He certainly has a mild-mannered look (does the phrase mild-mannered accountant ring a bell?) but the pattern is bold, and he's having a portrait made. You could make up quite a set of stories with these photos!Nancy/BLissed-Out Grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17223278142557533175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-18513766201254535622009-12-13T15:16:13.934-06:002009-12-13T15:16:13.934-06:00My first thought as soon as I saw the photo before...My first thought as soon as I saw the photo before reading what you had written was... teacher. He looks like teachers in my mom's old yearbooks from the 40's. Classic appearance. Your guessing game sounds fun. I can just imagine you and Far Guy coming up with some wild and funny conversation.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858158707328118375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-31116080454220254882009-12-13T14:59:23.269-06:002009-12-13T14:59:23.269-06:00You are right about him looking studious!

I would call that suit pattern houndstooth, although I did see a reference to it in one area as 'classic herringbone,' but I think they were wrong. Herringbone is a v-shape weaving--many tweed coats have the pattern--it is named after the bones of a herring.abrahttp://www.areavoices.com/abrelamentenoreply@blogger.com
