Very pretty square!







First day in a LONG time I could go outside without some sort of outerwear. Brisk, but sunny (though I wouldn't have wanted to stay outside for more than five minutes or so). The colder (and possibly snowy) weather is forecast to return by Sunday though...

I thought it was interesting how he does sort of "old fashioned" huge peaked lapels, stuffy and formal, but then a casual silk knit tie.

Breaking in some old-school Hanovers today. Tie is rust in person.

Doc, I can't get over how nice your silhouettes are! and those lapel rolls!

is it something about bespoke, certain makers/brands, your body type, right kind of pressing?

A fact which doesn't make the square look worse. - Now that I'm back in the mood:

Jacket in Bateman Ogden Glenhunt Homespun tweed, shirt in light blue Alumo Soprano twill, hand printed silk twill hank, handknit cashmere scarf, trousers in Porter & Harding heavy (and I mean it) dark red corduroy, wool hose, norwegian derbies in oxblood calf (via Operation Paprika), gloves in unlined peccary, OneWatch*. - *for now

It ain't bespoke, as most of it's been bought on the cheap. The only secret I can think to share is that I make sure to have the lapels pressed open, rather than flat, and generally avoid fused coats and their limp lapels. But thanks for the kind words.

That's alarming. What am I missing? I sense a forthcoming appearance in Looks Gone Wrong.

Thanks, Baron. It's a Caruso, and it's really a phony. It's cashmere and more like a sweater than a coat. No shoulder padding and no lining, except for the sleeves.
