whnay.'s good taste thread - Page 207

 

I'm always amazed how many other Sci-Fi fans post here; is it mere coincidence that StyleForum shares the same "SF" abbreviation...?

 

I can't wait to see what Disney come up with for the new Star Wars movies.

 

 

 

Back to clothes, if I must, for one of my rare entries into this thread...

 

OK, more of a question than a fit pic--feel free to tell me this is the wrong place for this.

I am looking for another sportcoat to wear to work. I rarely have opportunity to wear a suit, but I do like to dress it up a bit, and have been wearing more sportcoats. I have been debating what color/pattern to look for for my next coat. I work in a fairly conservative environment (but nothing crazy), and would, hence my posting here, like this coat to be in Good Taste.

I currently have a solid navy, a brown herringbone tweed, and a tan/brown PoW check with light blue overcheck. Suggestions for coat number 4?

Please help me, oh tasteful ones!

what fabric is the navy?

note - i am not fully a tasteful one yet.

Casual friday. Tasteful?

The navy is a lightweight hopsack with patch pockets and metal (silver colored) buttons.

IMO, that shirt just shouldn't be paired with any type of sportcoat. More under a sweater or casual with the sleeves rolled up if at all.

HF - I think your tie and pocket square are at war with each other here.

Agreed, really great tie.

i would try then a more formal navy SC, like i am wearing today.

edmorel told me the same when i bought it. i think its correct. i was gonna throw a navy v-neck merino sweater on, but decided to try the SC.

thanks!

thanks.

Stitchy, for whatever reason (maybe I got too much sleep last night and I'm in an uncommonly good mood) I don't hate it. So, there's that.

I enjoy your bomb-throwing, o/o, especially when it's as subtle and comprehensive as this.

thanks! although i agree with ed, and slew, that a sweater probably would be better, i dont hate it as is either.

LOL! I guess he wanted to make his 1000th post with a bang.

Same suit as the last pic I posted, different everything else.
