Did I hear black and rust?

So you bought the DB sweater in the end. I knew someone would and it fits you perfectly

I only see a problem with sharing so many pictures of the sample polos and I can't stress this enough: The final product will be different, having shorter spearpoint collars. This can be very confusing and people expecting this polo might get disappointed and can lead to returns.

I know you have to sell them now and you don't have the final sample but that is a complain we've shared before with previous products. I'm sorry if this is now sounding like a broken record and I won't say it anymore just in case.

[Nik]

Yeah, I know. I wouldn't worry about it, though. The final polos will simply have a more balanced collar length.

Mammamia, the first jacket... Simon... Please!!

I also like the surprising combination of black and light brown in the second outfit, Nik. I'm definitely trying that. Quite rakish, and I can't quite put my finger on it, but it seems like a colour combo that is vintage-accurate.

Which first jacket @metatron?  Nik's Hollywood, or the DB?

[metatron]

The short Db!

I am starting to think the black looks really good

I'm not much of a black shirt bloke so I haven't paid much attention to such combinations so far. Right now I'm thinking of two ways of my wearing black polos - early post-WWII American with tan/ light brown, also 50s flecked trousers, and 60s French. Among the suit wearers of today, black makes a somewhat regular appearance as a solid black tie worn with pink shirt and tan suit. It does pair well with pinkish hues, cream, and tan to light brown.

I'm imagining a long-sleeve version of the black with black pegs (looser, American style) and a red or burgundy box jacket.... thinking early young Elvis....

Absolutely loving that Hollywood jacket too. Gagging for the SJC version of those to arrive - much like a Harrington or a Pendleton 49er, it's the sort of thing I'd love to have in a whole bunch of colours. (I prefer to think of the colour combo as 'black and fawn', though. "Black and Tan" has..... other implications where I'm from. :p ).

The brunswick green is even better in person. Lovely subtle shade.

[Sean Longden]

The black is so Hollywood

Those narrower collars are sooo much better!
