HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part II - Page 2358  

post #35356 of 37077
Day Two of "Naked Came My Face" - still trying to get used to it.

Friday's suit was too loose and boxy (it's at the tailor's now, being adjusted - photos next week); yesterday's was by all accounts (including my own) too tight. Maybe today, the third try will be "just right" (certainly closer than the last two).

For your entertainment (or dissection - not that around here those two activities are mutually exclusive) . . .

[quote=flix;4208852]But could you or someone else please tell my, why the tie (has to?) do such a wave on your chest? Not only when sitting down, but also when standing?

This.

Spoo - fantastic.

PhatGuido - the first pic (lighting) doesn't do the fit justice...if #2 is closer to the true colors - love it.

A few people critiqued that tie, but I thought his tie was an excellent choice for the suit; the problem was that the shirt was - as you say - too close in scale to it. A microcheck shirt (with the same tie) would have worked better IMO and preferable to a different tie.

I really must see if I can dig up an old photo...

I think that's fair comment (emphasis mine). Still some little niggles, but a generally happy medium.

Spoo - is it just me, or are some of your photos looking really washed-out/over-exposed recently? It's kind of tricky to really appreciate what colours you've chosen. I recognise I do not speak froma position of having quality photos myself, but yours seem different recently?



Another gloriously sunny but cold day:


For anyone who read the discussion a couple of pages or so back about actual jacket length vs the degree of closed front influencing the appearance of length, this is one of the the RLPLs I mentioned that is actually exactly the same length as the brown plaid Polo that was appreciated at the weekend, and yet seems a bit longer. Looking at it more, this also has an unnecessarily/unflatteringly wide jacket skirt below the level of the button (perhaps caused by a long front?) which also adds bulk, which again is what makes it seem longer.

Interesting. I don't mind closed quarters, but perhaps in this case it might work against you, visually. If you're not against more open quarters, would you consider them for your next MTM?
