Speaking of summerweight D/B suits . . . . . . . my D/B Polo, bought for a formal wedding some six years ago. Possibly not retro enough for this forum, but an attractive suit (IMHO) and very lightweight. -

Cufflinks
To illustrate my previous post . . .. . . . a re-posting of a photograph of my double-faced hinged cufflinks. (My apologize for repeating myself . . .)- upr_crust

Cufflinks
Double-faced vs. Bascule/"Torpedo" For looks, double-faced cufflinks are more attractive, but can be a bigger pain in the neck to put on or take off. (This is particularly true for modern double-faced cufflinks made in the UK, and American-made double-cuffed shirts - American button holes are...- upr_crust

Too Kind? Hardly - accurate, certainly in terms of . . . . . . chronology (you are many years my junior), and as for our respective levels of handsomeness, I leave that to the disinterested bystanders;) . I will be curious to see your bluegrass green Stylemaster - I have a dark green fedora... -

Trust me - there have been times when . . . . . . the suit's been tight too, but happily, not right now :) How the Borsalino has shrunk still boggles my little mind - and it's a 7 1/2! My skull must be getting thicker . . . -

Not as young and handsome as Benny, but . . . . . . similarly suited and hatted. These are photos from several years ago, though I still have the suit and the Borsalino. (The suit, a Polo, fits fine, still, but the Borsalino is a little tight these days . . .) -

Thank you DBFedora . . . I am fond of that D/B suit (and of double-breasted suits in general - they suit my physique, and I seem to be able to carry them off without looking absurd). I had the suit made up for me at St. Laurie in the early 90's, and was disappointed that the pattern for it was... -

I believe that your take on the pronunciation of "Kos" is correct . . . . . . and, as for sales, Jay Kos was discontinuing New & Lingwood shoes in favour of Edward Green. On another subject, here's my D/B suit as written about previously -

My attire for today, a somewhat retro ensemble . . . Forgive my repetition of a posting that I made to askandyaboutclothes.com, but today's ensemble would seem to be in line with the sensibilities of the readers of these fora, hence my posting. Navy rope stripe six-button, two-to-button D/B... -

It is possible? Can there be more? . . . for better or worse, yes. I think that does it, until I buy more, perhaps ;)- upr_crust

Thanks for the public compliment . . . . . . and, believe it or not, there are more photos to be posted, which I will post when next I have the chance. The collection is the byproduct of living in a small space, and having an acquisitive nature - one collects that which one can fit into one's...- upr_crust

More incredible suits of Carlos Gardel
Having been to BA this past June . . . . . . I can tell you that Gardel is still considered something of a god in his genre of tango. Seeing pictures of Gardel remind me of Buenos Aires, a town which still has an air of Latin sensuality, combined with a stern sense of "propriety" in terms... -

Well, if the first three-piece suit was retro enough . . . . . . how about this one? Brooks Bros. MTM, done about four years ago. Hope that you like (and thanks for the compliments on the previous posting, all!). -

Not only was it RTW, it was . . . . . . nearly 50% off on sale (though still hardly cheap - it's Golden Fleece). -

Possibly not quite retro enough for this forum, but . . . Here are a few shots of my newest suits, purchased, in large part, for its neo-retro appeal (the lapelled waistcoat, combined with the large discount at Brooks Bros., did it for me). -

Sightings of me in Midtown East should be rare . . . . . . it's only when I am littering Madison Avenue with bits of my accrued personal net worth that I am there.;) .

The hat came from . . . . . . my local hat store - The Hat Corner, at Nassau & Beekman Sts. in lower Manhattan - Scala is the brand name, and I bought it for the fact that the brim is a bit narrower and the crown lower than my Borsalino - experimentation in looks. The store has a web site... -
