Unbelievably Elegant!!! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

I intend to wear this for my daily strolls about town, Fashions Shows, and of course the Del Mar Horse Races.

Here are some shots from inside my room with my Dinner Suit and silk/cashmere scarf.

Thank you. Luckily the wrinkling of fabric on my left sleeve is how I am positioned. I am not a fan of the notch lapel on my Dinner Suit but it is the only one I have. I am bidding on a three piece Dinner Suit with Peak lapels and a shawl lapel waistcoat from the early 30's. Hopefully that will improve the look of the top hat. I did however have a self tied black bow tie.

I remember her from one of your recent group party shots. She's a doll.

A wonderful find, my good man! Well done!

Very nice, Metro. A classic look!

Keen! Lookin' sharp there pal! You wear toppers very well. Even makes the incorrect wearing of a topper with a tux look proper.

Thank you. The top hat was the standard hat for a tux until the mid 30's. Even this man did it.
