HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III - Page 3193

Friday



Today

I like to believe that we are all part of the same universe.

That.. and a wish that maybe PT has the matching pants.

Seriously, both are awesome, and due respect to busting out the Isaia like that.. unreal.

 

Two great posts in one day; on fire! I'm not sure which one is better. :D

 

 

The "Shitty Watercolour" guy would be even more appropriate, given the setting... ;)

 

 

 

 

Monday:

 

 

Went shopping in the late afternoon after work, and bought a couple of pretty damn cool summery jackets: a sea-green DB with cream buttons from Loro Piana and a navy 3 patch from Zegna. Makes me yearn even more for some sunshine this year! The sea-green is a colour I haven't really worn before, but I think it will go rather well with with grey, white/beige, and navy trousers. Certainly, it will be fun to play with.

 

Also, I learnt about a new fabric. The Zegna jacket is 50% cotton, 50% canapa. Canapa, googling reveals, is a 60-30-10 cotton-cashmere-hemp blend, so I guess the overall jacket is 80% cotton, 15% cashmere, 5% hemp. You can definitely feel the cashmere and hemp in the blend; it gives the cotton a softer/smoother hand while simultaneously being a bit more open in feel. Very interesting fabric. EDIT: a bit more googling suggests that maybe canapa is actually just pure hemp; I'm not entirely sure. If so, it's interesting that it actually adds a bit of softness/smoothness to the blend (so much so that I believed my initial search result of it having cashmere in it). I expected it would add roughness, but it doesn't.

@SB - that friday fit is superb, even better with a beard.

@HF - excellent excellent.

Great look, as always, Kapp.

Haha good or bad maestro?
It has nothing to do with being quirky, in fact its far from it. With a three piece the tie has a tendency to become limp and lifeless under the vest, a tie bar adds a little extra dimension or texture to the tie, bringing it to life under the vest. There isn't a huge tie boner from any means in person, it just appears so because the picture is so close.

The tie is actually Breuer France for our store from last Spring, easily one of my favorite ties.
+1 on the good or bad?
Its really love or hate with some thing like this, glad you enjoy.

Just, wow.

Thanks

myhabit has a "brioni mens suit"

I love that its a suit and not a tuxedo and that fit is probably the worst i have ever seen. Thought it would get some laughs here

Justin, you need to post what are you wearing as in the socks shoe combo. I think you have some very cool items to show!

Haha my sootz are definitely not going to get a lot of love here. Very peacocky. Plus hard to get pictures taken of my fits

This is what I'm Rocking right now
