HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part II

I'm only adding this because I'm wearing Birkenstocks, a thong, and a cowboy hat so I have nothing substantive to add. Sorry so blurry, but really who cares? You can feel it emitting sexual energy even though you can't really see it

That said, every time I see your outfits, I think how much better you'd look without the tattoo. I can't help it, but even if I see the nicest outfit ever, the tattoo will ruin the view. Sorry, but I'm being frank and would hope for a response. I'm sure others might have other opinions (lately I'm seeing many advertisements for bespoke or upper-end clothing with the models showing tattoos under their beautiful clothing), and I'd like to hear them... Also, do you mind sharing the story of this tattoo? Why'd you get it? What's the significance?

This comment is a little ridiculous. It would be like saying to someone oh I really like your style and your clothes fit perfectly but I dont like your face so it ruins it for me. Maybe Im biased because I have quite a large portion of my body covered in tattoos but still, it seems like a silly comment to make on his clothing.

Well if you all started it, you can find me on one of these 8 or 9 months of the year:

I know your pain. 10 years ago I got sick of it, sold my snow shovel and moved to FL! Hakuna Matata!

It takes balls of steel to wear this bad boy....... Thanks, Spooz. I like this somewhat subdued look today....even the purple. Just hope Crusty doesn't catch me.

Mike
Not only did little Ralphie Lifshutz make that suit out of his bubbe's couch, but that couch was the pride of Moshulu Parkway, in da Bronnix. (We'll assume, with those lapels, that either you bought this masterpiece of the tailor's art a while ago, or you are not the first owner.) As for the metal content of your private parts, for wearing that plaid, I'd say you're beyond steel - somewhere in the titanium range . . . As for complimenting someone on wearing purple - you are so busted . . .

Oh, Puerto Rico how I miss thee....

Nice to see you back, oh, Spoo-meister, but yes, the weather in the US must come as quite a shock after the tropical pleasures of Puerto Rico, but, why should we suffer alone?

This is a great skill to develop. I learned many years ago, and it comes in handy often.

Bleachboy - glasses look ok. Maybe not too arty/fashiony but they look proportionally ok for your face Pieceofsand - Sportscoat looks good NewYorkRanger - besides being envious of the weather, that final SC look is really nice. Great color combo although somehow it seems way overdressed for a resort. Still, I love the look. Gnatty - What kind of bike is that? The one with the spring seat. niidawg3 - nice combo, I think it got lost in the shuffle of other pics but I'm taking notes! someotherstyle - +1 to what shirt is that?

Pre SF, I wouldn't have cared, but now I lie awake at night worrying about shoulder padding. I am only slightly kidding. Anything one can do about that, economically?
Soooooo true. I have never been so concerned about how my clothes fit until learning from the gents here. Thank you SF... Thank you!

I was wondering the same thing as I usually only leave the bottom undone on a 3 button. Is this not the way?

Fair enough. I was mainly just opining that it distracts from the clothing. But I shall desist.

I havent done a multi quote in a bit...

This sucks. The sound of the chipping ice you heard was me, grunting it out while you sat cozy in your catbird seat waiting for the doorman to open the door. You spoiled city dwellers.

All in all not that dominant than the ones before--whether this is good or not for you I can't say. Not "cool" by itself because it's more on the softer side. Color is fine.

This is a SC. It has patch pockets. A (true) blazer has flap pockets, is dark navy and has six golden buttons in the double breasted form and three or four buttons (I forgot) on each sleeve or three buttons + four on each sleeve in the single breasted form. Other colors are possible: black, camel, bordeaux, dark green. Other buttons are possible: mother of pearl, vitreous enamel. Anything else is probably a SC.

I have very limited knowledge on fits. What should to be done? Shoulders okay? Size needs taken in? Chest okay? Waist too big?

Could it be that this SC is one or two sizes too small for you? Do you feel comfortable when moving around with your arms? Does the SC move with your arms?
