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

[Wild Strawberry Rabbit]

 

[blekit]

Maiden voyage for the shoes - black adelaide oxfords made by TLB Mallorca. So far I can say, that when it comes to leather quality and the craftmanship, they seem to be better than Yanko (which constitute a vast majority of my small collection). After few wears I'll try to write something more if anyone's interested.

Spoiler: Details

* suit and shirt from Suitsupply
* tie and ps from Poszetka
* TLB Mallorca shoes

Shoe color is nice with a navy suit, tie pattern (squares) isn't my cup o' joe but again the colors are good and it looks like it goes well with the shoes, and then... there's the PS...

This is probably one of your older suits but there's really not a lot of good to say about it. Patch pockets never make a whole lot of sense to me on grey suits in general, the light color washes you out, the jacket is too short, and the pants are way too tight. You also chose a shirt that doesn't contrast well with the suit while black shoes have the opposite problem and (maybe just to me) really only belong with darker grey or navy. Cleav does black shoes justice.

I do like the shoes, though.

Any chance your "chair by the window" brand may evolve to include "standing by the window with the camera far enough away to see the whole thing"? Always good on color palettes, of course.

I like the tie/jacket combo here, at least in the lighting of the full shots. Would prefer a solid shirt or at least one where the pattern was a little more different in scale than the jacket. And I've never quite felt like those black (they are black, right?) suede balmorals made much sense. They seem to be a contradiction in and of themselves so I'm not sure where they would actually work better.

Your PS folds let your fits down in general. Square-ish/triangle-ish with printed silk... I'm not feeling it. If they slip down maybe look for some simple pattern PS options in a wool/silk blend. Those stay put much better if that's what the issue is.

Has the jacket been tailored yet? Seems big/baggy here. The trousers are from a local maker if I'm remembering correctly? I like them a lot. They seem to fit a lot better than the S&M trousers that came with your new suits. Tie/PS combo is cool in an unexpected way.

Gloomy morning.

Is this an orphaned suit jacket? Even if it isn't, the jacket seems out of place with the rest of it. Was it cold enough to need one?

conservative business dress Cleav is Great tie and example of how to do a light tie in a dark business rig.

I like this combo a lot. You may not be interested, and you don't have to go that much wider, but those super slim trousers are just too slim. They're catching on your calves, hence the ripples below the knees, and cuffs that hug your ankles make your feet look comical.

Plain white/cream PS might be a better choice here too but that one works better than I would expect based on the fact that it looks like black with white dots?
