Clags... is that a SuitSupply jacket?
UNIFORM LA Japanese BDU Camo Cargo Pants Drop, going on right now.

They're made of a premium 13.5-ounce Japanese twill that has been sulfur dyed for a vintage look. Every detail has been carried over from the inspiration and elevated. Available in two colorways, tundra and woodland. Please find them here
Good luck!.

I prefer Chesterton's quote at the bottom of my posts to Vreeland's!

Why do I have to post just as a discussion about elegance begins?
Quote:This can't be re-posted too much. The epitome of elegance.
I know everyone has different tastes and styles - and that is the purpose of this thread - but it baffles me why more of this superb European simplicity has not in general had more influence in the US, UK or Australia for that matter.
Sander is an awsm poster, but if u think he or his partner-in-crime Braddock are indicative of 'European elegance' you'll be sadly disillusioned going back thru their posts.
I agree with you, but fact is most of us ham it up for the camera here (AFAIK, I hope, tell me it's true!) . Gotta puton a bit of a show. No-one wants to see me or Sander etc in grey suits (my work sprezz) day after day after day
$5 says it's a SuSu Washington...
Ok, eagle-eyed SF chaps: am I smoking crack or is this button placement wonky?
That's not my arm pulling up on it; it does that all the time. I'm holding it in place with my finger where I think it ought to go in pic 3.
It's always bothered me, but I had Enzo Caruso work on this jacket in LA, and he didn't say nothin', so I let it slide. DBs aren't normally my thing, but every man should have one and so I do. But I don't think it oughta work this way.
If the button is goofy, I'm stuck with it, right? The weave will be all pulled where the old placement was, I'm assuming.
Bonus points if you find the Sex Pistols reference in this look (US version only).
Why don't you pin a trial button on in the spot u think it should be? It's what a tailor would do.
PS that execrable tie- colors of NMTBs. u gave it away wit your 'American version'
..... theres no point in asking, youlll get no reply.Oh, but it's so pretty, oh so pretty...
Good suggestion, I will try it.
But my real question—I suppose I might have to take this into a tailoring thread—is if this rather light worsted is going to be all chewed up where the old button was. Any experience, anyone?

I hear you—I like it a lot too—but if everyone wore this all the time, God what a dull world.
There was a time not so long ago in the US when this look (albeit not done quite this well) was practically compulsory, and wearing so much as a striped shirt to the office was seen more or less as a public confession of rampant, uncontrollable sodomy. IBM rather famously banned blue shirts: too flamboyant.
I think one reason this look has garnered so much attention is that StyFo invites risk-taking, and speaking for myself, I often post looks that contain elements I'm on the fence about, because I'm looking for feedback. I hesitate to post solid, proven excellence because I fear boring people.
Between this and the peacocking, few of us think to get back to (very excellent) basics.
you're the man AAS
