    Double Breasted Style.

    Sample sale? 4x2, 38R, J. Press Japan? I carried that SOB around for 20 minutes before I talked myself down from it (I would have had to mess with the blades to make it work, and I don't do that). I would have ditched the brass buttons, worn it like a navy blazer with a sense of occasion (as...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

    Howdy! Feedback is always appreciated. I wore this with a cream silk square. Shirt is light blue herringbone.

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

    Thank you both. It's a tricky shirt for me – the wide collar and extremely smooth poplin steered me into thinking it would work in this context, but I think if I had looked at it from this point of view, I would have thought better of it. I think the problem I'm running into is that everything...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

    Thanks. I am familiar with that principle, but even with it in mind I made the call that this shirt looked alright. Less sure about that now, probably won't repeat it.

    For someone with a modest income what clothing items should I spend a little extra on? Right now it

    I agree wholeheartedly. That said, I haven't seen many ties I like at department stores. But on the flip side, I can't bear to spend too much on ties.

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

    Thanks. Here's today. If I could take an inch of spread out and mail it to @blekit I probably would. I think I'm going to have these pants tapered slightly from the knee down. Brooksgate suit/Hawes & Curtis tie/Sante De Chio shirt (thanks @nerdykarim )/no-name pocket square (thanks...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

    Thanks. I like the hank in the wide shot, but not in the close-up. I shot them some time apart, and I suppose it fell down or stuck out and I messed with it. Or the lighting between the two shots is that different. Do you reckon it's the PS as a whole, or just the red and blue in there? I...

    Jacket Style Critique

    This is a conversation to have with your tailor, who will have his own ideas. Ask him questions, don't say "some guy from New Jersey told me online that I should wear a wide lapel and a low button stance."

    This is my boat as well, though I'm buying OTR so of course it's a balancing act.

    Shoes to wear with leatherjackets

    I think suede boots would be cool. I wouldn't wear shoes in the same color. Maybe some kind of rough/waxy leather in dark brown, like kudu Alden Indy boots or something.

    Neckties: A Discussion Thread

    I'm not sure what you mean by a geometric pattern – like a check? IDK if I'd do a check. Maybe a very subtle one. I think a lighter/less-businesslike suit is a good idea, but tie with shirtsleeves is not a good look in my opinion. Don't know if I'd do an Hermes tie with a cardigan, either –...

    Classic Menswear Lounge

    Isn't that gorgeous Despos piece technically a wait coat, the ancestor of the polo coat that was actually used for polo?

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

    Welcome. I like the cloth of your suit – subtle checks like that are really fun to furnish. The lapel seems a bit narrow, though. The combination of patterns and colors is okay – the tie (though not my steeze) works well with the suit, though the shirt is somewhat unrelated to the rest – a...

    Classic Menswear Lounge

    The teal is enough for me. And scale-wise, the Drakes is a bit smaller, which is what I was talking about as much as color. Weirdly, I found this today, and threw it on with what I was wearing. Obviously, a big part of why this is working is the layer, and the squarelessness (if in fact it...
