Explorations of Questionable Taste: The Pink Sportcoat Thread

[JFWR]

So, I heard the used car business was really booming since the pandemic. How you guys finding it?

 

[BlueSteel]

This is stunning.

Thank you - you have taste and know what looks good, unlike certain others on here.

 

[BlueSteel]

I demur.

Nobody cares.

Fox Brothers - nothing really.

Scabal -

Darker than I am looking for 47/43/10 linen/wool/cotton blend, from the Amalfi book

This has more going on than I am looking for 55/45 silk/wool, 240G Nobility book

There are some very interesting cord colors, and herringbones, but neither are the topic at hand.

This is probably the least offensive relevant check. Not what I am looking for, but included as a community service. 55/45 silk/wool, 240G Nobility book

Honestly, I am a bit "fancied" out by Scabal's offerings and their website is a little rough - you cannot right click to open in a new tab, and the sort order of the output seems randomized.

Schofield and Smith

Nothing really pink, has a brick basketweave:

SWL-2000/1316: G&L 3509 & 3920 – Schofield & Smith

They get a thumbs up for seemingly having enough brains in their web site to populate "You may also like...." with similar things... which are all brick or red

T.R. Pescod models Attolini - if I looked as good as this guy in this outfit I would not be wasting my time on an internet forum with you dudes...lol!

 

[gimpwiz]

I thought we were supposed to get pink Attolini ties, not pink Attolini jackets?

Why choose when you can have both?

@circumspice I hope you and everyone else is well.

About a couple years ago under the “ongoing bespoke” thread I shared a pink jacket I commissioned from Dege and Skinner. Nick De’Ath has been the cutter for all of my commissions and he is very talented.

I’ll try and copy and paste some previous photos but if it doesn’t work, or if you care to see a few more photos, you can search my threads over there.

My first foray into a hopsack and it’s pretty neat. Nice fabric that I enjoy wearing. You may want to check it out.

I have plenty of the usual colors and wanted something offbeat and fun and this certainly fits the bill. This has been a load of fun to wear. Young man my opinion is go for it! Life is short, enjoy yourself!

Everyone have a great day.

Great jacket and you wear it well!

I wear my share of navy and brown attire also, but this is really visually interesting. Bespoke is perfect for something that does not have to appeal to the masses, like this piece.

Great shade of pink with the grey pants, solid all around. The patch pockets look a little heavy but maybe that is just lighting. I like them for functionality.

Perhaps a cry for help? What does the guy who needs nothing thinks he needs: A dusty rose or perhaps pink sportcoat.

This started off a year or so ago when I attempted to buy a length of a vintage VBC fabric from Il Vecchio Drappiere - think dusty rose with a white windowpane. Then, a day or two later, email: sorry, out of stock.

This thread is going to capture my inner dialogue as I go through various mills+merchants online offerings. I am not really looking for RTW as I tend to doubt there is much on offer in a cut that isn't as questionable in taste as the color may be.

A cry for help answered: Sink the Pink! Wonderful color, you will stand out from the grey smear.

I like this version.

This is what you’ve been looking for all this time!!!!
