Off to the Opera...

Well, not quite the opera... But not sure what else to call it? "Off to see some performing arts," "off to a show," "off to a night of classical music." None of them really roll off the tongue.

In any case, all you need to know is that is was Andre Rieu. It was good, the venue was bad, the audience was so woefully dressed I was disgusted (with them - not the performance!) Never fear, however, even Tarzan in his loincloth wouldn't have been able to say the same about me. Just got my suit back from the tailor and took delivery of some nice silk knit ties. Tried out both items to night. I think the tailor did a smashing job on the jacket.


Suit: Hugo Boss (yea, yea... Sue me... Got it 75% off)
Shirt: Brooksfield
Tie: Lands End (www.landsend.com)
Pocket Square: Lands End
Belt: Oroton
Cufflinks: Oroton
Shoes: Florshiem (Again... Sue me. I can't be picky over size 15).

I am aware that (a) the tie knot is woeful - that was fixed, (b) the bottom button is eroneously fastened. Also corrected that. (c) Some may argue the pants are too long due to the 'puddling' - I like them that way and (d) I forgot my pocket square at first - see it in the 4th image. Geez... And it's just a matter of taking a couple pictures! I'm hopeless...
