HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III - Page 2542

 

Mr Pingson, yeah that's what I'm talking about right there.  Love that fishbone.

 

 

Can't live with all you handsome aesthetes and high rollers!  But we work with the tools we're given: here's me, still summery as it's about 33C today - one of the coolest days so far.  Thanks for the love on yesterday's grey linen; tried to get a better pic of its beige twin with a mirror shot in my daughter's room.  Makes me look about 4ft tall but at least it's a touch clearer.

 

(P.S. Shah - a connoisseur!  Yes, the carpet's from your neck of the woods - Tabriz to be precise, and my best one!)

mimo, the PS is out of control. You've managed to fold it awkwardly in the first picture and puff it poorly in the second. That silk calls for a puff, but look at Spoo's last post for a better example of the breed.

Suit - BB
Shirt - BB MTM
Tie - PRL
Cufflinks - Bel Vetro
Shoes - AE Seven

Ooooh, upr, that's a particularly nice combo.

SB makes a good point. The other issue is that you appear to have chosen to match your PS, socks, and contrast stitching. This is not a good idea.

On the other hand, the pics are much better.

I tried to get the color adjusted so the jacket is somewhere near the correct shade.

per some suggestions, i swapped the blue tie for black, and the spread collar, for OCBD. i think i like the other way better.
pls to excuse the neck hair, a trim is gravely needed.

Being a warm day I thought it appropriate to bust out the knit tie again. It looks fantastic against the pee yellow walls of my office bathroom.

Can't seem to leave the new chalkstripe suit alone these days.

Fucking hell, in stitches, you're really killin' it, seriously! Those shoes are awesome! Glad you got some new shoes--never really liked your old, brown, slip-on ones (no offence)--they're killer! Would be cool to get some full body shots! Keep it coming!

 

I can see why; it's a beauty, and I like the tie.  The shoes are great too, but I'm not sure about the soft suede with this suit.  Colour-wise it's nice, but the suit's soft stripe and flannel texture...for me it's begging for the contrast of hard-core, gleaming leather or shell.

Interesting, I originally thought the same thing but shell didn't work as well. I think the texture of the suede plays quite nicely with the depth of the fabric.

j00bear, I can't recall the fit you are referring to, but this one looks nice!
I agree with Alex, those shoes are lovely and make a great difference to previous outfits.
What are they?

why thanks! i still have the loafers, and wear them plenty.

also, i have had these shoes for almost a year, and have posted them here as well.

thanks, it was last week. same SC, but with a navy grenadine and white spread collar shirt.

shoes are carmina, punched cap toes, simpson last.

CD, something about this doesn't quite work right. The tie and square both seem bold and fighting for attention against the sedate background of the suit and shirt. Blue and orange go well together in theory, but they don't seem to be coming together quite right in this combo.

I'm also not a fan of knit ties with pure business suits, but that's more personal opinion.

Removing shoulder pads is easy peasy. I think you should try removing at least one layer of padding.
