Faust, that blazer fits you really well and plays great to your proportions. [Y]

Are the sleeves a bit long, though?

Thanks. Sleeves are ALWAYS a bit long [86]. I don't really mind in this case, but I may shorten them.

Faust thumbs up from me. I think the blazer works a treat.

Not recent purchases but prospective......will be hitting DSM tomorrow. Think it may be a tough day for the bank balance. Junya looks good.......

Thanks. Oh, oh - DSM. I hear your wallet squeal. Will you give us a roundup of the store? Is Helena coming with you or are you on a business trip?

As long as it does not interfere with your mortgage payments, it's all good.

faust, that blazer works well on your proportions, long sleeves are fine too.

Re: Recent Purchases

I agree with Matt. The sleeves look fine. i don't know why you shy away from blazers Faust. This one looks great on you.

Thank you. Wore it yesterday and got a ton of compliments :-). The reasons I shy away from blazers are more psychological - having worked on wall st., i've come to detest its culture and everything that reminds me of it to an extreme degree, and that includes blazers. Secondly, I really detest the blazer/jeans look (or dress shirt over jeans look) that is so ubiquitous with the frat boys and other males who think queer eye for the straight guy is a model of style.

Re: Recent Purchases



I totally know what you mean Faust. I think the key to doing it succesfully is to wear a jacket (blazer) that isn't just part of a suit, or at least a formal "classic" suit. That'swhat the frat boys do - it happens in UK too.

Re: Recent Purchases



That's exactly what I was thinking about the blazer, Johnny - this one definitely does not look like a part of a suit.

Your purchases sound lovely. How does Junya run this season? The wrinkling effect makes me think it's all really tiny.
