Thank you, that's right.

The line of the shoulders and arms costume repeated anatomical lines.

I have a thin neck, but very well developed trapezius muscle, which has a polygonal shape.

All these effects of training in weightlifting and powerlifting.

You know, my whole thing is that I never wear a necktie, and this threak does nothing but reinforce my position on that. Repeatedly.

[quote name="Holdfast" url="/forum/thread/234255/hof-what-are-you-wearing-right-now-part-iii/8480_20#post_4705172The best-fitting suit I've seen you post. Much better across the chest and torso than some of the others; no lapel bowing and proportions are pretty good.[/quote]

The proportions of jackets from Paul Stuart are different than those of my usual source (BB) - somewhat shorter, which may have some salutary effect on my appearance (I have a big chest and short-ish legs). The fact that the suit is new means that it also has a better chance to have been bought with my current proportions in mind - I've changed shape significantly over the last several years.

My employer blocks most photos, so I am most curious to see Spoo's tie for today - reactions are strong, and unusually critical, which piques my interest, certainly.

it's too bad. I got this tie in the winter and was really looking forward to wearing it. It's a Barba 7 fold linen. I agree it does not work with the fit, was really just trying to find the right context for it. Besides the fire, does anyone have suggestions for a better application? Thanks to Doc, Matt and the good doctor for your advice.

Sebago seem to me easier and more interesting ...

Something less saturated. I find very pale ties hard to work with in general. Maybe a stone cotton suit? Very light gray three piece?

At the risk of sounding unintentionally insulting, it might be more manageable if you covered a good portion of it with a vest or sweater.

That actually makes perfect sense re: saturation. I typically don't wear pale ties at all. I also think it would have been better served against a white shirt. I like the beige cotton suit idea, maybe I'll try it once more with that. Not sold on the grey, but thanks for the suggestion. You should know by now I don't get insulted, so don't worry.

It's not the color, it is the combination of pattern and color. I like paisleys more than just about anybody here, from what I recall, but that enormous paisley really only works in madder colors and wools. Big and light like that, and it is just an eyesore.

 

[DocHolliday]

I agree with you, personally, but if I step outside my box, I've seen Ralph employ that sort of tie in a cohesive fashion. I didn't like it, but it fit in its aesthetic.

Business as usual.

Did you wear this in the middle of the summer? Please tell me you live in Alaska, or else you deserve a medal.

Not quite Alaska... just sixty-degree weather.
