HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

Back from dinner


Enjoy my bathroom while it lasts, guys. I'll be moving to the suburbs of Seoul and jumping from one to three bedrooms. I believe the new place will also have natural light (while my current place has massive windows, it just looks onto more buildings). I've lived here for two years and I've never figured out what that hose is for. I don't even know if those faucets are connected to anything.

Those hoses are usually for a bum gun. They are common in many Asian apartments though you won´t usually see them inn Hotels. My apartment in Taipei had them.

Killin it homey. How many solid blue ties do you own?

 

[Claghorn]

Suit is from Howard Yount. Jamison has a suit customer for life. Best fitting RTW I've ever had on torso and shoulders, though there is a wrinkle/bump below the collar on the back. I'm wondering how much it costs to fix that and whether it's worth getting it taken care of. (what generally causes that?)

From my new thread: "Ultra Versatile Riveria Weekend 2 Suit Combo" in case you are interested in how to pack only 2 suits for a weekend of elegant living on the Riveria!

Awesome new suit Clag.

The Four Pattern Awesomeness Medal (sponsored by TTO), is a no contest in favour of Sugarbutch.

Timo - that's pretty fabulous.

@timo: Nice and simple - proof that you don't need much to look great.

superb look, timo.

Thanks, guys.
I actually only own two solid blue ties (one Grenadine & one Silk-Knit in a nice 8cm width).

I think you just have to lower the collar a little. Pretty sure that can be done. No idea how much. My places take a week to cuff trousers, not an hour. This tells me we don't go to the same place.

"Best fitting suit off the rack." - Lucky. I don't get that, being a 38L. Looking great.

That was going to be my guess. I have been eyeing that suit for a while, and I really like it. I may have to go for if they still have it in my size.

I've had mine cuffed over coffee (I have a tricky right shoulder, so I've spent a lot of money on alterations). For big stuff, time is less important than quality. For something like cuffing pants, there is no need for it to take more than two days to get back.

Damn. Looks like I'll have to talk to my tailor. I know it's easy work (I can do it myself, but I don't prefer to) and only takes a few minutes.

Spoiler: Moar

This isn't bad, mimo. The pants look a bit short, though. Also, for future purchases, you might want to get jackets with the breast pocket closer to the center of your chest. The placement on what I've seen you wear so far accentuates your broad chest.

Arrived this morning. Had the pants shortened and got it back an hour later. I was briefly tempted to get 2" cuffs, but I figured that suit was #menswear enough and decided to go cuff-less.

Cuffs predate #menswear, Clag.

I agree. I've cuffed everything. Started ignoring the rule that you can't cuff flat-front pants. I love the transition from the pants to sock/shoe with the cuff.

Love the shirt Mimo. And I agree with SB on the pocket and pant length. Not that my opinion holds water...
