HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part II - Page 2462  

Trying to conjure up spring with linen and flowers while still making my peace with Old Man Winter's stubborn presence.

I have to go mingle with the unwashed masses of Traffic Court this afternoon.

So, I am in the New Orleans approved, and not too flashy, rig. BB vintage sack, Polo OCBD, vintage Elliot Gant tie and Florsheim Imperials in Shell.

Mike

As defendant or counsel?

I love the color on those longwings.

The square was picked very quickly, and without much thought - it apparently shows

Thanks, Org.

It is my ticket. However, being an attorney has its advantages in Traffic Court.

Mike

Indeed it does (thankfully, for my driving record), however, beware the "idiot as a client" syndrome!

If it was your box, Thomas, it would be harp.

Always, your posts show good taste and good fit. Today is especially good. The cut, fit, of the coat is clean with a nice silhouette.

Looking at several of your recent shots, I am going to make a suggestion.

Your jackets look odd. They have these closed quarters and look somewhat boxy. They also seem short, and have small lapels. Compounding this is low rise pants, where the waistline is clearly revealed by the high buttoning point of the jacket. It is making your legs look short, and your torso very long. That may very well be the way you are built, but there is no sense in wearing clothes that accentuate such. You would be served by clothes that offer a better balance.

Mike

LOL, I am not getting anywhere near the judge.

Edgar Allan Pwn - I think Mike hit it on the head with the fit suggestions. Also, the pocket square in this particular get-up doesn't add anything to the look. As for the tie, pattern aside, it seems to me that skinny ties like this only look good with either very fashion forward fits or retro fits....of which, yours is neither. Quite a step back from your last submission (with the orange tie and a great double FIH knot).

Talking like Crusty? You say that like it's a bad thing


This suit's fit was cleaned up quite a bit after I posted photos in this thread, and was soundly (and rightly) thrashed for boxiness pre-alterations. My local alterations tailor in lower Manhattan (Joseph, on Dey St.) did a very good job of "de-boxing" (like de-toxing, only sartorial).

This is a new one right out of the box
