A new grey donegal jacket and my favourite green donegal jacket:

deets on jacket?

^ Nice, but try uncurling the shirt's collar points. Using just your fingers, curl them a bit upwards, they'll spring back a little but not to the current claw like status. Works pretty well IME. Of course unless you prefer them like that, in which case ignore

great tip.

Nothing too experimental today.

Rebellious collar

deets on tie/sc/shoes please.

Really like the shoulders on that sc.

I never do a white tshirt but jeans and a white OCBD is my go to for dive bars.

I actually think the jeans + white t-shirt combo can be the most flattering look there is if done right. Problem is its probably also the most difficult look to pull off as one imperfection will ruin everything.

I know the collar gap is pretty big here; I think I might sew a bit together at the back, if possible to make it go unnoticed!

What do you guys think? Is this look incongruous? What should I wear this with? (This is a must-not-burn item, as it's the warmest thing man has created!) Jacket is a purple-y navy.

...And, with more than a bit of trepidation, and what I know you're all looking forward too (if only to enjoy ripping it to pieces! ),

Spoiler: here's what I picked up from being hemmed:

​

Feel free to give an absolutely honest critique on the jeans fit (although be aware that the specific shirt & jacket are just what I happened to be wearing anyway, though I did swap the shoes for a more appropriate boot). Whether it's deemed good or bad, this will be my last experiment trying to get a pair of jeans that looks OK. From my position of ignorance, I will say that I prefer how this pair looks in the mirror to any of the other attempts I've made, and actually, they feel a hell of a lot more comfortable to wear around the waist/thigh, which is quite strange considering they both sit lower and are heavier/stiffer & more tapered than previous pairs. They've actually naturally settled even a touch lower since I took the photos (maybe about half an inch or so further down), but I can't be bothered to retake the pics.

Spoiler: Just for you...

No shirt (and obviously the v-neck is untucked), I'm not wearing a belt (so the jeans are sitting as low as physically possible), and you can see roughly how much lower they are (maybe 1") by the hem roll.

Spoiler: And standing up pic

Any better or is there really no hope?

BTW, I assure you the scarf placement in the photo was entirely accidental but looking at it in light of the comments upthread, I'm forced to wonder whether my subconscious mind was fearful enough of further undue "exposure" to unconsciously lay it somewhat discreetly...

While there are lots of great suggestions prior to this post, please allow me to congratulate you on the marked improvement. Well done, Doctor!

This + some sort of shirt (white/off-white/lilac, maybe?) = teh awesome wins! (I do find the jeans a tad long.)

They're both from Marks & Spencer! The dark green one is from last year and they no longer sell it unfortunately.

The grey one is from this year and you can order it online below. They're both Moon fabric and very well made for the money, I'd pay twice what they're sold for and still think it was good value

You can pick some lovely stuff up in good old Marks and Sparks.
