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

[An Acute Style]

I’ve always felt the crewneck with a necktie was a weird flex. With a bow tie though…

I love this, great colour composition and gorgeous cloth on that jacket. Agreed about the crewneck jumper (lovely colour, construction and fit).

The weather in NYC today is seasonably cold and sunny, at least currently. My social media feeds have been overflowing with pictures from Pitti Uomo 105, and I am feeling a bit of FOMO for now being there (balanced with the knowledge that I am sure that Florence is heaving with peacocks, which might not be the ideal time to visit, other than to view them).

In any case, I've been inspired to dress up, if only in faint emulation of the sartorial splendors being perpetrated in Florence at this time. I am trying out a few things - today's cufflinks are making their debut, and, in anticipation of my visit to London next week, I am giving my bowler hat a test drive, to see if I can stand wearing it for a week - we shall see.

Suit - Oliver Brown, London

Cufflinks - The Persian Shop, NYC
Braces - New & Lingwood
Pocket square - Brooks Brothers
Shoes - Paul Stuart house brand

Ready for the hunt.

Yes, but you're not going hunting in this suit. And because of that, I feel that all the patch pocket/flap/button adornment detracts from what would otherwise be a very nice suit. Said more simply, in this case, less is more.

Same same, but ever so slightly different...

If this were my first or tenth suit, I would agree. Alas, I can play around a bit now that I have the bases for conservative suits covered.

Yesterday. Brown, yellow, green.

In today’s world a bowler is always gonna come with a high degree of difficulty as they are so rarely seen they’re bordering on anachronistic (not that this would bother you! 😀) - but when paired up with the dark (navy?) overcoat it looks absolutely fine. Still not a common sight in NY or London. I’m trying to think of the right word - blends? merges? complements? - point being is that the end result is just right as opposed to “LOOK AT ME AND MY WACKY HAT” - which is coincidentally the reaction I experience when I see most of the Pittiful pictures.

Enjoy London, I’d be interested to hear if you see any other bowlers there or if they are all but extinct by now.

Cold outside but my meetings are in an office that is always super hot so I went with 4 ply and then a heavy overcoat. Channeling the Piti peacocks for a little fun.

Loving the brown DB suit and fit is superb.
