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

[An Acute Style]

I’m with Shoogs but for full disclosure I dislike those mincey Belgians even more than I do bit loafers. Tweeds need some hefty brogues!

On the upside, although I sometimes think you over reach with pattern combos, the choices of the tie and waistcoat to pick out the colours of the check in the jacket works really well here, and the unconventional colour of the strides still provides a solid yet complimentary base so we’ll done there. Dark brown calf or suede brogues would have been perfect.

No bit loafers or Belgians. You're a hard man to please. What are your feelings about flip flops?

Private school. What’s the benefit of silk-cotton pants?

The weather is a bit warmer than expected for mid-October in NYC, and, as today marks yet another anniversary of my birth, I am dressed for a festive dinner out this evening. I had hoped to wear a three-piece suit, but the weather is a bit too mild for the extra layer of clothing, so I've opted for the next best thing, my navy double-breasted suit. As it's a festive occasion, I've opted for brightly colored accessories, adding what Diana Vreeland might call a needed dash of vulgarity. Vulgar or not, that's what I've chosen to wear.

Suit - Paul Stuart
Shirt - Hilditch & Key
Tie - Charvet
Cufflinks - The Persian Shop, NYC
Braces - New & Lingwood
Pocket square - Alain Figaret
Shoes - Paul Stuart house brand

In addition, a few "lifestyle" shots from dinner - Marea, 240 Central Park South

Happy belated birthday!

The weather in NYC has remained sunny, and seasonably cool, such that I felt the need for tweed today. This evening, I'm attending an event at the Asia Society, one for which tweed would be more than appropriate. As it happened, I also had three errands relating to my copious reserves of personal vanity to do this afternoon - one, to have resized a bowler hat, a gift that I received from a friend downsizing his living quarters in the UK; two, a fitting for a new sports jacket from Paul Stuart's outlet store on Madison Avenue (results to be had in about two weeks), and three, the framers called to say that my portrait had been framed and was ready for pickup.

I will wear the bowler in cooler weather; the jacket will be featured in a later post, and I've included a photo of the framed portrait in its place in my apartment.

Today's attire, then . . .

Sport jacket - New & Lingwood
Shirt - Harvie & Hudson
Tie - Andrew's Ties
Cufflinks - Tyrwhitt
Pocket square - Ashear
Trousers and shoes - Paul Stuart

Mr. Crust, I do like the pattern of that N&L jacket; however, from the posted pics it does appear the fit at the button point is too snug. Perhaps time to have a tailor let that one out a bit?
