TBH, that makes no sense to me whatsoever. Show me the rule book.

i actually agree with you on this.

Yes, I need some new colar stays for sure. This suit was the first suit I purchased.. Paid more in alterations than the suit but being the sole provider of a family of five you gotta do what you gotta do... The forecast called for rain so I tossed the TBNY's on... Ill try again tomorrow. I'm a Sales Manager so smiling is a must! =} see....

keep at it, i look forward to seeing your progress!

new Lazio-suit. Fresh out of the box, zero alterations.
Maybe I will have the pants hemmed, nothing else to do.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

could use a bit of a hem, but i love the combo and the fit is quite nice.

The weather has finally been really nice here the last couple of days, so I decided to bring out a lighter jacket that has been in storage over the winter. Needless to say, once I got to work it almost immediately started to rain . So much for spring.....

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

love it.

not 100% on this today. I havent worn this tie in months and months...wanted to give it some wear...second guessing my choice though. I purged a lot of ties recently...maybe this one will be next.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Tom Ford era Gucci
Lewin shirt
Tom Ford tie
TieBar linen square
Howard Yount trous
G&G Hoves

have the same tie in a blue/teal combo. not SF approved and not super versatile, but when used right i think its awesome. id say keep it.

**** PSs and their rules. **** them to hell.

Haha, exactly. (Half-sarcasm.)

Quote: Honestly, honestly, I think you need to lighten up on squares (it seems like you are 99% toward a white TV fold, and I seem to remember you saying you disliked other folds--which is fine). I think there are always several options for any fit in regards to colour and to a much lesser extent material. I think folds can be applied well, but in no way whatsoever ruin a fit. 'Rules' like no coloured edges are just... IDK... ruining in themselves.

I only wear white linen in a TV fold, but that is not all I find acceptable. I find many, many others acceptable, however if it isn't white linen, it shouldn't be folded, it should be puffed with no edges showing. I think contrast edges are tacky, a few steps above flashy even.

I am in no way getting into another conversation about 'rules'; I wash my hands of this.

Great jacket--not sure about the shirt.

Thanks, what's wrong with the shirt? It's a light blue OCBD, except the buttons are behind the collar. I'm not a big fan of buttondowns where you can see the buttons, and I don't care much for collar roll either, except if it's a tab collar. I guess it's just a pet peeve of mine, but I just don't like seeing the buttons, it seems a little messy to me.

Or the square.

Hmm... not a square fail (I know how picky you are with squares). The navy runs through the jacket so no fail.

The only time you should see the edges of a square is when it is white linen and in that same TV fold. Anything else should be puffed. That's the rule. Is it "the" rule? I don't know, but it sure is mine.

TBH, that makes no sense to me whatsoever. Show me the rule book.

i actually agree with you on this.

This is a white linen square with navy edges. It's in the TV fold, albeit folded a little bit more nonchalantly. I've seen plenty of SF members do it, and I've certainly never seen a rule against it.

that being said....

Spoiler: cool instagram-ey chest shot (no nips)

 

[patrickBOOTH]

Doing something on SF in no ways makes it a good option. I'm not an authority on anything, I'm just saying it looks bad.

 

[patrickBOOTH]

Stiches I like both the shirt and tie, but not together. Too much blue on the top.

 

[Monkeyface]

that being said....

I'm usually not a fan of instagram, but I think that closeup of your tie looks great! I'm not sure if i'm seeing this correctly, but are the flowers in your tie somewhat similar to those on your socks? If so, great detail!
