Hey look, I am a Brooks Brothers model from the 1979 catalog :)

The ability to take a fine outfit and bung it up with odd accessories (suede bit loafers and a bright yellow watchband here) is rare.

I really love that kind of waiscoats!!!!
It reminds me the british fox hound style.
Pure class in a glass!!
Maybe the best outfit I've seen you in a long time.
Kind Regards

Suede bit loafers and sleeves rolled to the forearm? Aren't you supposed to be the one who is teaching the world how to dress like a WASP? Deduct two more points.

Rupert the Bear? Cool.

Well, your waistcoat is missing a button and a pocket, but has lapels not seen on the watercolor model.
Interestingly, if you plug the 1979prices into an inflation calculator, they are pretty consistent with modern prices.

After reading all that nonsense on other blogs about how pleated trousers aren't Trad, I was pleased to see that you know that gentlemen's trousers (particularly in flannel) look far better with pleats! Well done!
