HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

From a few days ago when it was 75-80+ degrees in South Florida. Good time to break out this super lightweight Caccioppoli cloth made up by Formosa. Colors came out a bit wonky...don't know why but I guess just weird lighting and I'm not good enough with camera tech to know how to fix it.

@Academic2 your comments are spot on, imo. In addition, @DavidLane I would consider lengthening your jacket a lot more than 1/4". A full inch or so will give you a better silhouette.
@Koala-T the shirt looks quite well with your skin tone actually, it's just too dark for that jacket.

KT, I think that shirt is too saturated.

Cool. Thank you both.

Could be wrong, but it seems like this is the sort of cloth that really pops in natural light. I recall seeing Urban Composition in a similar (or same?) cloth on natural lighting and looked extremely vibrant. Fwiw, I'd prefer a bit more spread in the short collar...comes off more pointy than I'd prefer

Yes, it is a very nice cloth and yes my photos don't do it true justice.

In terms of collar pointiness in the second pic...I think that is largely exaggerated by my arms and shoulders pushing the points together to try and take a good pic. The collar is not actually that pointing as is slightly displayed (though cut off some) in the first pic.

Thank you for your insightful, informative, and thoughtful answer. 

I didn't want to come across as rude, if that was your impression. I just think odd jackets in these cloths are less interesting than more textured fabrics.

Happy New Year! Starting off 2016 with some terrible selfies...

Better good fits and bad photography than the other way round!

Subzero and the dog froze to ice as I took it for a walk. Have to wait for spring to see if he revitalizes.

Suit and tie are perfect together, only thing I'd change is the shirt to something less formal, like a light blue oxford or so.
