Thanks, Capt'n Jack.

I imagine Japanese Trads are extremely devoted and join together with like-minded people to pursue rigorous authenticity in their clothing. I can just picture little circles of Japanese Trads poring over archives and distilling every last salient detail of a particular look. Japanese are obsessively detail-oriented. I imagine they would get very impatient over the desultory blather about lifestyle and such that goes on over at Trads In Cyberspace.

Twin Six, I enjoyed the article.

Is the suit really that structured? In your last pic the fit looks excellent and the construction does not appear stiff in any way.
I like my suits close fitting but still with enough space around the waist to put things in the inside pockets and to be able to sit down in comfort without unbuttoning. What's your fit preference in this regard?

TS,

I like the personal, touch of the article , ending with the wine.

Thank you. One of my aims was to be the one guy in a grey suit who stands out from the thousands of other guys in grey suits. I'm very pleased to have succeeded. This suit gets lots of compliments, and best of all, it seems to magnetically attract pretty women.

I wish more Japanese guys paid greater attention to the fit and coordination of their suits. Of course, I suppose the percentage of guys who can dress really well is the same in Japan as most places, but you certainly see some suiting horrors. It's all the more to the credit of the guy from the Tokyo office who was wearing such a great suit.

Just read the latest article, and it was very enjoyable and informative.
This is exactly what doesn't get done on the other fora.
And we are better for it.

Thanks,

TV
