evolving style

Experimenting with lighting.

I didn't frame well, or my pocket square would be more in the shot.

About 6'1".

My style, at its highest, is most like Doug Guggenheim. I like suspenders. He's often in a spread collar. He doesn't shy away from a great double breasted suit.

Clyde Overholt is too prone to a douche-y shirt.

'suckering

It's summer and I'd like to get a new pair of swim trunks.

NO BOARDS SHORTS.

My new favourite website.

My style has stabilized. I never properly examined its evolution. The more embarrassing moments are lost to my memory. I should've recorded them. 

Alas, here I sit, in a Lands End Canvas sweatshirt and shorts, having settled on the compromise of quality for the cheapness of their wares. Do I have anything more to share? 

Fitting

Ah, the benefits of losing weight. I had to stow this Cantarelli jacket when I gained too much weight to wear it without excessive strain at the button point.

Cleaning

Chief Wiggum was wrong, you can get chocolate out. 

I was baking and neglected to put on an apron. The top photo shows the result of this negligence. As one of my workhorse shirts, I really didn't want to sacrifice it to the baking gods, even if the resultant cake was very good.

I refused to resign myself and the shirt to this chocolatey fate and deployed my favourite laundry weapon: OxiClean. I'm not one to wantonly tout a brand, but this stuff really works.

First, I made a concentrated slurry out of the powder that I put directly on the stain. I let that sit for about two hours. Then I soaked the shirt overnight in the concentration recommended for 'tough laundry stains.' Finally, I did a cold water wash. There is no trace of the chocolate.
