Discuss: style of Kiton suit (pictures inside)

[Degendorff]

I love the colour and the size of the corduroy, love it as a suit, especially because of the patch pockets. And I have to agree with edmorel that a corduroy suit is very flexible. But something about the vest is not right. I think that the lapels look weird. If I wore it with a vest, I would wear an odd vest (I think of solids like navy, bottle green and burgundy or patterned with some kind of tartan).

That's good to know. If I ever see a person in an orange suit with a green vest strolling the streets of Hamburg I know it's you and I can say hello.

Gee. I thought the vest lapels were the most attractive feature.

I like it; although I'm not a tan kind of guy. I could see myself wearing it if it were a richer, darker brown.

I'd love to have that outfit. And I agree that the individual pieces could easily be used in other ensembles.

Here in San Francisco, people would not bat an eye if they saw one of us wearing this.

I would like it a lot if it was in a different colour.

Wenn, dann schon eher im Sachsenwald. Nichts für die City

I, too, have a three piece corduroy but it's not a Kiton. In fact, it's almost the same color but not quite as casual--it has hacking pockets, and a ticket pocket.

A classic case of overdoing it. Sorry I may be a slave of popular taste but you are going to look a bit of a dork wandering around in this suit in any setting. To be honest I'm not a fan of corduroy for anything other than pants. When there are so many fantastic tweeds and other interesting fabrics around for an individual jacket why the hell would anyone choose corduroy.

People in San Fran don't bat an eye at lots of things

It appears to be a perfect to watch Wes Anderson films in.

The picture seems to be warming the colour quite a bit.

Looks OK. I would wear something like that as a 2 pc, but not a 3.

 

[itsstillmatt]

I don't like the color, and I hate the vest.

I'd probably wear the jacket and pants separately until they got a bit ratty, at which point the suit as a whole would start to look good.

i think its cool, would like it much more if it was a darker color.
