Thank you all for the replies! I love the suit, a lot!
Tom & Gi, you both look sharp, as always!
I seem to have acquired quite a serious fever... and the only cure is more hats!
Best Wishes,

A beautiful suit, Splintercells! The second photo has a very noirish look to it. Kinda mysterious and creepy.
...Where did you get that hat, where did you get that tile? Isn't it a nobby one and just the proper style! I should like to have one just the same as that. Whereever I go they'd shout "hello, where did you get that hat?..."

Thanks, Shangas! It does, doesn't it? And that just came from using my Gal's horrible phone camera, and the single light post we could find! I need to take more like that, eh?

I was wearing an old quarter zip hunting shirt, my black herringbone "Big Apple" cap, Freddies of Pinewood 1940s cut selvedge jeans, and my faithful 'no name' black horsehide engineer boots – co-incidentally, apart from the make of jeans, the same outfit as in this pic of me playing with our instrumental / nudie flicks band The Stripchords a few years back...

Sharp as always, Mario! I really like the color of the Sportcoat? (Apologies if the term is wron, I am still learning!)

VERY sharp! I really dig the look! It fits you perfectly. To me, it seems very 50's? (I am not good with era dating, so my apologies if I am way off).
