Necktie, vest and french cuffs, stylish or faux pas?

How do you feel about microsuede? It’s more casual and has an interesting texture.

Thanks, but short sleeves with cufflinks?

I think I’m sticking with the original plan for now, in part because it’s too late to get anything else and have it altered. I got a very nice shirt and cufflinks last night; if nothing else, it’s a start toward a more conventionally proper wardrobe. And I’m stubborn (I still want those shoes, dammit.).

If I can get some pictures, I’ll post them and the local fashionistas can mock me. And I’m kinda hoping to have a thread that gets to two pages.
