Hello. This is my first post on this thread. It's not very adventurous but this is the kind of thing I wear to work. None of it is vintage because of where I work (they have a print shop with lots of inks and other things to ruin lovely clothes) but I try my best.

And this shows the cute detail on the jumper.

Most elegant. Congratulations.
Nice-looking tux, Edward.
Very, very classy, Edward! Truly marvellous!

Thank-you, Gentlemen!

This is my humble addition, displaying my new thrift-store chocolate-brown waistcoat, which I purchased today for TWO DOLLARS. It's a five-button coat, but one button went AWOL. I managed to replace it with one of same size and design and similar-enough colour to restore it proper function again.

Curious thing about this coat is that it's a SIX pocket waistcoat. Two watch-pockets, two top pockets and two inside pockets as well!

Excellent find! I love inside pockets on a waistcoat as a detail - ideal place to put that card / cloakroom ticket / lady's phone number that you want to keep safe and to which you don't need constant access all night. Not so often seen nowadays, either.

thank you Kitty,

Kools, Edward, you guys have impressive wardrobes!

Thank-you!

I must say I got a kick out of where you decided to take this shot. :D

lol As I've yet to figure out how to use the timer and a get a decent self-takey, I mostly end up taking them in the mirror in my room, in the bathroom at work, or - as here - in the office lift. I like the lift as it's one place I can be sure of taking a quick snap without anyone seeing and thinking me odd. ;)

Thanks, Edward. Were inside pockets ever a common feature on waistcoats? This is the first one I've seen with such pockets.

Going out for dinner with dad and his friend tonight, who's visiting from overseas. So this will be the first time I wear my new chocolate waistcoat for an actual event, small as it might be.

Changed the shortsleeved brown shirt for a longsleeved shirt on account of the dropping temperature. Ideally I would have liked it to be a little yellowy-brown coffee-stain tint, but white or offwhite will do. This is one of my older, worn-in shirts that I've had for a few years now. I deliberately picked it to give a kind of working-class look...Somehow I think I missed the mark the size of a barn door...
