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

[DiplomaticTies]

Experimenting with a more classic cut (old fashioned?). The suit is from Sartoria Scuderi, based north of Rome and a tailor with a Roman aesthetic. Fuller cut in both jacket and pants and fairly marked and padded shoulders, as the tailors of Rome used to do it. The fabric comes from Zegna's Heritage line which is based on archived fabrics, from the 20s and 30s, which I think suits the style.

Overall, this is one of my favorites I've seen of you. I am nit-picking, but the shirt might be too cool to pair with the warm suit and tie. Either that, or maybe it's too "business" to wear with a linen, patch pocket suit. Keep in mind that you're miles ahead of my own style, and I'm having a hard time pinpointing what is "off."

Also, and I don't mean to pile on you here, but I always think your silhouette looks a little bell-shaped, with narrow shoulders and wide, flared out hips. I think the pants issue being discussed has something to do with it, but maybe extended shoulders could help as well?

Keep in mind that I don't see that characteristic in this suit at all, I'm just referring to the general feel I get from a lot of your previous pictures.

So, details on the bow tie?

Vintage. Bought it late 80’s when I worked for a company called Today’s Man. They are no more

New jacket, old BB madras. I do think the shirt/PS choice here are less than ideal on a few fronts but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I almost don’t recognize who I am for typing this, but I think I’d prefer a blue shirt? Unsure about square, but, assuming not white, something simple.

The general consensus is sky blue linen or chambray (the non denim-y kind) for the shirt, cream for the square. It's time for a few new summer shirts anyway...

Great fit. Simple but very effective. Would be interesting to see full body shots as well.

Thanks! As I’m just doing quick selfies on my way to work I’m afraid that full body shots are not possible. Here is a photo of same suit and same tie from some other day.

A grey, cool wet start to the week here in NYC, and, for no particular reason, I seem to have channeled my inner Gordon Gekko. C'est la vie en rose . . .

Different shades of blue; inside and outside correspond...
(which is a lie, as I'm happy as ever)

Double up of the pics... something went wrong. It's the story of my life, and I'm used to it.

Monday. I liked this combo better before I'd seen the picture of it, if that makes sense.

^ Still think it mostly works, but the shade of the tie and the jacket don't quite mesh IMO. Great knot though.

Yeah that's what kinda bugging me about it. I thought maybe the burgundy would be ok, but the tie comes off peachy in colour.

Long time no see. I’ve had my hands full. Went to work on Saturday.
