A Trad "What are you Wearing"

[never behind]

At home with no place to go but Christmas came early as a Shaggy Dog Shetland I got off eBay arrived today. My first one. Quite a bit different than the O’Connell’s/Bahle’s Shetlands I own. It does make me appreciate the numerical sizing of O’Connell’s. This one has some really long arms; thanks goodness for the turn back cuffs.

Spot on classic outfit very well done.

I believe I've offered to take that insanely perfect sport coat (if it happens to be a 40L) off your hands before, if you are tired of it.

Love those JP trousers! I was very temped the other day but settled on a new fine striped broadcloth shirt & tie instead.

Just yesterday, I had a very similar jacket delivered. Glad to see how good it can look!!

Only if you'd like, it would be great to hear some details - brand, etc. - and see pictures of it.

But either way, enjoy it and wear it in good health.

I love it, beautiful sport coat and a great price. If you send it to me, I'll examine it more closely and then (fingers crossed off screen) send it back. Kidding aside, that's an outstanding classic - enjoy. Very jealous of the center hook vent. Thank you for posting the pics.

Kinda shows you what was available all across the country once upon a time..

Thanks FF, fred, and Katch.

Nice E, I like the way you work with jackets and cords; something I have never been comfortable doing. Maybe I will give it a try soon.

Not the most original outfit but because it's so close to what Ensiferous has been posting lately I couldn't help myself...

The wife, a Wolverine in hiding, really likes your maize and blue tie and I, a long ago Nittany Lion, will grudgingly admit that the tie works well with the navy blazer and those cords. Nicely done, sir!

Thanks FF, fred, and Katch.

This fair isle is outstanding.
