By "winner's curse", do you mean that now you know what fits, and you want more of the same?

Wear them in good health in any case.

I might be posting tomorrow, though my attire may be "deconstructed", either in presentation, or deconstructed as soon as I walk out my front door, depending on temperature and humidity.

To my eye, it just can't be done much better than that. My friend, you are looking mighty spiffy today!

 

[bernoulli]

Yes, which does not bode well for my bank account...Looking forward to seeing your summer rig. I am still in awe of the seer sucker ensemble.

Got to dress up a couple of times this week, so what the heck?

UprCrust and Bernoulli, keep the good stuff coming!

Thank you, Dannyboy.

It is said (or sung) that mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun, and, apparently, so must I, after three days of extremely casual (and blissfully unrecorded) attire. The weather in NYC today is predicted to be quite warm and quite humid, so this ensemble may be "deconstructed" over the course of the day, but, for the nonce, here it is in its assembled state.

Jacket - Paul Stuart
Shirt, trousers, bow tie and pocket square - Brooks Brothers
Cufflinks - The London Badge & Button Co.
Shoes - Alden for Brooks Brothers

The temperatures and the rains have finally abated here in NYC, and I am making sartorial hay while the sun is shining, and it's not too hot. Today's suit hasn't been worn since last summer, so I'm sneaking a wearing in today, before the weather reverts to hot and humid.

Suit - Joseph Abboud
Shirt & tie - Brooks Brothers
Cufflinks - no name brand, sourced from Hong Kong
Pocket square - Ashear
Shoes - Crockett & Jones for Paul Stuart, NYC

Thank you, FF. I've owned the tie for years, but haven't worn it much at all, so I am glad to have made use of it today.

 

[Howard]

Love the tie Crusty.

The weather in NYC continues to be sunny and pleasant. Today's sports jacket has been staring me in the face for a while, so I decided that it was a good day to wear it.

Yesterday was the hottest day ever recorded in England.

 

[upr_crust]

The end of the week, and perhaps the end of pleasantly seasonable weather here in NYC - predictions are that the heat will return by Monday, along with the humidity. In the interim, I am sporting today another item from this season's sale at Paul Stuart - today's bow tie.

Suit - Paul Stuart/Phineas Cole
Shirt - Brooks Brothers
Tie - Paul Stuart
Braces - New & Lingwood, London
Cufflinks - Deakin & Francis, London
Pocket square - Polo Ralph Lauren
Shoes - Paul Stuart house brand
Hat - Scala

Superb, as always. That suit from today, 7/26, fits amazingly well. And the point of reference for your esteemed position on AAAC is that you wear black shoe and do not get drawn and quartered.

Thank you, Cassadine. As for being drawn and quartered, I fear that, were I to suffer that particular punishment, postings to this thread would diminish to an alarming degree, hence the mercy of the powers that be . ( I also like black shoes with a grey check suit.)

 

[prospero1b]

And very nice socks! Where did you acquire those?

The brand is called Punto, and I found them at my local discounter.
