Alas, 20 pounds lost would be but a start, but jeez Louise, I'm working on it! However I still find myself put off by that monochrome grey rig. Reminds me of a character named the "Grey Man" from one of Stephen King's old novels...I believe the title was "Dream Catcher.' Those darned "shit weasels" were enough to give any guy a case of the bad dreams! LOL. :crazy:

At 70 years of age, Samuel L. Jackson still has abs like a washboard. At 40 years of age, the husband of the woman in my avatar also still has abs like a washboard.
At 70+ years of age, this OP has abs like a washtub.
Paraphrasing that iconic line from the movie Blazing Saddles, "Abs...abs? We don't need no stinking Abs!" ;)

Our two grandsons, as high school grapplers, can legitimately claim washboard abs and there were times in my life when I sported an absolutely flat abdomen, but never the fabled "six-pack!" Even when I could claim status as a wannabe three sport high school athlete, I could never unveil the six-pack...I guess my BMI was just too high:(. However, over the past 50+ years I have discovered a properly fitted wardrobe can hide many ills! LOL. ;)

Good eye! The suit coat designs are very similar, as you suggest, but the vest designs are quite different. The collared vest with the third suit is more appealing to my eye.

My friend, your Opa's suit looks good on you...you wear it very well! Any chance on getting a better picture of the Panama, as in the present shot two thirds of the hat didn't seem to make the cut. Have a great day! ;)

Nice fabric pattern and indeed, a very nice suit, but the jacket sleeves are too short and that is a very revealing left hand jammed into the wearers pocket. The fingers appear straightened out and approaching areas in which they should not be! Our Mamas taught us better than that. LOL! ;)

Yes. With some cool lining to show for it. Iron Man and Rust goes well together, in my opinion. BTW, bespoke in China is cheaper than many good RTW around the world, so it is not like I am breaking the bank.

My friend, you are clearly enjoying your clothes, just as we all should be doing. You look great! ;)
