End of conversations.
Great hat - lightweight, breathable, and easily adjusted. Really like the reflective cover under the brim for nights.
For a $600+ shoe this is...decent. Shape is great, and I found the full strap wasn't as distracting as in other loafers. I think the LHS Cordovan are "better" because their fit is more amenable to thicker socks, and they're less likely to crease at the top. Secondhand, these are a good buy sub-$100 and a steal under $50 which I've seen happen.
Brooks Brothers supima cotton shirt w/ button down collar. (found at an estate sale, verified it's modern era BB in stores). Intentionally oversized (TTS 15.5/35). I really wish this weren't stretch because the collar is great and the shirt hangs well on the body. It's stretch and non-iron; if that isn't an issue then definitely buy it.
Vintage Brooks Brothers miUSA tweed 3/2 sportcoat (estimated 46S: 24" pit to pit, 24" sleeve, 32" length). Intentionally oversized fit (tts 40L) to get both natural drape and the roping (bump) on the shoulders. Beautiful jacket and a perfect representation of ivy style. BB has remade it as the "#1 Sack Sport Coat", with the fabric changing every season.
Super old tie from The Tie Bar, because I/every person that wears suits needs a basic black necktie. Mine is 3.25" wide, 58" long, the equivalent of the "traditional" tie. If you have a long torso get the traditional XL.
Incredible jeans. The barrel shape is interesting without being hard to wear, the denim is sturdy but not overly hefty, and the belt is great once you get used to it. Had to adjust to sizing - the XL fit perfectly despite being a M in most other brands.
Cleaned out my closet and realized I had an extra sportcoat tucked away. Initially was going to sell it, then alter it, but I dig the silhouette with the twisted jeans.
