a member of Crime...

I was looking at the artwork, too. They look like very colorful vintage paint-by-numbers.

Right you are! That photo was taken in my parent's new '50s den.

Hey Mario, I thought it was a trick of the eyes, but I noticed more colour on your face lately.. Just wait a few moments after reading the nice things Laura writes about you before taking another pic of yourself oh well, you don't have to be ashamed about it hey

Well, many thanks for your kind words.
