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

You’re absolutely right! Sadly the store I work for only has one length of ties and I just don’t think large knots look good on my stature. I’m open to suggestions how to perhaps combat it!

Perhaps not the best workaround, but you might just go about leaving the back blade laughably long (and tucked) to have the front blade hit closer to the waistline?
But, honestly, if not too onerous from a cost perspective, the ideal would be seeing about having the ties shortened.

I’m with Eric here. Either tie to get the front blade a good looking length and tuck the back blade, or get the tie shortened

Not sure where you’re located, but I’ve heard good things about this place in NYC for shortening ties.

I typically don’t like mixing two bold patterns, but wow I love this! Very well done. I think compliments on this outfit go without saying, so I’d like to bring my attention to the composition of these photos. The way you presented them is just, how do we say, PERFECT. It’s a fantastic aesthetic that might have to steal! Thank you for blessing my feed today

Than you very much for your nice comment.

Fair point! Sadly, I must wear my brand during work hours. So maybe I must have to skip ties entirely for a while until I hit my next growth spurt

Does your brand have an in house tailor?
You could probably have it shortened for $10

Have a nice day!

Here’s a new suit and a new look we had made! A dark brown herringbone with a knitted tie!

As for outfits previously posted, I really like the style of your jackets (lovely lapels). Again, the trousers could be wider, but the overall look is very pleasant.
As already remarked, you should definitely have the tie shortened, if you don't like a bigger knot.

Cuffs = 2" ??

Yeap, 2".

I've used Tie Crafters for years, both to clean ties and shorten them. They're great.

Spier & Mackay vs. Henry Poole
Besides the fact that the green jacket needs a good pressing (it’s been in storage for years), which look do you prefer?
The trousers and shirt are good ole Brooks Brothers.
EDIT: I absolutely LOVE both.

Both look good. I slightly prefer the blue jacket (just personal taste), but the sleeves are too long, whereas those on the green jackets are perfect.

I like the cut and fit of the navy better. The trousers look very odd to me. Are they part of a suit?

The blue jacket, because of its versatility, is quite possibly the garment I reach for the most in the closet. It can be dressed all the way down to a shawl cardigan and all the way up to blue blazer with no effort at all.

They are not part of a suit. They are just vintage cream trousers with a blue pinstripe from the Brooks Brothers University Shop.
