HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III - Page 3016

 

 The jacket looks a little short. IMO

Not grey,(non-hard science coming->) but I can see how somebody might perceive it (or refer to it) as grey.

first off, do it. hobers are the bomb.

i think the grenadines are 80, and its like an extra 30 for 6 fold. i not sure i would go 6 fold on the grossa though, that would be a really thick tie, would think it would certainly have to be unlined. ask david.

Agreed, would be very thick. I don't have a Hober grenadine, but I do have a Kent Wang grenadine, which is just a normal 3-fold, and it's already a bit thicker than I'd like. I can't imagine someone making one 6-fold.

Would you guys recommend unlined with rolled edges on a grenadine?

Claghorn: This is my favorite of your looks -- I kind of like the (to me) slightly counterintuitive pairing of the grenadine tie and spread collar shirt with the jacket. It's a kind of cool variation on the slightly more obvious knit/OCBD combo. I think I like it because everything's so refined in texture, and because the colors are right for each other.

 

stitches: That jacket is really great -- a lovely cut, the kind of three-button that I really like -- and it looks great with that tie and those trousers. If you had R Diaz's or Claghorn's shirt, then you'd be knocking it out of the park.

 

Also, I like your socks.
 

i love it. it makes the tip of the tie kind of see through, and some think that is weird, but i think its awesome. and the rolled edge is DO. IT!


thanks. apparently i am an idiot for not going solid blue with this. will try again next week.

Thanks for the kind words! To make things weirder, the spread collared shirt is oxford cloth.

 

As far as folds on grenadines. The tie I'm wearing is a six fold fina (or picolla) from Panta and it's unlined. I'm waiting on an experimental tie from Hober which will be unlined picolla 4 fold. It'll be really delicate...I've got no idea how it'll drape, but it'll be interesting. Getting a second more traditional lined picolla grenadine as well.
 

My favorite sport coat; not my favorite Tie....

The shoes are Alfred Sargent Exclusive and the shirt is Eton,however the stripes are a deep navy almost black, Not as blue as they appear in the photo.

Stitchy, I agree that the shirt is oversaturated, but I'd still give you one Graybeard™

I have a thinly lined, multifold, untipped grenadine and a traditionally lined, three-fold, self-tipped grenadine. I prefer the latter. Grenadines in particular do not seem to benefit from all of the iGent-treasured features.

Sometimes the iPhone takes a wonderful picture. Today, however, not so much. Suit is olive, and hank does not glow in the dark...

3 piece POW, 7 fold Navy Twill tie, T&A PS, Black Wholecut shoes.

Very nice.

LilacCords--this is very nice. My only criticism would be the mixing of modes here--more casual three-patch coat, but then adding a vest.

Otherwise, this is quite nice.
