@Dennis Walter Is this Suitsupply Havana three-piece suit from last winter collection? If so, it looks much better live than on the promotional photos and I kind of wish I got one for myself now.

X-post from the green tie challenge.

The lookbooks for Drake's of London gave me the idea for this fit. I love this jacket with denim.

SC - Raffaele Caruso tweed
Shirt - Kamakura
Tie - Tie your Tie Cashmere
Trousers - Levi´s
Shoes - C&J Belgrave in Polo Suede

You had the right idea in your head this morning when you dressed. But, in practice this is a failure.

The orphan suit jacket is a failure. Both as an odd jacket...and more importantly in relation to how it fits you. It doesn't fit you. I think you should get rid of it. It's too short and an alteration on it won't help. I don't like the "french blue" shirt. To me this is a strictly business shirt. Not one I would wear with an odd jacket and trousers. And one in general that I would choose rarely. The tie and ps are ok. The best thing about your fit is your shoes which are a serious improvement over every other pair I have seen from you.

But I think most importantly your fits give off an unpleasant slovenliness. Perhaps it is the heavy wrinkling of your jacket and trousers which is worsened by the poor fit of the jacket. A well pressed jacket and sharply creased trousers would improve your overall appearance dramatically.

+1 I think this about nearly all of Koala's fits.

Spandexter, very cool.

Anden, looking good. I've really liked the Drake's lookbook this season.

Thanks for all the thumbs up on yesterday's outfit!


I'm not very familiar with the term of "low-contrast" outfit, but I guess you could call what I wear today like this.

@SYCSYC , may I just say that you are one of the most improved posters around here lately.

Shoes still need work though

Yes indeed @blekit - it is a SuSu. The urge to have it hit me like a thunderstruck when i first laid eyes upon it. It doesn´t get much love around here, but i love it.


Cheers, @Anden .

@Anden - a freaking awesome look, depite the jeans. I wouldn´t wear jeans with a tie (seems incongruent to me), so i would have ditched them in favor of grey flannels. Still: a killer look.
