A Trad Confused

The journey of a bipolar Sartorialist.

20 notes

Ready for a wonderful evening. Tuxedo and shirt by the wonderful and helpful J.Press, 20 yr old bow tie and cummerbund by Robert Talbott, shoes by Alden. Vintage Trafalgar braces. No watch, I never wear a watch with formal wear, it suggests to your host that you have a better place to be. I did wear my Grandfather’s crest ring that Cartier made in the 1950’s. Something old, something new.

I did that this fall. I have enough Alden’s to literally last me for the rest of my life.

Ok. Done. Just before I took my vow of no new clothes for 2016, I took full advantage of the J.Press holiday sale and stocked up. I have everything I need for a long long time.
