Difficult though it is to believe that another year has run its course, A Suitable Wardrobe and its readers passed a couple of significant milestones recently. For one, we were visited for the one millionth time in December, and that's a number I never dreamt of reaching when I first began posting two years ago. For another, we also exceeded 100,000 visitors in a month and to that, ditto. I hope ASW's readers have found the journey at least as interesting as I.
The photo sums up this journey in the way I'm musing about the year (or perhaps the woman on the cover of the magazine) when I should have been straightening the frame to the upper right. The clothes include a gray 3 roll 2 herringbone suit, brown striped club collar shirt (seen in yesterday's monologue) worn pinned, midnight blue Irish poplin necktie, white linen pocket square, dark brown brogues, and a brown fedora.
Best wishes for a successful 2009 to you and yours. And please wear a dinner jacket tonight.

Would you ever have an existing two button suit in your closet converted to a 3 roll 2?
I would not. Some two buttons have the buttons placed too high to add a third, but generally it's not an important enough change to bother.
Very nice herringbone gray suit
You mention that you wore your shirt pinned, but the shirt from the previous post had no holes. What did you use?
It's a gold safety pin and it's pushed through the collar. When the shirt is laundered the holes close up and there's virtually no sign of them.
That's how pins are best worn in my opinion.
