whnay.'s good taste thread

That's blue fresco? I assume 520? It looks grey in the photo. Your shirt also looks grey striped, except the cuff, which looks blue. I assume everything here in real life is blue?

 

[TheFoo]

Yeah, both blue. The fresco is a slate blue, though.

It's deadstock Edwin Woodhouse.

Fancy.

I admit, I like they grey version. Though it's hard for me to imagine how all the blues work here IRL.

If we're talking about grey/blue fresco, a quick good taste question: I have bought a length of London Lounge PoW with the intention of using it for a blazersuit, but I have no ideas about trousers I would wear with it (picture courtesy of unfunded liability trend). What would be in good taste, or should this just be a suit? The check is quite large and has no overcheck.

 

[TheFoo]

I think that needs to stay a suit--a glen plaid's got to be a lot bigger and bolder for jacket use.

Also, whatever the photo looks like, my fresco is distinctly blue. In real life, it could not be confused for grey.

 

[DocHolliday]

Yes, suit.

 

[Slewfoot]

Agree that it needs to be a suit. Here's mine from Steed which I posted in the A&S Ex-Pat thread the other day.

Ha, I'm not going to judge myself. Why don't you tell me what you think? Did I ruin my credibility as a judge here?

Oh look! There's a man even smaller than Foo sitting behind him! Haha jk.

Great ensemble Foo. Love those lapels.

Well, your scale works for you, but I would want to use my own sugarbutch's Graybeard

scale:

Two Graybeards: Not just in good taste, but an example for all men who aspire to stylish dressing

One Graybeard: In good taste

Zero Graybeards: Thanks for the effort, but please try again

With the assumption that you're wearing a DB and not an SB with aircraft-carrier lapels, I would give you 1.5 Graybeards. Very nice.
