Pieter in Suspenders Then and Now

Whenever one travels, there is a chance you come upon unique finds.

Thus was the case on our trip to South Africa where husband Pieter lectured at a conference and where both of us traveled all around for visiting numerous mushroom farms. 

On Monday, November 18 of 1985, we found this couture shirt of Lanvin for only $ 32.00 due to the fluctuation of the South African Rand.

Here on June 22, 1986 husband Pieter is wearing it with his white cotton pique pants and leather suspenders.

Fast forward, 24 years later, same husband, same cotton pique pants and new leather suspenders.

Now paired with an Outlet find from Last Call by Neiman Marcus at the Colonnade Outlets at Sawgrass, FL.

This is a Brioni shirt, that we found for a steal!

Husband Pieter never gained any weight, just like me; same size all the time.

The Brioni shirt needs to be worn with cuff links but Pieter got several pair.

You can also see the detail of the pique pants where I stitched the crease, so it always stays in impeccable and thus avoiding a double crease.
