That jacket looks like it's glowing. I think a white shirt might look better with the jacket. The blue parts of the jacket are amplified by the blue shirt. I might also go with a darker pair of pants.

AAS - you have a really good eye for colour advice. I've been reading your suggestions to people, and they're almost always spot-on. Definitely agree with your suggestions here too.

The blazer is tremendous fun. I think it would look even better if the green taping continued into the notch of the lapel. In fact, I'd strongly suggest getting that done if the jacket came with any spare ribbon.

The cream linen trousers are fine, but I think pale grey trousers would work better. Shirt is wrong for it IMO; if you want to wear it open-collar, I think pale blue would work better, or if you want to keep the white shirt, sling on a tie as well.

It's a great piece; many happy wearings!

Is that jacket suitsupply soho? I um'ed & ah-ed over that one for ages; you're just making me regret not buying it now.

Weather has dropped the couple of degrees it needed to for me to tolerate a jacket & tie today, for the grey jacket challenge:

Just looked at this post again, that jacket is fantastic. Can you give more info, please?

Thanks mate.
It's by Kiton. Full cashmere, unstructured and half lined.

Don C, Jazz, Spoo, IanGP nice.  

Thx Pliny!

I think it includes myself, Fred45, Clapyron, Parker, Derek, I'd throw Spoo in there too.

Spoo does have some slick hair.

New job, turning the page on to the next chapter of my life.
They are the Allen Edmonds Kenwood loafer, the are very comfortable and have started to develop a cool patina.

Heres what I wore for my last day of work today (as well as my 23rd birthday):









A candid picture my co worker took as well as what my co worker/ mentor sported today:

Good luck and keep posting!

If it's hot as I think it is down there I don't know how you can wear a 3 piece suit without getting soaked with sweat.

I'm sorry and I may be in a minority of one, but that's a crash and burn for me, Spoo. The shirt gives off that 'I've just come off work, taken off my tie and now it's time to par-tay' vibe, the jacket is a matter of taste - I think it's pretty hideous, but I accept that others might like it and it might work in some combinations - but there's some weird clash rather than concordance of hue or tone going on between the trousers, jacket and shirt, and the links are cheap tourist tat that can only be worn ironically and wearing things ironically is not good. Shoes are nice, though...

+1.

judging from the pics, i dont think spoo gives a **** what you think about his green/ivory/white.

I wouldn't wear the sport coat. Not because it's not nice, but because I can't pull that off. Especially in the mid-west. Same for the cuff-links. Which is why I'm glad Spoo is wearing them, so I can enjoy them vicariously.

Keep it up Spoo. Keep it up everyone. So many great fits... hopefully I one day qualify for some good fits here.
