Long sleeves, and aviator style watch look great on a bund. I wouldn't venture too far from that.

Well, Kyle, we may cringe but you're the one wearing the goofy setup. However, to each his own and all that jazz, but always keep in mind that goofy is as goofy does.

If you ever forget that, think fondly of JJ.
