HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

[Prof. B. Bear]



No mate I am tall, 6 foot 2 to be exact. It is about 1.5cm from ideal length if I'm honest, but still covers ******. Also bear in mind I am a size 40 though, so depending on what you are mine may have some more length. I originally got the 38R and had to return it because it was too short in sleeves and body and small overall but the 40R was ok, I had the sleeves let down about 1.5cm and they are perfect but couldn't do much about the length. Where did you get the measurements?

I thought the measurement said it was 29.25". Maybe I'm just confused.

That would be from the bottom of the collar, not the whole length, maybe that is where you are getting confused. Most jacket lengths are measured from BOC down.

trying on the rugby tartan jacket
i stopped by ralph lauren today... and saw two tartan jackets hanging on the sale rack ...
at first i thought "oh what? i thought they don't take rugby returns at the regular ralph lauren store..."
thinking they were the same jacket as the one i got
but looked inside the jacket and saw the purple label
anyway
too bad it's getting warm in LA already...
not going to be able to wear this out til it gets "cold" again

im feeling this jacket, just curious as to what you would pair it with

im feeling this jacket, just curious as to what you would pair it with

no idea yet... still not sure whether i'm going to keep it or not
there's a slight speed bump action on the right shoulder and the chest feels too big
plus the sleeves are too long (working cuff buttons)
i'm going to run it by my tailor and see if it's worth tailoring or just return

and then there's also the problem of trying to match it with things in my closet
feel free to offer up suggestions

A pair of double monks in the same coulor would rock this outfit, but hey it's still the best !

i'm really liking the rugby elbow patch wool sweater

Spoiler: DIY

Felt elbow patches
(an experiment)

Nothing spectacular, but perhaps interesting for some.
After a failed search for suede elbow patches (I found an American supplier, but they don't ship to NL),
I thought felt might work as a subsitute for suede.

Prefab patches, bought for the sizes. I didn't like the shape (or material), so I changed it:

Not suffering from the cold weather? Great clothes, but would have weared monks.
