          I originally meant to post this in the Random Questions sub but I think this relates to Random Announcements too? Whoops.

          Anyway thanks for the tips @ARNC that all makes perfect sense.

          @Giles Lovely couple in that photo, I'm sure you are proud of them! They look excellent. Oddly enough, my fiancée was looking at that same dress but decided against it. I think I will go with IH chinos, I didn't realize they dressed up nicely. That makes it much easier.

          Now I just need to find a nice jacket…

          @vaquero357 haha those two words together are oddly cool

            Mine is a Ralph Lauren which I got from an outlet about 20 years ago. If I paid more than USD100 for it, I'd be very surprised…..

            This is similar....

                  If you have time and patience a good thrift store or Goodwill is an excellent place to find high quality pieces at low cost.  I had a perfectly fitting Harris tweed sport jacket that I found for $40.  It was beautiful.

                      Wow great wedding photo and cool building. That’s around the corner from my office and the studios I teach in but haven’t seen it. Will check it out next week.

                        I love old buildings.  East cost has so many good ones.  New Mexico, less so.  At least none that aren’t made from adobe.

                            If you're looking to do the mix and match, find a pair of pants that you already own and would wear (if you've got some) and go from there. Doesn't have to be fancy or dressy, a plain pair of chinos or khakis will get the job done. Then you can just ball out and get a nice blazer to dress it all up. Get something you'll wear again and again. And find a tailor in town that you love.

                            Wants List:
                            IHSH-20-Red, XL
                            IHSH-208-Indigo Kersey, L-XL
                            IHSH-254-Grey Kersey, L-XL
                            IHSW-45 Black, M
                            IH-526SV 21oz type III, 38 or 40
                            IH-777S-SB size 32
                            IH-777S-142 size 31 or 32

                                Congrats @Oaktavia !

                                I wore Iron Heart 😃

                                Blazers and sports coats are great, but I personally find brass buttons (too yacht club) and elbow pads (too professorial) you often find on them to be outdated. I do like unstructured coats for more casual occasions.

                                I also like the corduroy one you linked.

                                Think it, be it.

                                    That's fucking vile. We are indeed a "virus with shoes" as Bill Hicks put it. If they can't be bothered to clothe the needy at least recycle them. I don't understand the economics of littering the Chilean desert with them.

                                      Highly recommend that anyone driving distance to London check out this terrific band March 26-27 of next year:

                                      https://www.jambase.com/article/billy-strings-tour-dates-london-debut

                                      They'd fall within the Americana classification with a bluegrass/newgrass/progressive bluegrass base, but Billy has a thrash background too (he does a pretty good heavy metal hair whip when his hair is long enough) that occasionally makes it way in among other influences.

                                      Tickets go on sale this Friday.

                                      An original:

                                        @mclaincausey I just tried to get tix for both nights, but the pre-sale has sold out. Will be trying again for general admission! He could have played much bigger venues here in the UK!!

                                          @mclaincausey @IH-GARY  I’m a big Billy Strings fan too. Hoping his Austin City Limits show will help him get the exposure he deserves. I’ve never gotten to see him live but have watched a lot of his performances on YouTube. There are some of him and Tommy Emmanuel that will make most guitarists (particularly acoustic players) want to quit.  He is truly special.

                                          Hope you can score some tickets Gary!
