Pretty sure as long as my gut fits behind two columns of buttons, I’m keeping mine. When I upgrade, I’ll dish out the money for some striping and keep it even longer.

I will get the new tie, though. I’m going extra long so that the “pop of color” hangs out below the blazer.

Me thinks introduction of the single breasted is the beginning of the end of the hat.

Not sure the two are related, but the hat is a relic of a byegone era. It doesn’t look “more professional”, contrary to what the management weenies tell us. I put my hat down on my pension years ago, and when I turned around to get them, they were both gone!

I'm going for the scarf as a cravat, with the double-breasted jacket:

You have to imagine the jacket as black. I'm not sure about the hankerchief yet though. Maybe I'll use a white one, unless I'm on a Greenslip, then I'll use a green one.

I’m campaigning for a white hat. Pan Am callback. Combine with ascot and double breasted jacket for the full rich yacht owner look.

I have never dry cleaned my pants, Crew Outfitters or Abbot…just need to adjust overtime for shrinkage. Not willing to try this myself but a buddy actually machine washes the horse blanket.

Perfect. That is exactly the look I'm going for. I like the GS handkerchief idea. I'll swap it out for pink in October.

Plus with a single breasted coat and white hat I could finally look like fire marshal Bill.

and thinking of In Living Color maybe the new more commuter friendly hat will just be smaller like something from Men on Film.

Two snaps and a twist for that idea....😁

Forum needs a like button. ACE will publish the handkerchief codes in the app. Can’t wait to see what inverse assignment with conflict is.
