As comfortable and familiar as a pair of flannel pajamas with a robe over top on this cold, wet, and blustery day. But pressed.
Not seen is a pair of silk navy braces with dark red and silvery gray paisleys plus a white linen pocket square.
I usually save the more colorful wool, silk, and cotton pocket squares for blazers and sports jackets. Better to keep things a bit more reined in with suits and let the more solemn attire speak for itself.

Very nice suit, Heinz-Ulrich. Is it Polo by any chance? I have a similar two-piece and the chalk-stripe gray flannel looks identical. I am jealous; wish mine had a vest.
ReplyDeleteIndeed it is a vintage Polo three-piece, Charlottesville. You have a keen eye. Easily one of my favorite fall-winter suits given its 1930s silhouette. Very Lawrence Fellows. Amazingly, I found it in a thrift shop about ten years ago NWT, as the saying goes, in precisely my size. How could I pass it up?
