    What a great deal you found. I wouldn't have thought of a Navy PC jacket, but it looks good on you.

    Rob, it looks great. Now you need something a tad less formal to wear in front of Judge McGurk.

    You look great.


    I personally do not like scrunchie (ruche) ties (somewhere Glen and Trefor's nostrils flair and their cheeks twitch) but that is just me. I think that if that sort of tie makes you feel elegant or dashing, then you are going to look far more elegant and dashing wearing one instead of a bow tie (for the sole reason that you feel elegant and dashing*). Hence, you look great.

    Kudos on finding such a good deal.


    Cheers

    Oh! That looks great on you - what a lot of fun. You got such a good deal on the jacket, maybe you'd consider having the waist nipped in just a little bit more. You have the physique to really pull that cropped jacket look off to the max.

    I'm not envious.




    Really.







    Much at all.

    Oh, dear! To be lumped into the same category as these gentlemen, I don't know what to say. I don't even own a kilt jacket (yet). But I must disagree about Grant. Anyone who can make an entrance in head-to-toe kilted desert camouflage or Maple Leaf (Canadian camo) without betraying a hint of irony is dashing in my book.
    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.

    Congratulations on the PC I'm sure it will see you through many events, as for the rouche tie, I have tried it, in fact I have several of them, however I think that having a bow tie would help as well, as there will be events where you may want to go with one or the other. What Jamie says is true it is very important to look and feel elegant and dashing, I would say feeling elegant is more important, one comes from the other if you feel dashing and elegant you will look dashing and elegant, you can not underestimate the effect attitude has on how you look.
