Another Rainy Day - And A Near Death Experience!



Have you ever had a near death experience? Well,today I added another to my list. I was a split second from pulling out in front of a tractor and trailer on a foggy rainy night. I guess if it had been my time, at least I was dressed well!

Brooks Brothers Tweed Sack Suit with 3/2 Roll
Brooks OCBD
Polo Wool Tie
Johnston & Murphy Bluchers (Purchased before they fell off the deep end.)

This is actually very nice all around. The plain toe bluchers are the only thing I might have a slight objection to.
If you were to be taken from us by a horrific crash, it is a shame that Worthington would not take over the helm.

Very nice suit. Be careful out there . . .

Great suit. I have not seen any tweed suits in our local broooks. How long ago did you get it?

Richard,

Do you use a shaving brush, pre shave oil, good shaving cream, a sharp razor, and post shave balm? In all you photos you appear to have a bad case of razor burn. Perhaps a few less BB products and some better grooming supplies instead are in order.

I wouldn't call that "tweed" (herringbone) but very nice. Perhaps you can enlighten us on the deifinition/origins on the term. Them be some skinny cuffs!

Speaking of Worthington, still hoping to see picture of the two of you together, wearing some nice tradly WASPy outfits. Maybe take a picture at the country club?

I'm personally not fond of BD shirts with suits - but it's a nice look otherwise. Drive safe!

The suit is tweed, a very fine herringbone style but tweed. And, I ordered the suit from the MTM program at Brooks rather than buying it off the peg. The suit is about 5 years old, and I doubt they sell this suit off the rack.

I use all the products you listed to shave, and unfortunately I can only shave every other day. I do have sensitive skin, but the camera emphasizes it. My face is as smooth and fresh as a baby's butt this moment.

I wanted to wear my tobacco suede lace ups, but it was pouring rain. The bluchers are good rain shoes.

Don't quite know how I stumbled on this site but absolutely hilarious and mostly in good taste, albeit with a distinctive Virginian, I would guess, twist.
