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

[SprezzaTrash]

Here's looking at you, kid.

Went to a Casablanca themed event at a tiki bar and had to wear this dinner jacket. Was one of the few young people who dressed up, but still fun! When we walked around Hollywood Blvd after, a lot of people asked me if I had just gotten married or came from prom.

@SprezzaTrash very Emilio Largo-esque, only missing the eye patch! Love it!

@Newcomer that's bold but well-executed. Don't give us any lines about how law associates should not be noticed when wearing pinstripes and paisley, though!

Thanks bud! I actually ended up taking off the vest - a bit too hot - and the whole getup is not too flashy. The paisley tie is ancient madder, so it is a bit less showy than it looks in pictures!

@Newcomer flawless, IMHO. Always have been a fan of flannel chalk stripes. Some might say the pocket square appears matchy-matchy with the tie but I don’t mind it.

Thanks! The square and tie are actually pretty different - but it definitely looks like a matching set in the photos haha.

I thought you gave up on pocket squares?

I was out of the office this morning, but took it out once I arrived at work .

That tie is a "no" for me generally, but particularly with that suit. The suit is lovely, though!

Trying to match the leaves.

Edit: Bleh, bad photo quality on desktop - I swear I don't have a big neon pink wine stain on me.

Vintage trey piece from JC Penney's. Does it look too vintage? Love the collar roll on this Spier Mackey shirt.

The shirt neck looks much too big for you.

@upr_crust That is a very nice blue fabric on wednesday's post

If you are speaking of the shirt fabric, it's a Thomas Mason fabric - actually an erroneous selection by my MTM guy at Brooks Brothers. If you are speaking of the suit fabric, it's a super 110's, off the rack from Paul Stuart.

I think it looks great. This is where gorges are supposed to sit. We will look back in a decade and laugh at these fashionable gorges virtually on the traps.

edit - although of course these days people favour ultrathin cloth, so from the point of view of the suit being made of a decent weight one and thus draping well without bunching and unsightly folds and visible stitching, it looks "vintage"

It's comforting to know that no matter when I happen to check in on WAYWRN, I can be assured that @Mr. Six will have posted something inspiring.

I gave up on the quote and the spoiler. Man alive I am out of touch with the new interface.

It doesn’t get much better than this Cleav.

Grabbed that same burg stripe OCBD during the shirt sale last week, picking it up from the laundry tonight. Even more excited now...
