HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

[Ebonyman]



Yesterday's fit. Round two with the wide lapels. The waist suppression hasn't been done yet. This is Firm BBQ Conservative Business Dress so no p-square. My watch was playing a game with the left sleeve. A new hopsack is on the way for a little variation.

I like the colors used in this fit. Those are some w-i-d-e lapels! Is this mtm or vintage? I must say this look seems difficult to pull off because with a 4 or 4.5 inch tie to match up with the lapels, you come dangerously close to costume territory. What you've done doesn't look bad at all though. Besides some additional waist suppression on the jacket, you might also want to shorten the length of your trousers.

@HoldFast: I liked that a lot! Deets on the jacket, please!

I usually don't like the knot he makes, if he throwed in a nice dimple that would be a different story.

this. a little dimple goes a long way.

@claghorn, i absolutely disagree the suits louis litt (??) wears in that show are ridiculously tight and don't fit. at all. They have huge collar gaps and his lapels are bowing.

I have noticed this as well. Is it to show that he is an underling of Harvey maybe?

Suits!

The gingham is a bold choice, making for a busy scene, but I like it.

HF - that's killer, bro.

looking summery, HF. very nice.

Thanks fellas; it's Ede & Ravenscroft from a Harrisons linen (from the heavier/more textured selection of linens in the Mersolair book). The jacket is now several years old but I've just ordered a pair of trousers in the same fabric so I can wear it as a suit occasionally. Ordering jacket and trouser years apart isn't something I'd usually do (and moreover, the jacket is bespoke while the trousers will be MTM) but I really want a cream linen suit, and it seemed pointless to have both a cream linen jacket AND a cream linen suit. Besides, because it's cream, it hasn't faded further in sunlight (I checked it against the swatch in the book) so fingers crossed, I should hopefully get away with this somewhat reckless act!

Suits!

I was under the impression they wore someone else. Didn't know they wore Tom Ford.

Someone tell THIS dude that Windsors are awful:

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I haven't seen this show. One of the main reasons is how awful this guy looks. If they can't dress the leading character properly in a show that's even named "Suits", then this show probably won't have much else to offer.

I am sure the show's creators and producers are very upset and would be more than willing to give their leading character a complete makeover if they knew it would secure your viewership.

I watch the show because of this:

Haven't worn this out yet. Just posting it for your input. Too many patterns???? I think a solid shirt would be better. Thoughts?

 

[mrjester]

I think the tie needs to die and the colors need to vary a little more.
