OK then - who would WEAR this??

I dunno, it's kind of nice in a "color blind MacFrankenstein" way. It would probably go great with those seersucker pants with lobsters embroidered on that Brooks Brothers comes out with....every....year....ughh.

I'm ordering one.

I've found my Doc Martens brogues (black-n-white) in the closet and I will be dancing in the aisles at The English Beat . Maybe Philly in Jan. or more likely Indianapolis in May.

But then I'm not pretending that I'm Cock o' the North on a daily basis and can wear different and appropriate things to different events.

Scott (artificer), you with me?

If I should suddenly become flush with spending money I'll jump right on it. Maybe the 'after Christmas' sale will make it more do-able.
(I'm financially committed to a few big projects right now.

)

Otherwise, I'll be sporting my standard ivory and black houndstooth jacket. BTW: where did you find the 2011 dates for The Beat? I can only find up through early Feb.

Scroll down on the link, there's a "Share your thoughts..... section and they have posted the following.

Four new dates Just Announced! 5/21 Indianapolis IN, 5/22 St Louis MO, 5/24 Albuquerque NM, 5/25 Tucson AZ.

I would imagine the May 21 show in Indy is best for you, a 6 hour drive perhaps? It's maybe 7 1/2 for me, not including any delays at the border. I have a friend in Indy, if I can park my trailer in his driveway for the weekend I'll haul it and sleep there.

Oh, if only we could turn back time...that jacket surely would've made a cameo appearance in "So I Married an Axe Murderer."

Well at that price, I do not have to worry about getting one for Christmas. Whew!

If anyone seriously still doesn't get it, go to images.google.com and look up some pictures of the band Real Big Fish. I could almost see Jack White wearing one, but not quite.

Brooks Brothers does the same with a pair of britches-cost a fortune, and always end up in the really discounted sale catalogs...

BLEH!

Clear sign of a trend emerging somewhere. Heck, if it comes to that, I'll just take apart everything I already own and put it back together differently. Duct tape is due for a fashion comeback.

Duct tape may have to be reserved for more formal wear... it's already making a show at proms ;)
