Last year: ill-conceived concept.
This year: superb!
Completely agree.

Very beautiful work. Matches the jacket very well, as I find a lot better than on the previous project done with Mrs Barrett.
PS: Mr. Crompoton I would like to thank you for the work you put into this blog. I have learned a lot about classical mens´ wear and find your posts highly inspiring, especially considering you post almost every day. Keep up the good work and style!
That’s very kind, thank you Elias
That is very nice.
Not many have buttonholes with our dress suits (a shame perhaps given how elegant it looks in vintage illustrations) but this is a subtle and interesting nod towards it and combines well with the informality of a smoking jacket.
