HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

[F. Corbera]



That sparks a memory, if you'll pardon the pun... I was once on duty in the ER, and someone came in with a cap busted in their ass. No, I mean that literally. They had (several) deodorant can caps shoved right up in there, couldn't get them out, left them there for days(!) and then started to get some pretty serious constipation. Not my patient, thankfully. From memory, forceps failed as he was spasming, so he got passed to the surgeons to remove them under anaesthesia... the things people do for kicks...

I wonder what the StyleForvm username of that patient is.

^ I believe I can recall a thread discussing how to remove deodorant stains, but I hope that was about stains from deodorant, rather than stains to the deodorant cap.

Yeah, that one stuck in the memory! Not quite the worst "foreign body" story I've got, but the other one is just really sad & fucked-up. Yeah, I know that one is too, but it's nowhere near really, and at least it had a good eventual outcome, whereas the other one doesn't so I don't think it would be right to tell it.

Yes, I'm a tease.

Ouchy.... Sounds ominous...

Bit of a lighter tweed for today. Trousers are a mess.

I want to thank Doc for trusting us all with evidence of what must have been a very dark and embarrassing episode in his psychosexual history. I might suggest in future that, if he wishes stimulation from that particular orifice, that he use instruments that are non-breakable, flexible, washable, and that are provided with handles for easy removal.

One hopes that he does not have a photo of Richard Gere and his gerbil in a similar situation - unless the gerbil is wearing Tom Ford, at which point we'd all be interested in seeing it.

OTT (over the top)..... definitely
Stylish.... No
Classy.... No

Yes Angina, monograms should be inside your shirt collar or under it, not where everyone can see it. A monogram is meant so the clothing item can be identified as yours after being sent for a wash. It is definitely not stylish and almost as crass as leaving the manufacturers label tacked to your jacket's left sleeve when wearing the jacket.

My first ever post here on Styleforum, hope I get this right.
If the thing with the image viewing doesn't work, what site should I use?


I am a newbie when it comes to suits and classic clothing in general, but I love it.
In the picture is my first suit, bespoke from Hong Kong (as bespoke as it gets at 2400 HK$).It is a little wrinkly since this photo was taken the first day I got home, after having it in my bag for 15 hours on the way home.
What do you think of it?

Edit: the shoes are vintage, probably Florsheim cordovan, same as in my profile pic.

Pretty good. We've certainly seen worse debuts (including mine...). Don't love the shirt collar; wish it were more spread and the points were tucked under the lapels. Speaking of which, the lapel width is on the narrow side of classic.

Loving this tie.

The tie color and fabric is wonderful.
The first pic foreshadows the snow that will soon come to Michigan. Nice overcoat--a sporty length.

I agree the lapels are on the skinny side. However, this is not a sin since he is so skinny. The narrow lapels complement the thin sleeves and the slim pants. However, to the OP, do note this exaggerates your tall, skinny features. If that's what you're looking for then power to you. However, some wider lapels may downplay your thin, tall frame a bit and perhaps give you more of a V down to your torso. This would be ideal.

I agree that the collar should be more spread for your body/neck. Just make sure that you keep a rather high collar as your neck seems to be quite long.

Lastly, and it might be the angle of the photo, but your shoes seem to be a bit blubby for the pants. Again, you appear quite skinny and the pants don't look too trim to me, but if that is the leg opening you're going to stick to I'd suggest a sleeker last.

Thanks, critique is always helpful.
I am going to buy a shirt that goes better with my suit and my neck but right now that's what I have, it's the only real dress shirt that I own.
I am probably going to buy some shoes that goes better with the outfit too, maybe chestnut oxfords in a pretty "slim" last.
