HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III - Page 2466
Quite boring ensemble today. Tried to do something that would look solid from a distance while not being solid at all.
Not enough contrast between jacket and pants, I know. Need to get me some lighter flannels.
Jacket = Dustin
Shirt = Charles Tyrwhitt
Tie = Lester
PS = Rubinacci
Trousers = Emidio Tucci
Socks = God knows
Shoes = Carmina

I hope the shah (and other SW&D guys) continue posting their more MC/suited looks in here; I enjoy seeing how they play around with forms and styles. Like black_umbrella, I don't really think there's a need (or justification) to support those aesthetic experiments with a pseudo-scientific or architectural foundation, but if it helps them with the experimentation process I don't see the harm in it. They'll have to forgive me if I interpret their looks based on whether I like or am intrigued by the end result rather the stated method/theory behind the choices. But I like seeing their looks in here.
Anyway, partly inspired by the entertaining (largely for the wrong reasons) turquiose tie thread, I thought I'd dig this one out of my own wardrobe:

"Lovin' yesterday's jacket. You've mentioned your wardrobe isn't expensive, who makes it?"
Just some British vintage wasn't expensive as well

Today's stuff
I could be wrong, but in all of your fit pics your hands are in your pockets the sleeves always tend to ride up and bunch. It seems like the sleeve length is off, or something is going on with your sleeves.
It looks easy.
notice the perfect sharp triangle of the tie tip being softened up by the rounder 90 degree angle of the left pant knee and bringing the angular aesthetic up through the left arm? I count 10 lines with 5 being sharp and 5 being soft and rounded, perfect sharp to round ratio.

Rainy day in Paris, summer is definitely over

I think I like it.
Would need to see the whole thing together to get a feel for the overall look.

OK, so I see your point here and I agree, but the thing is if you're going to do this, reaaaallllly large lines divorce the actual flow of the clothing from larger posture stuff that have nothing to do with the clothing. It's just sloppy thinking and it does annoy me.
edit - also, I was grading when I wrote that post above and was angry at another form of sloppy thinking, so I may have done some anger transference there...
Quit apologizing. You pointed at a steaming pile of bullshit and called it bullshit. More important, you gave me a good laugh in the process. Your graph was all kinds of excellent.
