I PICKED UP A NEW PAIR OF WHITE BUCKS FROM THE BASS SIGNATURE LINE. I LIKE THEM. THEY ARE COMFORTABLE, A GOOD SHAPE AND NOT A BIG INVESTMENT. THE LACES THEY CAME WITH LACKED A LOT TO BE DESIRED THOUGH. THEY LOOKED MORE LIKE LACES FOR YOUR TRAINERS RATHER THAN A DRESS SHOE AND THEY DID NOT STAY TIED. I NATURALLY TURNED TO MY FAVORITE LACE-THE CORDO HYDE. IT TOOK A BIT OF LOOKING BUT I FOUND A WHITE PAIR. (HINT: THINK GOLF SHOE)
NEXT CAME THE THE WANT OF A CLASSIC BLUE BLAZER. (THANKS FREE AND EASY VOL 6) I KNEW FROM PAST EXPERIENCE THAT THE BROOKS BROTHERS BOYS SIZE 20 FITS ME A LA BLACK FLEECE. SO, A RECENT STOP AT THE BROOKS BROTHERS OUTLET TURNED THIS UP. THOUGH I REALLY DID LIKE THE ORIGINAL BUTTONS THEY PROVED TO HAVE A BIT TOO MUCH BLING AND I CHANGED THEM FOR A FLAT SOLID BRASS VERSION.
FINALLY, I DITCHED THE HEAVY OYSTER BRACELET ON THE ROLEX SUB FOR THIS REGIMENT RIBBON WATCH STRAP FROM SMART TURNOUT.
Well done. The NATO looks sharp.
ReplyDeleteI just went down to a 38s. Maybe I should check out boys section.
ReplyDeleteHey! Where do you have your name labels made? Been looking for a while...
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned you've also purchased a Brooks Bros boys size 20 suit. What did you do about the pants?
ReplyDeleteGOT THE PANTS TAILORED AS WELL...
ReplyDeleteTHE LABELS WERE A GIFT FROM A FAMILY FRIENDS COMPANY.
Nice. I too am planning a stop over at BB to find a proper blue blazer. Hows the fabric on your?
ReplyDeleteTHEY HAVE A FINER LORO PIANA VERSION.
ReplyDeleteI love that you cared enough to replace the buttons. Good choice. My husband has mentioned the idea of getting monogrammed blazer buttons. What do you think of that?
