So, suppose that you end up receiving a suit in the mail from Retrospec. What do you even do with something like this?

I mean, it's a a very handsome and well-tailored suit, but it looks a little too vintage to be able to pass off as a business suit or something of the like.

If I can convince someone to go with me, maybe.

I get the feeling I'll be mistaken for a butler if I wear this, still.

[ Which he supposes shouldn't be too surprising to him since he was apparently a butler at some point in his past life, or whatever that is? But still. ]

Do you normally just run into butlers at the opera or at fancy parties? Do people who aren't royalty even keep butlers anymore?

It's like one of those things you only read about or see on TV but don't actually get to see much in real life, except then when you do see it you immediately think of it because the look is kind of iconic.

Or maybe they'll just think I'm dressing up.

I wouldn't wear it grocery shopping, but if you wear it somewhere you're supposed to be dressing up, you'll be fine.

I guess I have more reasons to find excuses to dress up then.

Treat yourself. And treat your suit.

[fairhands]

Thanks. I'll go ask my husband out for dinner too.

There you go, everyone wins. It's not the worst thing you could get from Retrospec at all.

[fairhands]

It isn't. Pardon me if I gave that sort of impression.

[thesettingsun]

No, it's cool. Asking what you can do with it is fair.
