HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

[in stitches]

new shoes!

Spoiler: OPEN AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!

i like the top. imo the chinos are WAY to casual for the rest of that fit.

I totally agree.

I agree with stitcher regarding the pants, though I'm less averse to them. Tonally (since this seems to be what's on my mind) the shirt and pants in combination are reminiscent of summer where as the tie, square, and jacket work to create a rustic feel that jars against this. The shirt can work with the top because light blue is a total work horse, but this creates a discordance with the bottom. I think a mid grey flannel trouser would be much better, along with a pair of dark brown suede derbies. All over though - did I get to this statement before anyone else? - I wish more first posts in this thread were as consistent as this.

Also, beware the moose knuckle. We are not tailors - which often bears repeating - and do not need to know which way you dress.
I've not been big on stripes either. My last few tie purchases have been macclesfield prints, which I should probably stop. Maybe I should go in for it just to break the cycle. They also still have the forest green with dots in stock. Maybe I'll make a run at both. Something to think on today.

Interesting thoughts! Thanks for your input.

Moose knuckle? Haha. Trust me, there's no moose knuckle action going on in that shot. Must be some kind of light phenomenon or something. But then again, my pents have been known to be somewhat of a rorschach test - in them, people often see what they want to see.

I like the DB and the pants..a very nautical look..

That's a very nice blazer you have there, AAS.

Thanks guys.

 

[SeaJen]

Blues and grays today.

 

[Ebonyman]

Thanks for the replies gents!

AAS, what color is your tie in that fit? Nice use of color as usual..

Stitchie, love the color of that suit. Is the jacket the usual length? It seems a bit short.

Choc, you are consistently killing it!

Rudals, nice looking suit/shirt/tie combo. Hate the oversize/casual watch though.

Now, what is this Friday challenge guys are referring too?

Like the 2nd shot much better and sweet pair of shoes you got there. And please stop taking pictures in the public mens room...or is that your one at home?

Closer shot of today's fit.

Thanks. The tie and socks are purple.

A (questionably) purple tie for the Friday challenge. Ebonyman, I trust the full-length shot amply demonstrates my fitness for the bald-head club. Try not to let the shine blind you.

 

[sugarbutch]

Oh, and Stitchy, you look great today (or yesterday, I guess)

 

[Ebonyman]

Looking good SB and you are in the club!!!

Awesome Baldness Rules!

I envisioned Hannibal Lecter on the phone, whispering "you sound nice!"

Today classic with navy blazer and grey flanell trouser

Nice, both fit and colour. The shirtsleeve is 2 cm too long on the left hand, else it's good.
I think I'll have a Kölsch and enjoy the evening.

that's a smart suit Kai and Holdfast- like it a lot Fox 13 oz navy flannel, English cut by Mears. and w patch pockets, which i regret repp tie linen square

Jacket and tie looks a bit long, no? Other than that, it looks like a rather nice ensemble. May I ask what you regret with the patch pockets? Is it the pairing with a flannel suit? I'm having thoughts about purchasing a grey flannel suit with 2 patch pockets and would very much appreciate your input and expertise. Other are of course also welcome with inputs.

Long time lurker. First time poster. Please, don't be gentle.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I think if you did a mid grey trouser with it it would be fantastic
