Special suit for a special day

Post by Indiana Max »

Hey fellas :wink:
Yesterday was the celebration for our age-group at school.
Like nearly all others, I have my general qualification for university entrance now \:D/
It was a really a special day, so I chose a special suit :wink:

That's awesome dude! Congratz. I'm glad people like us have such a great sense of fashion, I wore my magnoli shirt, taupe pants and black tie to my high school graduation yesterday. :D

Max, where did you get your dinner jacket? It looks GREAT!

With the exception of Magnoli, I haven't been able to find a cream colored dinner jacket with the correct lapels.

Great outfit!!

Wow, thank you all for your kind words :notworthy:
Many of my fellas in school identified my suit as a piece from the Indiana Jones trilogy, but no one knew from which movie exactly :wink:
The Dinner jacket cost me 20 $ on German ebay a year ago, the pants are from my black tie (Smoking), the shirt is a tailcoat shirt, like the vest is a tailcoat vest, the bow tie is a self bonding one and my shoes are casual black shoes...That´s it :wink:

A great outfit! And what a bargain - $20 for the jacket! But next time you've got to get some nice dress shoes, as casuals will severely detract from the overall look.

It used to be so difficult to find "almost" "close-enough" "budget versions" of classic clothes. Now there really is no excuse for sloppy dress -- unless that's the "look" you're after.

I need one of the pieces your father collected. A bronze piece about this size ...

Wait a minute, wrong movie.

The deal was for the diamond!

Nice looking outfit Indiana Max. I was ready to guess that you had your suit made to measure.

That surprises me that several classmates recognized the outfit. If I had seen this picture outside of this forum I don't think I would have recognized it immediately.

The "tux" looks fantastic on you.

The coat looks as if it were perfectly tailored to you! :shock:

Question: What did you end up using for cufflinks?
