Gilbert Wang, and I'm from Kingston, New York. Yes. Allstate New York in the house and the most Apple one here. Yeah? Thank you. Break it down. Tell me what you're wearing. A vintage Italian suit jacket, nineteen forties dress trousers, a shirt I made myself, and a cap by Thomas Farther. Yeah. Tell me about the shirt and tie combo. I choose to wear the shirt and the necktie together because the pinks are the same ish, but different, and they kind of they work together. I love it. And then you have this lapel pin from Dandy Wellington. Yes. Vintage styles, not vintage values. Correct? Yes. I'm a big fan of Dandy Wellington. Shout out to Dandy. Let's rate the fit. Scale of one to 10, how would you rate today's land? I'd put it at a 7.5 because I would afford a waistcoat and a better hat if possible. Thank you so much. Peace. Thank you.
