HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III - Page 2959

Nice, Stitches! Except for the [you know what to fill in]. It's a suit, right?

Decided to go with an orphaned suit jacket.

Vox or somebody got drunk at the last styfo christmas party, ask Acrid about it.

thanks. i assume you mean the non plain socks, lol.

it is a suit, yes.

As much as I am not an advocate of the use of orphaned suit jackets, you've done about as well with it as one could hope - the trousers and shoe pairing are way excellent. Good on you

Damn! Why is it that it's always Acrid that gets lucky . . .

I really gotta figure out a better way to take pictures. I just could not get good pics this morning--either the jacket or the shirt was totally washed out.

Suppose I will have to break down and setup the tripod and use a real camera...

This is nice. I would have preferred some lighter trousers, but on the whole, quite nice.

Is the jacket grey or brown?

Yes, my daughter wants them back. Suit=good.

DerekS: That tie is just no.

Recondite & Cantabrigian:

 

I reckon the pants ought to have a little more rise -- somewhere between 2.5 - 4 cm. 5 cm on the trousers would make them I think a 5cm lower buttoning point would have the jacket button right in the middle of my natural waist, and I tend to think that would make it obviously low. I'd rather have the button stance appear to bisect the jacket's length, which is about what I feel this one does.

 

Thanks.

 

SB:

 

Okay, I can see not liking the snail tie, but the snail tie with the matching pocket snail... that's next level.

another color edged square meant to pick up a minor color in the tie, complete with bad lighting, random brightness, and close up shot. so it goes. cheers.

well tell her she cant have them back. i am keeping them.

glad you like the suit.

^I don't like the "picking up" of the color from the tie. It's not my favorite strategy in general, but in particular in this case where you have a thin stripe from the tie matching a thin stripe on the PS, it's too similar. If it were the border of a floral pattern or something I'd like it more.

I covet this tie.
