Comments:

I frequently view latest releases via XStreet, and every so often, a new ensemble catches my eye. I have visited Nightshade Designs in the past and was never compelled to buy anything, but this ensemble piqued my interest.

I am lured by pinstripes, and the skinny 80s tie is reminiscent of one I’d lost in my University days (don’t ask). Call it nostalgia, memories or a personal preference for pinstripes, coupled with the cost, I had to acquire this piece.

I am often seen wearing coat tails as I’ve seldom fancied simple jackets or shirts, and sometimes trousers are not textured in such a way that are flattering at the waist without a coat. However, I am quite pleased with this simple coat, and enjoy the subtle detail and trim. Quite simply… it works.

I look forward to seeing future releases by Nightshade Designs. Thank you for this fun ensemble.
