That's Dandy

So Megan gets a dress, and I get a suit. But what kind of suit? For a while I have been thinking of something a bit different than a normal tux, just as Megan has been thinking of something a little bit different than a normal white dress. (She can talk about that)

What exactly? I don't know but the Indians sure know how to dress up a guy! And the image on the left was painted in 1809 of Count Victor Kochubey around the time of the "Dandy" (also known as a "Dude" - who knew). Or this one of Francois Jean Baptist Isabey in a riding coat.

There just seemed to be a time when men wrote clothing that varied more than then a black suit with tie. Perhaps I am just old fashioned circa 1800.
