Or possibly a fashion statement.<br /><br />That's Giuseppe!<br /><br />I love the outfit, and find the dark socks a pleasant surprise. The shirt and tie are perfect.

If so-- it looks very smart (enough so that I noticed and thought "who is wearing such a dapper suit?!"). If it wasn't you, then there's someone else out there sporting a fine poplin suit and hat-- and I am happy to see good clothing catching on around here.Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05431975348439960908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-15602342768962791522011-06-07T08:42:34.146-07:002011-06-07T08:42:34.146-07:00Other than the socks (no socks, maybe? or a pair ...Other than the socks (no socks, maybe? or a pair that match the suit?)- bravo.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02411044566338916530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-28083332683830472492011-06-07T06:54:28.951-07:002011-06-07T06:54:28.951-07:00I miss the tan and navy poplin suits I had in the ...I miss the tan and navy poplin suits I had in the 80's. I don't know where I got them but not BB. The Brothers were a good deal above my pay grade. But even back then you could still by decent men's wear from Sears.

If you have the time, could you say a word or two about the the hat you are wearing and any thoughts you may have on summer hats in general would be welcome... Of course, that may be the grounds for a future post.
