Victor, I have also been enjoying your posts. That grey sports coat is especially lovely - would you share details of the cloth?

Very pretty colours/patterns; I like.

I must admit that I'd prefer the suit with flapped pockets instead of patches though. That's one (presumably?) Italian influence I just don't get. Patches are a rustic sort of detail to my mind. Even though that suit isn't super-formal by any stretch of the imagination, it still feels to me that it's formal enough to take flaps instead. *shrug*

Thanks and sorry guys, collar was a deliberate choice.. I generally try to keep at least some harmony between the size of a collar and the size of the tie/knot. If the tie was wider, I absolutely agree this collar would have been too small, but given the tie is probably 2" at it's widest, pairing it with a larger collar woudl tend to lead to this effect:

which is not the look I am going for, lol

Coat is Ermenegildo Zegna

Point well taken. I do like that tie.

To all: Thank you for your understanding, patience and support! My respect for you, gentlemen!

Also glad to see you got the croc shoe memo today.

Like the shirt/tie and the colors but not a fan of the suit.

- Fit is off - lapels bowing/lifting off from chest is a RTW feature. Something about the shoulders is unflattering but I can't pinpoint it.

- Fabric looks like a lightweight flannel, which is my least favorite cloth. Does not have the body/drape of a solid worsted, nor does it have the rich plushness of a good flannel. Instead it looks flimsy and gauzy.

- The patch breast pocket and the curvy hip patch pockets are distractingly casual. I like patch pockets on suits but the effect should be more subtle.

Thank you!

And finally today: "All adults are few pioneers \ scout at heart"




I wish you all - good weekend!

^ Magnificent, Victor! Are these all pieces you personally own, or are you modeling them for fashion spreads? You have such a vast collection.

Victor it's really outstanding. Can you share the cam name and model on which you use?

kgmessier, Thank you!

This is my wardrobe. In fact, it is not very large.

I leave only a certain number of prophetic in the locker room, and sewing or buying new things - old seeding.

I also do audits every year, and then that a year has never dressed - get rid of them.

This helps save space in the closet.

In the rotation is usually about:

50 jackets (including suit couples)
15 vests,
50-60 pairs of pants,
About 100 pairs of shoes
60-70 shirts,
100 ties,
the same sock and breast pocket handkerchiefs,
20-30 cufflinks,
about 60 belts and suspenders
20-25 coats and cloaks,

Very fond of hats and scarves, these pieces of 50 items each.

Well, briefcases, handbags - 20 pieces is enough.


I try to stick to that amount.
And get rid of excess.

As a result, wardrobe quite compact, but everything you need in it.

I was just thinking that. If they are all yours you should post a pic of your closet. Place has to be nuts. EDIT: "About 100 pairs of shoes". Now I definitely need to see the closet.

House to quickly take off on a simple Canon.

A more extensive photo sessions take off my friends, whom I called in every day.

They shot on Canon 5D in general, sometimes on Canon 50D, 5D when it is not at hand.

I have a small dressing room, it is more convenient than a wardrobe.

A part of the seasonal things (in Russia strong differences of climate in the year) is stored in another apartment. Translate them as needed and seasonally.
