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

[jaywhyy]

Thank u very much for your comment. None of them is from a suit. Maybe u think like this because of the contrast of the colors. It almost doesnt exist. Sure i ll try to post more

The pants look like they're worsted wool, which screams orphaned. The jacket I had no qualms with

Perfect suit, perfect color

They are wool but with a herringbone pattern

Here goes the second post. Tweed jacket with wool pants ( herringbone pattern again ). Probably would look better normal pattern pants but i m still waiting for them.

Looks like a nice suit Pliny. Would be great to see it in a properly posed and lit photo. I know this might be difficult, but I think the suit deserves a decent shot. Holding the camera up as you do, causes the quarters to splay open and distorts the overall silhouette.

Did you have it made? The lapel width roll are excellent, and I suspect that may be a hand-sewn lapel buttonhole too.

Like everyone else, I love Braddock's green donegal suit, but I'm wondering whether it wouldn't have been even better with pleated trousers.

Thoughts?

Aaahhh those pants are pleated (single, forward), like all of my pants. The pleats begin 6cm below the waistband, that's why you don't see them in the pictures. I don't like flat fronts.

Piling on but I love these.

Question--it looks like the blue suit is totally unconstructed, but what about the tweed? Is that a roped shoulder?

Both shoulders are totally unconstructed, but there is a huge difference how to make them. The blue suit has a spalla camicia (with shirring), the green has a extended shoulder which is made as giro aperto (sorry, I don't know the English term for that, but that isn't a roped shoulder).

+1 very nice cloth.

Braddock, that green donegal is gonna get all the love, but I love the zig-zag knit with the gingham shirt.

Nice! Thanks for a combo idea Braddock!

Srsly one hell of a suit, Braddock. Makes up for the one you ripped.

Both of Braddock's suits are amazing.

Wow guys, thank you all for the compliments!

Who made that jacket?

Who made that jacket?

It's made by a Spanish tailor. Lopez Aragon

thanks, Kent Wang CMT the cloth is a vintage Lesser plain weave.

nice jacket

Some pretty basic stuff today, but it was all I could muster this morning....

History repeats itself - in accessorizing today's suit, I hewed very closely to how I accessorized it on its debut. I am having dinner this evening with a number of people from these parts in cyberspace, and thought that I might like to show off some of the latest swag to its best advantage. Let us hope that I was right to do so. I did take the suggestion that I match the flannel in the suit with an ancient madder tie, instead of the solid navy repp which I wore the first time.

Don, if you want to look green in your photos I won't stop you. I wasn't trying to mock you by neutralizing the colour balance. I'm going to pull that image down so the photo can be enjoyed in it's original state.

In regards to the outfit itself, I liked it, I was layering in a similar way yesterday.
