It maybe a public holiday here in Australia but that’s no reason to let dress standards slip.
So yes, I am well suited up today. Although I like to dress it down with a collared t-shirt and sneakers.
This is the suit that had the fly blow out. It has now been repaired now but too much Christmas chub means I can’t quite fasten the waist button if I also want to breath.
Never fear, I say. Don’t let a little Christmas pud hold you back!
By the way for all you tie aficionados out there, today’s’s little ripper is a brown and orange checked seersucker made under the label of Grand Park. I washed it as it was quite revolting with food stains and then I had to iron it!
The suit is DEFINITELY made in Hong Kong, it says it inside. The nice lady who repaired the blown out fly told me it was a ‘Cheap suit’. But it looks worth every one of the 2000 cents I spent on it.
I don’t think the fluoro work lights give a good indication of the weave of this nicely tailored suit…
You do combine your colours very well, you creative type!
Just following your example
Ooooooooh!!!….. That s a fine weave!!! I alos love your tie-knot skills…..Ya can’t beat a fat knot I reckon !!!
If I knew how to make a smaller knot I’d do it.
But then all my ties are fat so a skinny knot probably wouldn’t look all that great
Now I’m thinking that a year of ties might be a good idea? I mean I love the suits – but ties…. I ADORE ties…..
Great idea.
you should do it…
I am about to run dry in the tie department.
Local Vinnies only has very nasty 1990s early noughties and they are disgusting.
not true Jane! it’s just I am madly collecting at the moment for a project and I get there before you.
OH!
I was wondering why there’s been nothing nice on the tie racks!
you are to blame!
