The latest suit in the shoppe for men is one of my new favorites. It's called the Nantes Suit and comes in four versions. This is a very versatile mix-and-match suit, with jackets interchangeable with vest-shirts, and multiple layered sculpted collars.
The BlakOpal Nantes Suit in black with a red vest has a wonderful houndstooth tweed jacket with a series of small buttons down the front, and a contrasting suede collar. The vest, in a shade of deep red with a subtle cog pattern, has a standing collar and metal buttons. The shirt underneath has a starched standing collar and french cuffs with cog cuff links. A classic silk bow tie is wrapped around the neck. The outfit includes coordinated pants with smooth pants flares. There is also a marvelous mekanikal belt buckle worn over the coattails with rotating gears and antique map.
Other colors include the BlakOpal Nantes Suit in chocolate brown tweed with a black vest. With it's own stylish standing vest collar, these outfits still looks fabulous without the jacket, for those time when you want to be a bit more relaxed. Separate collars also means you can wear a different vest with any jacket. The belt is also separate from the coattails, giving you even more opportunity to personalize your look.

And BlakOpal Nantes Suit in blue tweed with a burgundy vest.
I think any (or all) of them would make an excellent addition to any wardrobe! I do hope you enjoy them.

Many hugs!

BlakOpal Designs in Second Life (SLURL)

Just a day before the festivities were set to begin at Burning Life (Second Life's version of Burning Man) I got a note card from my good friend, the brilliant designer Thorn Witrial. He had just completed something called Poseidon's Chariot ... well, i HAD to go see, so he TP'd me to his special showroom above the shop he shares with another designer named Bobo. Well, let me tell you, the chariots were simply amazing, and ABSOLUTELY what i needed for roaming around the upcoming event.


I of course, chose the black and red one ( :D ) and after a few seconds of fiddling with my AO, was ready to roam.


I just can't say enough about these beautiful creations. the textures are really beautiful, and since you wear it, there is no problem rezzing it wherever you want to ride. I quickly said my good bye to Thorn, and whisked myself away to the playa to do some sightseeing. First stop, Eridu, to check on things.


First stop ... our camp, The Eridu Society Airship Outpost ... I was happy to discover there was already a large group of people hanging out at our camp, enjoying some Ninkasi Ale, while changing into the Expedition Wear and other free goodies we left lying about in crates. There was a crackle of excitement in the air all over town, and I couldn't wait to explore.


indeed many wonders awaited ............
(more to come)
