What are you wearing today??

Jannie, I truly can't remember...Do you think anyone would do such a knot knowingly??...If by any chance I manage to repeat the performance, I'll make sure I pay attention to the "technique"

Thanks! It's an eBay win from a year ago. From the 1920s (and with a '25 patent date) -- was deadstock in its original box. Came from a Maine estate.

Since you're doing such a bang up job with the shirt and trousers, is there any chance at replicating the cap?

Thanks! I'll look into it.

I looked into it. The answer is ... probably not. Unfortunately.


In any event, I wouldn't be satisfied unless the repro caps could be made with this vintage 1920s-'30s silhouette:

The cap has a good bill to 8 panel ratio I like the bill of the cap to show like this. I watch for them Marc I will have some.

Might have to check around to the custom cap makers about this style.

You've seen this suit before but the accessories are different today. The picture quality isn't the greatest, but you should get the general idea.

I'm sporting my Knox 20, which I bought from fellow lounger, Tom-in-Perris.

The cuff links are from a colleauge, whose father recently passed on. He used to wear them in the 1950s.

The shirt and tie are new, from Harry Rosen. The tie is more of a gold, with tiny light blue specs in it. I realize the pocket square shouldn't be an exact match, but I'm working on something to highlight the blue in the tie.

I decided to shave the beard and go with a pencil 'stache for awhile. I hope it's not too cheesy!

Hey, a pencil 'stache goes a long way, Adam.

Cassie and I had engagement photos taken 3 weeks ago. There's over 100 pics so here are 4 of my favorites. I'll post a few more up later.

Thanks.

That last one is at the top of our favorites as well.

Your tie knot reminds me of the edeity knot worn by the merovingian in the Matrix Reloaded - movie. At least it comes close. Watch this:
