Thank you for your remarks above. M...Hello Guy, <br /><br />Thank you for your remarks above. Might you consider sharing a photo or two of your ensembles here? It's always fun and inspiring to see how others do it. Your colored jacket linings sound great, and I too prefer not to match the pocket square to my tie most of the time. Anyway, thank you again for commenting, and please continue to drop by as and when you like.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />Heinz-Ulrich von B.WSTKS-FM Worldwidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173042438761572040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259686799198265906.post-37280545395216757842013-08-30T09:00:21.826-07:002013-08-30T09:00:21.826-07:00Well as a solicitor I'm obliged to wear a suit...Well as a solicitor I'm obliged to wear a suit every day, I do try to push the boundaries a bit. So over the last 20 plus years have built up a collection of about 15 winter work suits and 8 summer suits. These are pretty classic with about half double breasted and the others single. There are some pretty standard fixtures:-<br /><br />1. 4 cuff buttons which should open.<br />2. A ticket pocket on the right side.<br />3. Double vents at the back.<br />4. On the single suits, 3 buttons at the front. <br />5. Turn ups on the trousers.<br />6. Pretty narrow trouser bottoms.<br />7. No belt loops - only buttons for braces.<br />8. Depending on my mood over the years, the suit linings go from dull grey and darkish red to light pink and blue!<br /><br />I have had 90% of my suits made for me by a tailor. The first was done at my father's tailor in 1986. I still wear this suit although it has been let out etc. Regretfully I am not quite as thin as I was 27 years ago but thankfully I have not gone grossly over weight. I have a range of pin strips, through plain greys/blues to prince of wales checks.<br /><br />I then match these fairly conservative suits with colourful shirts and always wear a silk pocket handherchief (never matching the tie). Recently I have been buying knitted silk ties. Socks regretfully during the week are fairly boring and coloured socks are reserved for the weekend.<br /><br />regards,<br />GuyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
