HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

[steffenbp11]

Anden, have to agree with Timo. A normal spread would have looked a lot better. The other elements and colours are nice though

 

[Henry Carter]

Kent, have you thought about a lower buttoning point and a stronger shoulder?

mairaksinen, there´s an awful lot of #menswear going on in that pic, but I like it I am not sold on the weave of the shirt though if I have to be picky..

Kent, that is really hardcore but really well executed. Only complaint are the trainers - they feel a bit out of place even with the casual nature of the suit. But I have no experience with croquet or anywhere where seersucker is appropriate, so perhaps it is rather more par-for-the-course.

Flat shoes are required for croquet, lest the heel foul up the lawn—usually the lawn is not so sensitive but it can be if it's wet. Maybe boat shoes would work? I can't think of any other options.

Kent, have you thought about a lower buttoning point and a stronger shoulder?

The buttoning point does look quite high, but it's because it was shot from a low angle, which shifts the perception of the buttoning point 1.5 cm higher—I know this from taking made-to-measure orders for customers based on photos.

I usually take a lightly padded shoulder, but this is an unstructured jacket so no shoulder padding. I can actually machine wash the whole thing, which is useful for such an easily stained garment.

Aha, ok. I do know that trainers were originally designed as croquet shoes in the late 19th century, so it makes sense to continue wearing them in such a context. It is sport after all!

Trashness restocked their "extreme cutaway" oxfords last week. At 29 USD I had to give it a try.

Worn with a Caruso SC, Zegna tie and my grandfathers handmade linen PS + Chinos and dubmunks.

that's on the same level as these beauties: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1554649889/parle-iv-changing-mens-dress-shirts-forever





Perfect timing Mr. Wang! ---> http://www.styleforum.net/t/348731/...embrace-the-wrinkle-sprezz/0_100#post_6362668

BWB Bespoke Social Club I belong to organized a competition on mixing patterns. That combo won me second place And yes... there were more than two competitors Sorry for Instagram quality

That is, as objectively as this stuff can possibly be, irredeemably horrible. Every piece is either ugly in its own right or completely out of place with everything else. Taking it from the top-- Contrast collar shirt - not to be worn except in very limited circumstances (that part is more my personal preference). But certainly to be worn with a suit or at least a navy blazer. Makes zero sense with tweed. Polka dot ties are generally not so good, unless you're the reincarnation of Churchill. And even then, goes with a suit or blazer. The sportscoat isn't my cup of tea, but assuming everything was based on it and its patterned-ness, you could have made it work. The bright, bold (and IMO fugly) square perfectly clashes with the bold sportscoat. And hey, you have some flair! The monopoly lapel pin is always a nice addition.

I'm glad you got that out of your system. Let us never speak of this again.

This is MC Casual, right? Mimo?

looks too "extreme" for me, at least when worn with a tie.

I would say unwearable with a tie.

 

[YRR92]

I would say unwearable.

FTFY.

Sorry, dude. It looks like you could take flight if you had a decent headwind. That said, I like the whole rest of the rig.
