Because wearing grenadines is like shouting "look at me, I'm a #menswear afficionado"

Why do I dislike the jacket in the first/far photo but love the second/near look of it?


The second photo it's a rich grey with blues to it.  In the first photo, it's Air Force blue.  My guess is you find the colour presentation harsh in the first photo.

When I ignore the second photo, I actually "acclimate" to the first one and start to enjoy it. Anyway, I really like the jacket. Does it have matching pants @Caustic Man?

This rox. Dunno why I don't wear black grenadines/knits more often, they always look good


Tie fabric looks similar to GRP bubble-stitch cardis currently offered at NoMan. Cool.

yeah it's kinda weird but i like it.

@EliodA True? u don't wear grenadines cos they too @menswear? (Nice fit BTW)
Assuming u r serious, I think only ppl on SF and a few others would even know the difference between a grenadine and a challis/madder/repp/linen/wool knit etc

If you don't know then I sure don't.

Since you describe it that way I guess neither photo is true to life. The first pic is closer to the actual color, but there is no gray in it at all. It's all blues, from navy on up.

Nope, no trousers. It's a sport coat.

Thanks dude. I often reach for that black knit when a blue jacket is involved.
