HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

[FillW]

Here's the second vintage bespoke three-piece I picked up before the holidays. This one was made for the same guy as the grey one from a couple of days ago, but 5 years earlier, in 1960. I think he was slightly heavier then as the trousers have more room in the seat - although this could reflect an the fact that this one is from before things got a bit sharper in the early to mid-60s. In any case, I am going to have the trousers altered. But otherwise, this is also great and the fabric is again wonderful: the first picture is most accurate for colour, but close up IRL it is a rich navy/mid-blue pinpoint. Worn today with a CT Black Label shirt and an Engineered Garments bow tie. Cufflinks (in the close-ups) were made by a jewelry designer in Edinburgh from old watch parts. The braces (suspenders for those from the USA) are also vintage 1960s silk from Countess Mara.

Looks good! Nice bow-tie too!

I wanted to avoid buying any more RTW jackets, but sales have started and after going through every single jacket in my habitual department store, I ended up getting this unlined, unstructured, unpadded POW, from a pretty well known Spanish local brand (Mirto). Thought it was rather nice and fits well (needs sleeve length and sleeve opening width altered, I guess I'll post a full pic later in the afternoon).

Yeah, I like it! I might do the same (check out the sales etc.) for some casual sport coats. I want to get a brown and maybe a grey windowpane SC.

I agree to an extent... Green Sub: Yes, too casual. However, a blue face, or platinum, gold, stainless, etc. I think would work.

Really not feeling today's fit but figured I would still post to perhaps get some helpful feedback. I think the worst part is the PS which felt like it should work but seems kind of washed out and useless in the picture. I actually think this PS might have worked with yesterday's outfit. Tie is Hober grenadine, lighter color IRL, dimple is not so great

Edit: Bonus shoe shot:

actually, i like more subdued and muted PSs like that, both in color and texture, much more than the brighter ones.

^^^ I think a brown pocket square with pin dots, just to counter the stripes in the shirt, would have made this look great. I still like the concept though.

Quote: Don't reduce the leg opening! i see Good proportions. Considerable full cut trousers. Classic colors. Well done, but don't forget to wear also a BELT

Pants drape is not good, FWIW its was really windy.
Shoulder fit is not perfect, too... The problems of RTW.

The lenght of trousers is not correct. They are also too slim fit. Slim fit is barely acceptable with jeans, but with wool trousers you cannot stand it.

Thought it was rather nice, and fits well (needs sleeve length and sleeve tapering altered, I guess I'll post a full pic later in the afternoon).

Really not trying to be a hater here, I do generally like your stuff, but this one is just way too much for me. I would have liked it more with a more reserved shirt and tie.

It's way too much for me too. I actually left home with my navy DB blazer today. Just couldn't resist the urge to wear my new acquisition.
