No wonder ADG loves the outfit!<br /><br />Good stuff all. Only someone who knows the rules inside and out can break them as masterfully as you.<br /><br />And everyone take note: G is telling us how alterations can take something sub-par and turn it into sartorial gold.

So many bad, polyester ensembles were made; however, you're right, some classic pieces surfaced as well. I like your bow tie -- it's not something I can pull off. I usually stick with the skinny tie, but the look works for you.Forresthttp://skinnyties.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-80713728031754803842010-10-20T07:00:48.089-07:002010-10-20T07:00:48.089-07:00Non è una parrucca.

I recall my father's wardrobe from the 70s and even his leather jackets were nicely cut; trousers and shirts were the norm, even ties.It was probably also a decade when so-called style rules started to be more commonly broken.<br /><br />You're bringing back some class with that suit man.Those with closed-minds can think what they like.Roger v.d.
