Bold windowpane suit on the Sartorialist

gefinzi · Nov 21, 2007

I had a suit made of what I'm sure is the same fabric...Escorial wool. It's bold but the colors are wonderful, the wool feels like cashmere but with more sturdiness and less sponginess.

I was about to say he deserves and e-smack for not wearing socks, but it turns out he is wearing socks.

I'll give him a free pass.

Luca is a great guy and looks terrific in the picture. It is one of the few good things on the Sartorialist since the Barbera photo. I could do without the socks.

Looks awesome but I don't think I'd have the cojones to wear this suit to work...

Don't like the belt with the suit at all. With odd pants and sport coat maybe, but not here

Terrific suit, ugly belt. That suit would be much better with braces.

I think one should tone down the accesories with a suit that strong but that's just me.

He needs to buy some edge dressing.

When I wear my suit of the same fabric I typically wear a white shirt, dark green tie, solid gray socks, and dark brown shoes. The windowpane is bold enought by itself. With that said, I like his socks.

not a fan of his styling at all. I guess the quality is good, but other than that I don`t see much I like.

The_Foxx · Nov 21, 2007

wow-- I'd consider that bold for a sportcoat, but pretty out there for a suit. Makes me wonder if that gentleman (or the gent who had a suit made up in the same cloth) are at odds with the Batman.

i guess this is his fun suit and not his work suit unless he is a circus conductor. still, i appreciate his bold sense of style.

I dunno, it's interesting, I'll grant you that, and maybe even fun, but he looks to be trying awfully hard, and it isn't exactly what I'd call "elegant".

I kind of like the material, but not the cut of the suit or the accessories. With such a busy fabric, as has been mentioned above, simplicity would probably be more elegant.

itsstillmatt · Nov 21, 2007

I get the dislike of the accessories, but I am failing to understand what is not pleasing about the cut. Any comments?

Personally, I think that the shirt, tie, suit and shoes are perfect. I get so tired of seeing one large knotted dark tie after another and his combo is both interesting and harmonious.
