HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part II - Page 2429  

I don't know where you are, but it is not Seersucker weather just yet...not even in NOLA. I am sure there will be a Seersucker/Summer Suit challenge down the road.

Mike

the rolex MAKES the outfit work (and your screen name).

I envy your weather.

No man, you hit it on the head. It really is all wrong ...baggy jacket, baggy pants highlighted by tiny little shoes and the ps comes out of nowhere....OD/OT has MUCH better fits than this that, even with his loose fitting style, come across well put together and, I assume, fit his personality and taste. This is just not one of them.

Fred, on the other hand, KILLED it! Bravo and good luck with the kitchen upgrade.

^I think Navi needs it more - please PM him for his address.


^I really like this HF. Great fit, nice colors and patterns. Definitely in line with some of your better looks.


^looks like there may be an issue with the button placement, but otherwise great look and nice fit.



^Nice, Spoo. Love the fit and deceivingly subdued palate. Also, the cuffs are


^AS - the color palate is similar to what I'd consider my gold standard - charcoal suit, white shirt, navy tie, but I think the fit needs a little work. Maybe a little less break and slim the trouser leg slightly below the knee and then a tad more shape in the waist of the coat (it actually looks like it may be one size too big?)


^This suit is great every time you post- buttons seem a lil close together but that's more of a nit and probably something that'd go unnoticed by 99% IRL.


in stitches overall fit of suit is pretty good. looks like its a little roomy in the chest, but otherwise pretty clean. Sleeve length looks fine to me, but I don't like a too short sleeve and maybe a little less break in the trous, but kind of hard to tell.


^Damn Fred - I love that suit and tie combo!


+1 - agree with this statement. It also made me lol.



^TWD - I feel like many of the fits you post (particularly the coats) could use a little more shape in the waist/body. You appear to have a long torso and without shape in the coat they just appear boxy and kind of hang there lifeless. By way of example, it appears Spoo has a long torso, but the way his coats are tailored and nipped at the waist really help downplay that length (if that makes any sense). Just my .02.

@ NDW:

I appreciate the feedback and I think it's warranted. I will stick to my preference for hard three button jackets but I have had a few to the tailors for nipping at the waist (not this one ... yet!) and they usually come back better for it.

I don't have an issue with the hard three button, and it seems to work for your frame, but I think nipping the waist would really elevate the whole look and markedly improve the fit. If you remember to, please post a before and after comparison once you get it tailored. Also, jealous that it is warm enough to wear seersucker where you are...

Thanks for the comments. You're right..it all needs work. I dress casual every day, so I'm a noob at all of this. I am determined.


Might wear this instead Shirt courtesy of B&S. Thanks, Roguls.

Looks out window.....sunny sky, high of 79, humidity of around 85%.....and I am in a flannel DB.

That is better, lose the Dad jeans.
