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

[DorianGreen]

I bought this bespoke jacket made by Elia Caliendo for a song - it's a surprisingly good fit given it's not my pattern. Just needs a bit of letting out at the side seams. Or I need to stop eating so many steaks and drinking so much wine but where's the fun in that?

The cloth is amazing though, just the right shade of oatmeal, Loro Piana - 85% cashmere, 15% wool, 11oz. It's noticeable but subtle at the same time, I love wearing it.

Worn with W&S bespoke trousers in Drapers 4-ply, 100 Hands OCBD, and Edward Green Belgravia.

I really like this strong contrast between the oatmeal and the charcoal. Very nice cut. I wouldn't touch the jacket, it fits you well as it is.

A bit of colour for yesterday’s London trunk show.

Very nice, a very pleasant touch of colour.

Yes, I would have guessed you like that pop or orange..

Thank you very much! I see what you mean, but perhaps the photos are a bit misleading - the jacket is definitely snug around the midsection and shoulder blades. It is certainly wearable but a little letting out will make me feel better about my figure and give me some breathing space. 😅

Yesterday. I always want to wear black shoes with this suit because of the black in the Herringbone, but it appears more like a tan suit from afar.

Split the difference and go with burgundy to pick up the tie / waistcoat combo?

As you know, I'm not a suit lover, but I really like this one in heavy tweed. Lovely combination with the burgundy cardigan.

Beautiful colour composition in my eyes.

Got to put a suit on this morning! I’m rocking my samuelsohn today with my Allen Edmonds. Contrasting from yesterday where I was in my work clothes all day.

I haven't worn a suit in a while but I have a couple of meetings today so I thought I should make the effort.

The added benefit is that I get to wear my black oxfords and this amazing Private White x PS trenchcoat. Snagged the trenchcoat last week and I just love how dramatic it is. Really practical too with all the pockets and the wool liner.

Some shots below in various buttoning configurations.
