^ I think Mr Holidays outfit looks spot on. Nice and Autumnal indeed, a nice mix of colours. I also like rgrossicones outfit too. He talks about having the jacket lengthened an extra inch. Although it looks fine to me. Never go for long jackets really.

Brownshoe, For what it's worth I think you are every bit the equal of Daniele. In my estimation he has never looked bad on here but he has also posted far less pictures than you or any of the more prolific posters. Some of your stuff is as good as this clothing gets as far as I'm concerned. I have no comment about "glamour" and it's place in Ivy style. I think a lot of the Miles, Mcqueen, Chet, etc. worship is the function of image and the onlookers imagination. Eye of the beholder and all that. That being said I do think quality can be seen and recognized in this style. I agree with Prof. K. above about the picture Moose included. It looks like a  guy who needs a shave and haircut in a ill-fitting thrift store suit. I am not trying to personally denigrate the poster (well maybe his hair choices, and that's a personal prejudice) but one only needs to look to multiple posters on here to see vintage choices, thrifted or not, utilized well. My entire selection of sport coats is "vintage", so I have nothing against employing it as an option. I think the problem I see with a lot of people who found this style on online is they look for the extra button hole, and the lack of the darts and think their work is done. There is no economy of choice. How does this not amount the playing dress up that a lot of us have decried in the past going on elsewhere on the net.

To be fair to Redmanca( who does deserves respect for posting his pictures on the original thread), I have seen pictures of his outfits on other sites that were good.

Thanks for the comments guys (and Moose for the compliment of putting my picture here).

It all helps I guess.

Thanks Prof for the back up here. Sometimes I do like to jump out of the cosy trench wander out into no man's land a little, and just wait to be shot at.
Maybe a few more people should get out of their trench and liven up discussion here. It's nice to have a mutual admiration society but sometimes we need to shake things up here a bit. The "You look great", "No, you look great" chat gets a bit dull day in and day out.
Brownshoe - You are a glamorous, larger than life character. You live in New York and you wear great clothes. Not mad on the shots of you smoking a cigar in shorts and a rain mac though...

Anybody is welcome to deconstruct things over here. If it's done with skill then we all gain. 'Looks like Shite' needs to be expanded on to stand up, I think.

I think Redmanca is great for the 'Trad' take on the style. Others are great for the 'Mod' take. It's not to be expected that 'Mods' & 'Trads' will agree, but if you have a thing for style then you can maybe appreciate other people doing what they do.

- Even I can spot when 'Goth' is done well!

Just playing the old 'balancing act'...

Reddy is new & comes from a different place to the Prof. - But both are welcome here.

Everybody has a contribution.

Well, it goes without saying that everyone hates you Alex... Wink!
