HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part II - Page 2397  

I never tire of this comparison


Well, I like to think that I put the PRO in crastination

1. i just quit it sucks

2. too bad, i got excited for a second on the watch, thought it may have been a tourbillon

1. I quit back on 03 to buy a G5 while I was still in school and said that I'd start again once I paid off the loan or turned 40. I paid the loan off about a year before I turned 40 but stuck out the last year and started again last May...now I'll quit when I'm 50

2. Stührling does make tourbillons but, as you can imagine, they're not as cheap as plain ole open-hearts...though they are far less expensive than higher-end brands. I've seen some Stührling tourbillons in the $300 to $400 range.

Because the suit has a plain heather look it might benefit from an end-on-end in more of a medium blue. The end-on-end gives a visual texture that is nice with any solid or heather suit.

For the pocket square, simply brown and cream might be a bit plain for that cloth. Look for brown and cream but with bits of muted burgundy/red, navy/teal and gold in the pattern for contrast. Those colors will add more personality but when muted they won't be garish.

This was a compliment by the way. I love the look, and not many people can rock it like you do. Just once I want to see you in an Olive, notched lapel suit with the sunglasses, tie bar, and ear piece. Seriously...it would be my inaugural avatar on this site.

not that im in any position to buy one, but a tourbillon for under 50 grand doesnt seem get my attention. what can i say im a crazy person

I didn't take it as an insult but I've received like 6 PM's over the last two weeks with similar comments To be honest I was toying with the idea of DTOing Agent Smith for the Celebrity challenge from two Friday's ago.


I really don't know a heck about watches and movements I usually just buy ones that 1) I like the style/design of and 2) I can afford

One day, baggy and loose will come back into style, and then I'll finally be ahead of the curve instead of miles behind it.


I like the uplift of all these blues working together.


Thanks psg.


Shirt is actually pale cream rather than white. Stark white would be too much much contrast, I agree. Perhaps true cream would be even better, but I dislike the stronger/more-yellowy creams against my skin colour.


Little red x's. The Holland Esq. designers must have been feeling funky that day. They're also at some of the pocket edges and the lapel buttonhole. The final buttonhole of the sleeve is done in yellow thread too. All very amusing.


Co-ordinating your tie to your cigarettes is next level.

Over here, there are vague noises about forcing cigarettes to be sold in plain unbranded cardboard containers. If that ever happens in the States, you better stock up on the brown ties!


You should consider also posting this in Manton's CBD WAYWRN thread; it certainly meets the criteria for that thread's discussion too IMO. Very nice.

if only i could watch shop based on those criteria, i would have a lot more $ in the bank.

Alas! The tobacco lobbies in this country are far to powerful for such a thing to ever happen...especially after they were finally forced to remove terms such as "Lights" and "Ultra Lights" from labels. Just wonder though how one would be able to tell if what they were getting were SIlk Cut of B&H Golds And if ever there was an excuse/insentive to buy more ties, especially brown ones...this one would certainly be a darn good one

I saw them there recently and am toying with picking up a pair of boots

You're another reliable one, HF.


Looking good, Upr (or do you prefer Crusty?). I think your PS is properly not matching...



Sir! Please refrain from speaking my thoughts before I have a chance to post them!

A bit of the tweed for the rainy day. I'm not sure what's going on with the waist in the first picture. The SC isn't tight, and although I do think it could stand a couple of alterations, I swear that this isn't how it looks typically. (Note the open quarters, Nii... )

You've already received a lot of commentary on this, but I don't think I've seen the one thing that immediately popped into my head upon seeing this pic: That is a jacket that just doesn't need a PS. It has so much visual interest that I think it's better without (though I can imagine this might not be to your taste).

Nice to have you back in the thread. I liked quite a lot of these, but this suit/shirt/tie/lack-of-PS combination is fantastic. I disagree with the shoes and lack of socks, but you knew that already.

Great combo.

Nice combining, SB. I know you issued a disclamier, but something is really off in the midsection of that SC.
