Excellent, P! A bit more dimple in the tie and it would be amazing.

Where do you get those camo double monks???

I'm not sure where the monks themselves have come from, but possibly Septieme Largeur (http://www.septiemelargeur.fr/rennan--forme-206-naturel-a-patiner-p17875-fr.html), They do their own custom patinas of course, but also sell the plain crust shoes if you want to arrange your own, so I think that must be it.

I've seen a picture of camouflaged monks like that by Alexander Nurulaeff of "Dandy Shoe Care" in Rome (http://www.dandyshoecare.it). He does all sorts of custom patina stuff, but I think this is one of his signature things, called "Urban Jungle" or something. Hang on...let me see....yep, here it is: http://www.theshoesnobblog.com/2012/08/todays-favorites-camouflage-patina-by.html

I've not had anything from him myself although I did make some enquiries. Very responsive and helpful guy, and if you don't like this, his portfolio is pretty impressive.


I really, really love this from top to toe. Your crazy roped shoulders make me smile. Thank you, individuality makes the world a better place.



On the flip side of that, funeral today, so black tie, no bright socks or coloured laces, and slip-on monks for easy divestment at the mosque.

I like it, however, I think with those shoulders, you need to make a wider lapel.

I believe this is the same suit?

Oh I really dislike that picture. I was hungover and I'd been wearing the suit the night before and it certainly shows. Yep it's the same suit. I have narrowed the lapels since the picture without my glasses on. I'm actually thinking of making it a 3 button rather than a 2 roll 3.

I thought the way he uses the scarf under the blazer looks awesome. Will try that someday.

Hehe yes, they are fitted, but the wrinkles are due to the fact that I'm to lazy to press my trousers. They are as I said very fitted, but they are definately not limiting or snug.

IMHO, Stillig, that falls down just the wrong side of the dandy / over-sprezzed divide. I think it's the scarf that just tips it over, because the jacket is great. And it's usually pretty safe to say that if Hampton likes it, it's probably wrong in some way!
