Nice attire, guys :)

Wore this new zoot to church.. Found out that buttoning the jacket the other way reduces the collar gap.

Might need a few alterations too.

Splendid suit (especially for $26). I like the colour of the buttons. Can't go wrong with the Luxire shirt. Nice, simple choice of tie. (Not sure about the shoes though!)

The bowling shoes were because this was taken at a dance party. They don't belong with a three-piece suit to be sure, but they're great on the dancefloor.

Very good suit you got there. Even with waistcoat! Not bad at all!

@hamilcarbarca

Great suit (though not a zoot).
Note that with this buttoning it is on the ladies side.
If you want to adjust the ¨chest opening¨ iron the lapels accordingly (with a damp cloth to prevent shine).

That's a swell photo you've got there, avedwards! That's an absolutely timeless suit you're sporting there. I dig it.

Here's what I wore today. The only vintage clothing in this shot is the tie, and I'm pretty sure it's a newer vintage. I'm also sporting newer vintage Florsheim loafers, but you can't see 'em.

The waistcoat is really the only thing worth mentioning. It's a Ralph Lauren, but not RRL. picked it up for a song last time I was in El Paso. The shirt is an old Austin Clothing Company piece. Don't bother looking for them, 'cause they just make school uniforms now. The pants are inexpensive Dockers khakis.

For the past couple of months, my design professor has been telling me that I need to bring back the classic architect bow tie and round glasses look.

Dinerman, apart from being an all around snappy dresser, you're one of my favourite posters in this thread because you always infuse a sense of fun and whimsy into your wardrobe. I get the impression you're probably a blast to hang around with! Bravo, sir!

Perhaps not the best picture of my outfit, but the photo-op was vintagey anyway, so I thought I'd post. Taken at Crescent Park Carousel, one of the finest carousels in the country located in Riverside, RI, hand-carved by Charles Loof (same gent who built the one at the Santa Monica pier.) Crescent Park is by far his best, however!!
