that Stringy Bob guitar clam does my head in but great stuff ... had me thinking Subterranean Homesick Blues and then bang comes a twist on "this machine kills fascists."
Most of my vintage cardigans fit rather snug, which is how I actually prefer them, as there are times I like to wear them under a jacket.
I prefer sleeveless cardigans or regular pullover vests to wear under a sportcoat because they get too hot and bunchy but I tend to wear cardigans in place of jackets or when removing my jacket at home so I hate tight sleeves and armholes. Still looking for the perfect lambswool cardigan because all of my vintage ones seem flawed; too short, cheap acrylic blend (gotten rid of most of these) or too tight like this new one. I had a good colour photo of Cary Grant in a navy cardigan that I'll try to find again which idealized the way they should fit, imo.

Thanks WM. Here are the considerations that I make when Choosing a tie in order of importance.
1. Where am I going? Work, meeting, event, etc
2. What am I wearing? Does the tie work with my jacket/trousers.
3. The season/weather
4. My mood

Awesome combo Tom - would love to see a pic of those chinos in action
I may well sport them over the weekend if it keeps dry - if so I may get a worn shot for you.
You can find it - it's all out there for sure. We all know that the trouser issue is the biggest, if we were all stateside we could bleed O'Connell's dry, alas this is not the case - so the few little gems like these LVC bedfords (and other occasional items) really do take some beating.

^^^Could your love handles be explained by the two belts you're wearing?
