HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III - Page 2628

It's not a great pic, or pose for assessing fit. But your shirt collar is definitely too big and I am pretty sure the jacket fit is very off. And come on, you know you are posing for a pic for this forum and you are looking in a mirror...did it not occur to you to fix your tie knot? That said, I like the look of the outfit and you would look quite polished if the fit were better. Good luck, padawan.

Second go at the heavy wool tie. Same tie, different color. I did a better job with the shirt (which is more of a commentary on my previous choice than this one). This whole wool tie thing takes some figuring out (knots and texture).

 

^ That suit seems a bit too business-y for a wool tie, IMO. If you have tweed sportcoats, that's the perfect tie.

 

 

 

^ Wonderful.

i dont recall the other, but this seems quite harmonious.

It's an odd jacket, but yeah, I see what you mean about mismatching levels of formality. It's one of two jackets I own that have some sort of orange...uhh...what do you call small amounts of color in clothes? As far as tweed. wouldn't that be too many rough textures?

 

It was much less harmonious, mostly because of a poor choice of shirt.

Fuck yeah! I think of all the saved pictures, I have saved Spoo the most and Victor second. Quite happy to know it isn't entirely one way.

If it's an odd jacket it kinda looks like an orphaned suit jacket...

Trying out new tweed MTM SC. I'm on vacation so I took pic @ home, where lighting sucks, camera is worse and I have no space to move; so please excuse the poor quality. Looks like someone else wanted to appear in the picture, too

It was steeply discounted, so to be honest, it wouldn't surprise me.

^^ RDiaz - dont love it with those pants, but i like the SC, and it seems to fit you very well ^^

 Thanks  It fits rather well regarding balance and overall body shape, and I'm happy as I'm definately making progress in how MTM fits with this tailor. If armholes were just a bit higher and shoulders softer / more sloped... they are quite restricting right now, and look a bit awkward when I move. Hope that will be fixed next time. Also, I asked for man-sized 11cm lapels and the jacket came with 9 cm ones; it looks like there was some misunderstanding between the tailor and the factory. I accepted it, anyways.

Also, just ordered a pair of light brown flannel trousers (from the same tailor) to go with it

the karate joo!




always wore this SC with a white shirt, some of you suggested blue, and OCBD, so here it is.

full, fit pic. my knee is slightly bend, causing the ripple in the left leg.

In those first two pictures there appears to be some serious bowing in the lapels. The jacket might be too small.

The length of this jacket works really well for you-- It's a little shorter than yours others, right?
