It’s odd to me that you read any of my posts as “asking for permission” to pick a particular fabric or as expressions of being so unsure of my decision I needed your “faith”. I am sorry that your electric blue trauma has led you to develop an outsized “won’t someone please think of the...- WhereNext

I live not far outside of Shanghai, but can’t help much. I was in The Refinery this weekend for the B&TAILOR trunk show and they had some interesting coat options (including MTM and MTO). A colleague of mine mentioned Icicle (I think that was the name), but have never been myself.- WhereNext

In all honesty: yes, I do. Having said that, it was reading these types of exchanges on SF and Ask Andy when I first started getting interested in clothes that were so important to me developing my sense of style. Years ago, I only thought of suits as plain grey and navy, or pinstripes...- WhereNext

At the risk of admitting that I broke a “codified rule” of clothing (do I get a phone call? Will a lawyer be appointed for me? I spent all my money on this suit so I cannot afford my own!), I did provide “a reason”: I liked the cloth and wanted a suit in it.- WhereNext

Oh, I’m not worried about it appearing outlandish/loud, at all (outlandish isn’t the vibe I normally go for, with some exceptions). I have “interview” suits sorted; everything else I get because I like it (I’m not required by my work to be in a suit), so I like to “explore the space” a little...- WhereNext

Yep, looked at that one, but didn’t like it as much. Definitely a more definitive “suiting” pattern, though. Also wanted to try Golden Fox, since I’m getting something else in Fox Air.- WhereNext

I mean, I guess that’s true, but the net result of my request is “don’t sew 2 buttons and buttonholes that will never be used anyway”. Shoulders, proportions, lapels, fronts, gorge, all aspects of the trousers, etc. are all still done as they normally do them. Mayyyyybe we’ll lower the buttoning...- WhereNext

I have no doubt that you are not only in the majority, but also more likely “correct” than me.- WhereNext

Yep, I would assume it was designed with sportcoats in mind, but it was such an interesting brown, a muted overall look, and a quite “suity” fabric, so I figured I’d have some giggles. I expect to be denied admission at the finest clubs and eateries.- WhereNext

Got measured this weekend by B&Tailor when they were in Shanghai. Measurements were very thorough; I kept things pretty simple by just basically telling them to make me a suit in the house style (with the exception that I’m getting a 1 button jacket). There was some…….confusion? Concern...- WhereNext

Dark navy Spring/Summer suit ordered. The Escorial cloth looks and feels amazing, so we’ll see how it performs when made up. I like a bold lining in general, but this one (like the one in my most recent overcoat) is pretty OTT even for me. But what is life without whimsy?- WhereNext

HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)
I mean, I would wear a suit in that pattern, but I think that would read to most people as a sportcoat, especially with the patch pockets.- WhereNext
