HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

[FillW]

Fred Astaire in You'll Never Get Rich, 1941 (from Wikipedia)

Thank you FillW for an interesting link about button hole flowers and boutonnieres. But my primary question remains. How can I fasten a carnation as Fred Astaire did, pointing forward. Anyone that knows - or is it a forgotten knowledge?

I was going to try wearing a Blue Cornflower because we had them all over the place this summer but I never got around to getting my tailor to put the loop on my sport coats.

I should try that next to see the reaction I get. Haven't dressed up in over two months (bills etc.). I might see if the local florists have carnations this time of the year.

I like your cufflinks, most unusual. If you have some time, I wonder if you would care to take a pic of them on their own for me. Thanks

Fred another great fit! Just wondering tho'.... why is there an "EXIT" sign in your place? Is this decorative or functional?

Thanks very much. One door for coming in and another "EXIT" for leaving.

I think I've seen it a few times before, but I absolutely love that shirt. Deets?

So I've been stalking this thread for longer than I care to admit, observing(and admiring!) how you guys dress. It was getting to the point where I was feeling borderline creepy having never posted, so I figured Id say Hi and introduce myself. My name is Andrew and I just graduated from villanova and Ive been trying to mimic you guys for a while now. My closet isnt a sartorial wonderland like yours' are, but hopefully Ill get there eventually.

I just picked up a new light grey suit jacket and 3/4 coat so I was wondering what you guys thought. I didnt feel like taking out the dslr, so these are just ****** iphone pictures for now.







Im going to have the waist taken in on the jacket a little bit, and i think the sleeves of the coat lengthened slightly. Also disclaimer: these are from my sisters room.

It's hard to see properly with these pics, but you looking pretty smart there Mister. SC looks a little short - is it a long or regular. shoulder looks good on the SC. A good closeup of your collar and tie would be good too.

Definitely agree. This looks quite good from what I can see, minor quibbles aside (tad short, but nothing to worry about... Sleeves a tad short as well, and I'd nip the waist in a smidge).

n00bs take note, this is how to lurk and figure out how things should fit before starting 10 threads asking how your oversized JAB suits fit

Spoo, that tie is

Love the SC too. Very well done, sir.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback. The sc is a long but Im also 6'6"-7" so sometimes proper length can get tricky. DSLR pictures are forthcoming but the post needs to be approved by a moderator.

Also spoo, that tie is magisterial.
